The STF does nothing and I'm going to post every report I file as proof.

Translation: "I want to share publicly that I also don't like this person in a spam thread."

Hey, people are free to like and not like who they want. I even explicitly tell some people "if you don't like what I say, use the block list." Because I have the freedom to say it and I'm not breaking any rules.

It does not bother me in any way whatsoever that someone actually followed that advice. It's unfortunate that we won't be able to try to work out any differences, but hey, it is what it is.

1 billion pages.

I just honestly wonder how they havent banned you, because your comments are usually quite pointed/controversial and often times bordering rude. I think its nice you post here often as this place is dead, but literally everyone else gets banned lol.

If this is meant for me.... I'm not trying to be rude, nor deliberately controversial. Sometimes it may end up happening that way, but I'm really just passionate and like talking about the game. I have had a few posts moderated over the years, and I did get banned from the FFXIV forums like in the first months ARR came out (for using the R word to describe an idea, which I acknowledge wasn't a great choice). I've tried numerous times to get amnesty over the years but any time you try to appeal a forum ban they just look at the original case and go "yep they deserved it," without any consideration of the passage of time, or even behavior over here (both forums are handled by the same moderators, officially at least). So when SE says forever they mean forever.

In my defense though: it was and still is incredibly easy to get banned from the XIV forum, anything less than a shining beacon of light and you're probably gone after a couple warnings. In my case, the post in question was actually weeks old and buried when I got banned for it, I can only summise that it either took them that long to "investigate," or that someone found the post and reported it for language long after that thread was already dead (which, in my opinion, is a bit petty). Even if you're not banned on a violation, your record seems to stay with you forever and they will just automatically ban you after so many offenses, even if there is a lot of time between them.

Meanwhile, here we have Uriah, who has had other accounts banned and continues to spam these pointless report screenshots and it seems like the mods have decided to juist let him do his thing in this otherwise rarely used part of the forum and as long as he keeps it here they will leave it alone. I suspect they just don't want to play whack a mole since he will likely come back in a fit of rage on another account if they ban him again.

The person in charge of it has resigned themselves to the notion that the person can't be stopped because they just come back again. They are going with a policy of containment. So essentially this person should just be replaced with someone willing to be responsible.
