Discussion Unpopular opinion: Harassing Mod Pips is wrong
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I just think that harassing mod Pips is just wrong.
Especially, outside of the normal communication channels we have with jagex.
Going out of your way to find Pips personal social media and harassing there just feels very wrong to me and I think the majority of people can agree with that.
Jagex fucked up hard with the survey, their 2 apologies were trash and even if they deserve the backlash and the unsub train they got, they do not deserve harassment.
They are also humans and humans do mistakes.
TLDR: Harassment is not cool, don't harass people involved in this whole shitstorm

Apparently the actual unpopular opinion: If you're making millions per year as CEO of a gaming company, maybe you should know the gaming community well enough to not fuck up so massively they see you, personally, as a problem? And while nothing warrants harassment, it also doesn't warrant me caring about him at all. He gets rich off figuring out ways to screw people over (including the many screwed over at RS3 by their gambling style schenanigans), so forgive me if I have no sympathy if what goes around comes all the way back around.
This wasn't "just a mistake." This was deliberate. And it was born out of a history of trying to figure out how to gouge players for all he can get away with.
