Addressing it when it is brought up to them and ban people who do it accordingly would be a good start.
They say they want to start enforcing the rules consistently, and harassment is a rule they have, but their rule is way behind the times with Discord groups being little cliques on this website that harass other players to silence them, and when brought up all people say is "oh well, not my problem, it was off site so whatever".
Do you know why police departments have jurisdictions? Or why the FBI is not allowed to investigate in Canada, and CSIS vice versa? I know it's kind of a reach but you can see what I'm getting at here and how silly your suggestion is, right?
Okay, but you do know your local police department has no tools to combat cyberharassment, correct?
As in, if you call the cops, right now, over what someone did to you on Discord, the whole thing will likely go into a report bin to never be seen again because the cops don't have the tools to handle it, and they can't do anything anyways if it is out of their jurisdiction.
It's easy to say "call the cops", a different thing is to understand why cyberharassment works so effectively despite the laws in several states against it.
But to address your question, I understand the fact you're saying "it's out of their department", but the problem is I specifically focused on player-to-player harassment in a bid to silence them, which nothing is being done about, even when brought up that this is a problem.
It might be silly to you, but this lack of willingness to do anything about it is why a lot of people are flipping shit, added to everything else.
