People are bypassing the character limit in the term filter...

Also, it's very weird and creepy to spam the game's public chat with ads to 18+ venues with adult/overly sexual themes in a PG-13 rated game. People should have some common sense of the limit.

This is a 14 character term (15 with the space I removed), and yet it says its has 42 characters, so they keep spamming /shout avoiding the filter.
Would be nice to have this fixed, and allow us to use space in the term filter.

And to you scum that do this, no one cares about your venue or your boring gpose pictures, go touch grass, perhaps practice photography in the real world to be worth something, you are not a real photographer and your gpose pictures are terrible.

It feels like it got worse ever since they opened DC Travel, now not only there's ads related to venues from my own DC, now there's also spam of venues from Crystal (most of them are from Crystal)

Luckily all RMT spam is gone with just ".COM", ".C0M", ".com-" and ".C" (the block letter). That's still nearly half the available filters though.

You can report just about anything you want. Whether the GMs will take action is another matter.

If the message appears to be broken up into 4 parts solely for the sake of getting around player filters, the GMs might take action. If it's being broken up into 4 parts simply because it's that long, they probably wouldn't.

Unfortunately, common sense isn't convenient for people who are out to annoy others.

...

I hate RP ads, but I hate this awful argument. Be a better parent and don't expect the internet to parent your child for you....wait you don't have a child?

I wouldn't let a kid touch this game if I had one because in my opinion the MSQ's themes are inappropriate, especially the depression fetish that was Endwalker.

Where alot of chars
'would rather die than be saved'
'would rather die and kill everyone around them'
'just wants to die fighting you'
'wants to die and have nothing to do with you'
'commits the game end because they'd rather die than be humiliated'

But guys it's about hoooope! Right? Right?

Then there's Yotsuyu...who was sold into prostitution. And so on. Arenvald's mother was SA'd by a Garlean and that made his mother try to dig out the third eye she thought he'd have.

So many child friendly themes in this game... there's literally miqo'te prostitutes in Ul'dah and other areas....Oh and the great community btw.. :rolleyes:

Sexual themes =/= explicit content.

The game is rated PG-13, not 16, not 18... mild sexual themes are one thing, literally advertising sexual interactions with other people in an open chat is another entierly.

Edit: If you wouldn't let you kid see a story that teaches about hope, redemption, over and over taps on themes of cooperation and the good and old "friendship power" anime thing, then your kid wouldn't watch anything at all period.
Now, having people promoting sexual interactions with other people in the open chat? that's just degenerate behaviour. Would you think is ok to go in a public space and shout "hey guys lets get naked and have s*x!!" appropriate? The game is a hub with many beliefs and different types of people, from teens to adults, be civil, wanna have ERP? do not promote it in the open chat.

Hell, I barely see shout in general, since even big city shout chats are usually just pointless crap.

I agree, but if people want the feature let them have it. I also don't understand how people constantly have maxed out Blacklists lol. Sometimes I feel like I must have a supernatural gift to just be unbothered.

Don't be toxic on your last part. Even if they're annoying and spammy, judging or making assumptions like you do amounts to no good and is immature. Though I understand the sentiment behind, I just block and move on to other places.

I just wish they'd lower the minimum character count to two. There have been several spam items that I could have completely blocked with 2 characters.

Don’t take this as an argument or me asking to debate because I assure you I do not want to.

Just trying to inform you and others if you didn’t already know, the game has a way to disable shout chat completely, or even move it to its own separate chat tab you can ignore unless you need it. There are pretty robust UI settings built right in. I hope this information is useful. If not, then carry on.
