Terms of Service that don't require us to censor ourselves

[Daleterrence]

Seriously SE, you made these forums to get our feedback, correct?

According to your Terms of Service for the forums, we can't say anything bad about FFXI, the forum, or SE. How exactly are we supposed to give you our feedback when all we can post is:

"I like FFXI, FFXI is good, and SE is a great company."

If you want people to kiss your ass then get your secretaries/interns to do it, don't make it so everybody on the forums has to do it as well.

Totally agree. Oddly enough, the majority of us don't live in a country where free speech is disallowed, so the idea of being told to be completely nice about FFXI or get out seems alittle... moot.

Free speech is only protected in public areas, and it prevents the government from stopping your speech. This is a private area, run by SquareEnix. They can limit your speech however they feel like on their own servers and forum, and can kick you off them if they don't like you. Your rights don't include a right to post here for whatever you want.

Every forum is like that.
