Still, annoying people, destroying their work, spreading hate and what not, is NOT funny. It hurts, it sucks. Watching those videos and potentionally laughing about it is NOT better than doing that. And I see why some people do it, to "spread knowledge about server security". But this is a very harsh way of doing so.

[@ashspeaker7833]

They aren't doing it for any "just" reason. They just use excuses and shift blame to other people to gain moral highground and justify their need for superiority. Think about it: they ruin people's fun and get off from it. They aren't spreading awareness, nor they "punish" anyone, they just want to make themselves feel better by bringing other people down.

I agree. On anarchy servers, everyone who joins knows what they're getting into, so that's perfectly fine, but when you do that to people who didn't sign for it, that's when it becomes a problem. There's no need to destroy people's creations just to say "there's a security issue". They could've reached out to the servers' owners and warn them without destroying anything.

The difference between old school trolling and what The Fifth Column were doing is that the older victims usually made an error of judgement themselves, which was exploited, such as publicly posting their server IP around online or trusting random players with op privileges. In the newer examples, however, the victims were doing absolutely NOTHING themselves to warrant being griefed. Like the example of Jeb and the Mojang offices, those were servers never meant to be public. They did not make an error on their part, it was an entirely outside factor. Also, old school trollers had finesse. What The Fifth Column were doing was just lazy.

[@thef1fthcolumn]

That's the point though. The "outside factor" that allowed these streamers to be griefed (AND EVEN MOJANG THEMSELVES) was that the game, at its core, lacks basic server security that should exist to protect its playerbase.

Honestly i think the people who hack into other people's minecraft servers to grief them should be banned.

Not everyone knows how to make a server more secure, but they shouldn't be punished because of that. That's like saying if someone puts a virus on a technically challenged person's computer (who doesnt know much internet safety) and people defending the guy who put the virus on there when the government takes action against them (this isnt a very good analogy but i think you get the point).

Id be fine with just a incremental ban system where the more it happens the longer time it takes to wear off, for multiplayer only. I feel like there's two very big things wrong with the system as it stands. 1, it should be server based. That way if you get banned, your banned from that server, not the entire damn multiplayer system! 2, it's permanent, it should never be permanent, especially since servers already pretty much handled moderation on their own prior. In any case, i guess I'm just glad the system is as underused as it is and not more widespread. It's not as bad as it could be, at least.

Imagine not only using bots and a mod to grief random servers but using inappropiate builds or bad ppl as an excuse to do so. They are actually violating privacy laws all over the world. If they just got on the servers and told them to use whitelists they may have been praised as the ones who truly care about server security by just showing up. But they abused the power they got and decided that instead of warning everyone, they'd grief everyone. As I heard of that thing I not only decided to let my servers never again be not whitelisted I also play on modded servers only so the fith column is definitly unable to access them. well there would have been a better way of making a statement about server security. Now everyone hates them and I hope that mojang and microsoft come to their senses and ban them of getting access to the game ever again.
