Newcomer / Intro Destroyed At Deciat

[Screemonster]

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking that an instant Open PVE mode could be created this way for all players seeking this experience.

If nothing else, I've seen enough analogues of such lists on social media to know that I'd trust such a list about as far as I could throw the datacentre it's housed in. They're incredibly ripe for abuse as all it takes is for one malicious actor to have access to the list and suddenly people are getting unpersoned for things that have absolutely nothing to do with the list's stated goal.

And it really doesn't take much of a mental leap for the administrators of such things to step from "I'm doing this for the good of the community" to "I'm going to get rid of this person I personally don't like, for the good of the community" to "anyone who criticises my methods is a bad actor" to "anything I do, no matter how unpleasant, is justified because I'm doing it for good reasons".

Well, i heard that list with the distant gank kill roster is still on Reddit. And naming and shaming is only forbidden here on the forums, but not on other sites.
So a simple list (this is my block list for example) might not be an EULA breach, but jumping the fence and scrubbing the net log for IP addresses, matching those ip addresses to commanders then trying to dox people as a certain SPEAR leader tried to... well, that's bad and creepy and well deserved a ban.
