Understandably my post on this thread won't mean much. The whole community has already responded to injustice. But I want you to hear my voice as well.
Raz, I joined FH just a bit of time ago. In fact, I was adjusting to meeting everyone and could accept that not everyone would like me - hence, the block system. What is it you think people are using it for? To report violations? No. People use the block system to stop people from showing up in their chat because they just don't like them. People could easily tell their friends to mass block a player in chat for their own... I don't know, group liaison. But do you realize what has happened?
If I just joined and this has happened within the first few weeks, I'm not going to be thinking about myself. I'm thinking about the other new players, who will have this new system, and be banned in the span of the first month they're there because of those abusing the system. It's not as simple as a syllogism from two inferences, and that's why it's such a big deal.
I have heard from veteran members about what happened in the past. Many times over, people have turned against each other. Things can go to the wayside very quickly. To add to that, most of the community is underage. I don't want to admonish or chastise you, Raz. I just want to talk about you reconsidering this decision. I was there during the in-game rally that Esarosa posted. It just kept getting bigger, too. It didn't fizzle out 'til late.
The decision to not tell your staff members is wildly unreasonable. Your lack of in-game presence and forum presence doesn't cast up well to this post. People are threatening to leave, people I've met, and people you've probably met too - all if this... this idea goes through.
To all the community members, I apologize deeply. I hoped that my first post wouldn't have to be something that had to do with an issue like this. But I hope that FH never stops going, and I hope for it to one day be my primary site.
And the FH community's strength is something an update can never take away.
