What a weird line of reasoning. That something is allowed by "the rules" doesn't make it morally justified. Assholes should be called out on their behavior, rather than hating on the creators of a system that believe people to act in good faith. Sure, those creators can take steps to mitigate malicious behavior, but the onus is not on them.

You must be from a very nice place, where people not only follow the rules, but also restrain from abusing them even when not morally justified to do so.

I live in "the real world" where this is not how things go, and abuse is absolutely expected.

that doesn't mean abuse isn't an asshole move
