I think it is fun to just phase, and spy on people and events (big or small) and whatever else catches my interest. If all my enemies, and I use this term loosely, gather in one place and suddenly Gods are popping in, that piques my curiosity and spying is a legitimate reason to find out what is going on. If you as a player -need- to know what is going on for whatever reason, then find out in a way that doesn't come across as potentially hostile. If phased citizens of Enorian or Duiran showed up at the big bad summoning of all the demonfolk and human sacrifice and whatnot, I'd try to eye sigil them and have them removed. If they're interested on an OOC level, they can ask for a log on the forums or whatever else, but I'm not going to break character and let them spy just because they want to. I expect exactly the same thing whenever I am phased inside an enemy city, in the room of an ongoing event, or in someone else's haven.
I think it might just be me that gets this rush when spying on something that's clearly none of my business, and the danger of being caught and the associated maneuvering is fun to me.

Boom, fixed. No need to get all up-in-arms about it.

Just come to the events, and RP it however. Or don't, and sit there and ignore people and half-idle like everyone else.
If people are sending you jerk messages, who cares? Don't plan your day around people being jerks. Your problem is you get so worked up over what people say that you preemptively act in certain ways, and it sort of perpetuates this silly loop. You're being defensive or aggressive right from the start, and then then they feel justified for being mean to you because 'Moirean did it again', but then you feel like you're justified, for being upset, mad, angry, sad, or acting in your own negative fashion because 'they were going to be / are being / always are jerks to me anyway',
Fuggem, man. Just come to the event. At least approach it like a normal person (literally, as in not phased) and validate your argument of not being there to cause mischief. Make them the real bad guy, instead of Moirean's perceived bad guy.
If you're in public, it's in character. All of it, without exception.

The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A massive iron door looms above you. A yellowed bone slice lies here. There are 34 Teshen raiders here.
This is exactly what was on my mind, and when mentioned, this fact was dismissed. I can still name off a handful of guilds that, even to this day, are far more stagnant and neigh-impossible to progress (mostly from afk/interview denial) than the syssin ever were. This was back when the guild was commanding topguilds at 1000+ daily for several weeks consecutively, and the requirements then still weren't very much worse than they are now. No essence or mist requirements, at least. (EDIT: I need to note that the original changes to progression requirements and such following the Inquisitor revamp were all Divine approved.)
More concerning for me was that Administration poked in to enforce these changes, spawned from a mandated facelift/reform, but then gave Zero support in engaging or promoting activity for the guild, even when practically begged for on my part. I offered several ideas and pledged to write and do whatever I could to help cement some kind of micro-event to reinforce the change. Ideas from other secretaries like @Jensen and @Ferrik. In the end, I got absolutely nothing and drifted off to other games. Now I know not all administrators 'do rp', but I'm fairly certain they know some who do.
That being said, I think this can be handled pretty fine IG and I think it's a fun challenge we should tackle as players to sort out.
