Report Those User Agreement Violations!

[Habu]

Everyone we must band together and help this outstanding forum citizen get his just revenge on those who reported him. We must all spam the report button on those speaking negatively against SE the almighty, and bring peace and serenity back to these forums.

I would just like to clarify that I am in no way endorsing any sort of "spamming," which itself would appear to violate the FINAL FANTASY XI User Agreement. I only suggest that the "Report Post" button be used to legitimately report violations of the terms as written.

Yer, that's nothing new.
And yer, I actually read stuff like that!

I still find it borderline hilarious. ^^

Seeing as how we pay to play, we have a right to voice our opinions if the SE dev team won't take appropriate actions. Seeing as how the game turned to utter crap after you know who came back, I'll voice my opinions as much as I like, even if that means having to hurt the "pride" of our very dear SE team.

You wouldn't be here if you did not sign the FINAL FANTASY XI User Agreement. In the Agreement, you acknowledged that you cannot make such posts on these forums. You also consented to disciplinary action by Square Enix if you violated the terms of the Agreement.

Don't try to put all the blame on Tanaka

Ziyyigo-Tipyigo,

I liked your previous recent signature much more, though obviously it would have been a violation as well. Ð:

Also, who or what is “Sybil”?


In all seriousness, there would not be many a post if those rules were enforced to the letter (cough, same for in-game stuff). For one, this exact thing about criticising, and for another, how on-topic everything should be (everything needs to be related to FFXI and so on, so on...).

It's more than likely up for the judgement of a moderator dealing with a certain post at a given time, so there usually is some leeway. Of course, I'm merely speculating, and one could speculate on the life-span of this thread just as well, no matter how 'correct' and right-on-topic it is. =/

(It might incite unwanted posts and all that nice stuff.)

I do agree though, that everyone should make use of the report feature though only when one personally deems it necessary, not because “that guy with the onion-cut told me to”. ^^

Yeah, I decided I need to be "by the book" from this point on, have all my ducks in a row, etc.

Typo fixed. >.>

Yeah, in my opinion (IANAL), the Agreement is written to allow Square Enix discretion on deciding when and how disciplinary action is taken. But there is a difference between "discretionary" and "arbitrary," and I would like to make sure enforcement on these forums doesn't end up in the latter category.

I do find myself questioning the great apparent need to enforce the "no criticism" clause, but I do so in only a positive and constructive way!

that guy with the onion-cut

All these years and it never occurred to me that it looked like an onion (a star onion?). I always assumed it was an acorn...
