It's just spiteful and childish snitching.

"Snitching?" But if you don't violate the Agreement, you have nothing to fear, do you? Otherwise, by your own signature you have no other option but to go elsewhere.

You can't even call this revenge or anything. It's just spiteful and childish snitching. "BUT TIMMY HAS FIRECRACKERS TOO"

The whole mod system is based on snitching. Some people on these forums report any post that disagrees with them if there's any hint of "meanness" (bahhhh how dare you criticise me or tell me I'm wrong!). Mods don't even look posts unless their attention gets called to it. I've seen posts get nuked while the other posts littered with foul language and "aggressive tones" in access of the nuked post remain. The only reason they stay is because no one calls attention to them because most people know what debate entails and don't take things personally, others are, well, babies, and get their panties in a bunch when someone says something they don't like then they hit the report button.

My only gripe with this board is lazy moderation. All conversations have context, if one post is in violation, chances are there's a dozen more equally in violation but the mods don't even look at them.

Whoops, criticised SE. Looks like this post will get nuked too.

All I got to say is, Who stole the OP's Honey Nut Cherrios? I guess I would be mad too if my cereal was gone. >:/

Oh No! If they ban your char from the forums you'll have to start using your REAL CHAR and then everyone will know who you are!

Remember also that criticism isn't all bad, so in all truth, the user agreement is also saying that anyone who posts POSITIVE CRITICISM of SE staff should also be reported.

"Great new update, Development Team! Definately got this one right" >>> This is a violation of the user agreement and so your account will now be locked.

Edit: The user agreement doesn't state that you can't criticise the user agreement itself, either^^

The interesting thing about posting with your lowest job rather than your highest is that you get to see who's more interested in the messenger than the message. It also highlights who pays more attention to the level than the job.

No, it's only "Square Enix staff" that are shielded from criticism. Everything else about Square Enix is fair game for "criticism," so long as it doesn't become "disparagement."

OP seems a bit buttmad that he got in trouble with the moderators and wants to make sure everyone else does as well.

In order to help the moderators ensure that these forums continue to be a positive and uplifting place, one where the Square Enix staff are completely free of criticism, I think it's important that we all do our part to report any and all posts critical of Square Enix staff, saving our moderators the work of having to find these posting violations.

So please, do your part and click that little "Report Post" icon in the lower-left of every post you see that criticizes Square Enix staff.

Every. Last. One.

Hmm........................ This bloke is pointing a catch 22, entrapment, the point of this board is tell SE why they're doing a horrible job at making content... if not we'd just go back to BG or killingifrit defeating the purpose of having this.

its usually people like this that couldn't keep their arguments civil, got into some sort of an argument with a mod or community rep, or maybe even both, became offensive then got reported and or banned for a short period of time, he really doesn't understand what he did wrong, so now he thinks every comment that doesn't agree with an SE staff member must be offensive and must be reported

honestly, if you don't really understand what you yourself did wrong, you only create more hostility toward yourself by doing this kind of thing

constructive criticism is welcomed by anyone who is civil and wants to better themselves, negative criticism isn't welcomed by anyone, learn the difference and you will go far in life

I still like how a third of the people on the forum post things that highlight their ToS violations in game.
