I'd like to know why I'm in the Mordian Gaol

So you admit that you broke the ToS, probably on multiple occasions, and then you are surprised when they locked your character up? lol

I'm actually more surprised I wasn't told why I'm here. But I'll be honest, I WAS surprised they had this whole Gaol thing and they let your character move around and feel a prison around you. I figured, at best, I'd get an e-mail and wouldn't be able to log in for a while, with, like, a date of when (or even IF) I could return.

If you’re hoping to be told exactly why you’re there, it’s not gonna happen. They won’t specify to protect the reporter from harassment. In your case it could be a myriad of things that you repeatedly do, so it probably wouldn’t hurt to tell you what it was (swearing or whatever) because it’s not like you’d be able to single out the only time you did that. But the rules were made to cover scenarios where the the reporter could be more easily singled out, so you get what we have now.

In fact, they used to specify what the issue was, AFAIK. Things must have changed after some event happened where the reporter got targeted.

Yeah, I don't expect the guy to pull chat logs and highlight the section that got me reported for it. Hell, that seems like a pain to do on a logistic standpoint, my chat log alone should be huge, not even mentioning that it could possibly point out to whoever reported me and annonimity is crucial. But I would at least like the nature of the issue.

Unless I really did manage to break the entire ToS all at once... (And then I'd be surprised if I was still in Gaol.)

Ahhh ok. Yeah when a GM appears they’ll likely give you the section of TOS that you broke for that particular report at least. They seem to be fine with that. Good luck! And maybe take a break from PvP lol.

I've made a promise that I would level MNK entirely by not playing him in Frontlines... And I aim to keep that promise. I'll just have to keep quiet and hope for a good team when going back in there. No shot-calling anymore...

Also, for a conclusion to the story, it was deemed as "Innapropriate Comments"... Probably because I've gone League of Legends on the Frontline chat and that would easily, without a shadow of a doubt, be constructed as Innapropriate. Fairly fast all things considered, I think it was maybe 2hrs.

(Curiously enough, it was not profanity... Although it was probably definitely involved.)

What you did or said is not important, it's not why you're in jail. The best predictor of why you're in jail is that someone reported you. This is a game for the easily offended.

How to avoid it? Treat "hi" as the most controversial thing you can say when talking to strangers.

Nah, being reported doesn't mean anything unless you actually did something to break the rules.

Or the entire game would be dead because everyone would be banned.

Gotta love people who use excessive stretching of the truth.

But regardless, if just letting the chat filter pick it out is a bad idea, I'd get why I'm here, it definitely makes sense.

I'm also a very angry dude on Frontlines because... They're Frontlines, if you've ever been there then you know what I'm talking about. Nearly everything I said there could very easily be construded as a Reportable action which, again, makes sense.

Looks like you answered your own question.
