I have two T-shirts labeled:
-"I Have Survived Barrens Chat"
and
-"I have Survived Pornshire"

Some of us can handle it and are really numb to it by now.

IJS, if it's really rated for 12 of age and up, you'd think it'd be reflected there.

If you go to the german version of FFXIV site, on the bottom it says 12+, because Germany doesn't use PEGI, it uses USK.

Have you thought of moving to another server where this isn't the norm? Not that this kind of thing can't happen on any server, but it seems to be less prevalent on other servers. I think Mateus is the new rp server so might want to avoid that one too.

Also, this is not really the GM's fault. Free speech is a thing, even if we don't like what is being said.

erp is against the tos if done in public. tells they have 0 control, but erp is against the tos.

Obviously you should employ some judgement as to when you think it is or is not appropriate to use naughty language, but the ESRB, PEGI, etc have no jurisdiction when it comes to what players do.

That is why in addition to the game's rating, we get the "online interactions are not rated" clause.

More often than not, no one is going to report you for using the f-word or posting a macro of a buff cat with a giant penis - it is still a risk, however. I am more in the camp that people shouldn't be penalized for language unless it is abusive or defamatory, but at the end of the day all of this is at SE's discretion.

Some of the NPCS and quests use cuss words or very vulgar language. There's an entire quest line around discussing a guy's length.

Wait, wait, wait...

So you've kicked someone from NN for saying the word 'futa'?

You know you are on Balmung, right?

I took that directly from the FFXIV user agreement (English) that is found here

I don’t think the GM has an issue with Eve reporting people for vulgarity or obscenity, the GM is just saying “Hey, when you kick people afterwards you’re actively trying to moderate the speech in Novice Network, and that’s not your job. Please feel free to report but then simply blacklist the person pending an investigation instead of taking things into your own hands and kicking the offender.”

Eve, please stop kicking people. You’re not a moderator or a GM. Please leave that stuff to the people who were actually given the authority to do so, which you were not.

Thank you to the 27 and counting people that show their support for this even though I didn't even post it in the right forum. Since there's so much interest and confusion, this may help a little for additional context:
