Alternatively:

- Phone number verification and the phone number cannot be used more than once.
- If an IP address associated with a blocked account, other accounts can't use the same IP to comment from.

Or just give up on this 20 year old build of vbulletin and switch to discourse with trust factor.

"Nobody talks bad about my final fantasy!" unsheathes katana, basically as soon as a streamer stops slurp glurping, the NPC's come out in full force

I don't watch any of them and I don't care what they said.

I doubt this forum hates youtubers at a greater frequency than anywhere else. Every one of them has their share of haters. Although I think some youtubers attract it a lot more due to their characters being deliberately controversial.

I don't personally watch them much for information purposes because I'm not exactly new to the game. Mostly just for entertainment purposes, or to see what they think in the very same way I read here to see what people think, or confirm that I understand a strategy people want to do.

I'd say in terms of toxicity, there's far more to be found over on the likes of Twitter and Reddit which regularly allow individuals to say far more abhorrent things than they would get away with here.

Yet the post below yours speaks volumes. :)

Constructive discussion when?

When people aren't allowed to flood the forums with alt armies to farm reacts off people for fun.
It's hard to engage in proper discourse when you know that's happening.

For instance, when I left actual feedback, the posts were immediately farmed for argument loop reacts. People who do this know who they are, don't need to name names at this point, and I think at this point they want their name to passed around like some form of notoriety.

Sir or Maam, you're in a thread where I'm explicitly asking for alt hopping to be blocked, which I very much doubt alt hoppers would want. I am myself, and only myself, and starting to get the feeling I'm the only one using one account.

As well, I legitimately don't know you or the names you've mentioned. If you see tags from more than one person being the same there's a good chance it's because there's a trend of posts ongoing, and people are trying to identify the types of posts, regardless of author.

It would also be prudent to stop this conversation before your continued callouts identify as harassment.

The FFXIV forum hates anything related to FFXIV. Yet they continue paying despite this (I know because they keep posting here and you need active account to do it).

When SE can be bothered to moderate their own forum properly... and even then, it's still better than the other sites he mentioned. Reddit being something of a meme in terms of how it's moderated.

Exactly. I have been lurking on these forums for years.

I've seen multiple 'Titan men's, discords where ppl get called out from another person / people. Can we just go back to discussing the game instead of building cults?

No wonder the devs don't post here.
