    Hey @HerbertFreir, I've randomly come across this post. It's a common thing in pretty much every online game that people will flame each other. All it is is a coping mechanism so they must not admit they made a mistake themselves. It's really just the easy way out for being anonymous on the internet. There is no way of saying this is common or uncommon across a community as a whole as it's mostly invididual. Estimating how often it will happen to you is nearly impossible. Sometimes you will be flamed three times a day, sometimes it won't happen for two years straight. But there is a tendency: The bigger and the younger (on average) the community the more likely it is that people will flame, as they don't expect to bump into the other one ever again. FAF is a small, "well aged" community, and therefore less likely to be that way, as you for sure will bump into someone again. What usually helps is narrowing down the amount of anonymity to a minimum by playing with people you know through joining smaller clans / communities. I, for instance, happen to run a beginners group within the FAF Dojo. It's me and my co-trainer running training sessions with up to a dozen trainees (0-1300 rated) three times a week, in the EU evening hours. Our youngest trainee is ~20 years old, our oldest is ~60 years old. We have gay / trans people, furries... We welcome everyone and respect each other. It's about having fun and learning together. If the above is appealing to you and you could make (some of) the training hours, feel free to join our Discord server and reach out to me. If you can not make my specific training hours, please still feel free to join, meet people you could play with, and maybe find another trainer that matches your time zone.

    Have you secured your Discord account since the incident? What steps have you taken to make sure it cannot be used for malicious activity again?

    Thanks for your replies, I tested Eternal Strategic Icons, in combination with Penguin's Icon Mod and ACU Highlight (those three mods seem to be compatible), and it looks a lot nicer with the size increase of 150%

    Achievements are hidden in a separate window and are not so noticeable. The problem is big and not a priority. If there is something from the main functionality concerning the main task of the client, then it is better not to be distracted by these cosmetic trifles! Maybe then it's better to turn them off. The functionality that does not work is like a red rag for a bull - extra nervousness and an incentive to senseless action. At least this way the problem will be solved in terms of complaints. Personally, this problem with achievements annoys me much less than those drops in the global games statistics graph during the 2vs2 matchmaker tests. That's where it would definitely be worth doing something... delete the data for a couple of weeks while the test lasted and everything was not corrected , or somehow try to transfer the data to the desired schedule...

    We won't introduce additional IO functionality. As Brutus states, it is extremely dangerous. @Genos is technically correct that we can already flood the disk, but that isn't an argument to open up more IO functionality.

    There is a mod in the vault called "ChatSilencer" It stops you from seeing anyone else's chat. It does not silence pings or map markers. (In the past I was working on doing that, but I gave up and I don't feel like finishing the program, so for now it only silences chat.)
