Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

Roleplay and other such ads dont belong in party finder, simple as that. I'm glad they are enforcing the rules here. Annoying seeing nsfw rp ads in party finder and other such things. The GM has said other avenues you can take, if anything you should be campaigning for improvements to the fellowships because they suck as is atm.

Since then they can act on a definitive ruleset for PF and SF (Social Finder) and this type of thing shouldn't come up again.... It probably will depending on WHY it happened (Could be some bad faith actors against RP, could be a GM acting upon their own preferences etc).

Right, the source of the incident is still unknown, and for people playing the blame game... it's not going to achieve anything. However, we DO need clarification from SE and a fair and amenable resolution does need to be found as it has apparently *points to the previous 8 pages* caused some kind of discourse and rift in the game community as a whole.

I don't think the FC bit is much of a tell, there are a large number of events (roleplay and otherwise) run by a cross FC group. On crystal cross-FC RP Events are more the norm than FC centric.

From I believe a year ago. Why is it only this GM in all these new reports? Is someone going rogue here?

And while I do agree about Fellowships... the other alternatives were already defeated as non-amenable resources for several reasons. The argument shouldn't be what does and doesn't belong (cause then it literally becomes a game of politics) but rather how can SE design this better to accommodate for different aspects of the gaming community.

Can we get a moderator to advise the official Square Enix stance:

Is using the Party Finder "Other" tab acceptable for roleplay events and venues?

But where will I get my HQ feet pics now? :P

Was a real advert I saw in PF.

I'm inclined to agree with everything, I just find the enabling factor of PF is too great. Far too great.

Arguably...

3.3 Profanity and Offensive Language. You may not use profanity or any language that a reasonable person would find offensive. The Game is for players aged 13 and older. You agree to behave accordingly.

3.6 Any Illegal Activities. You may not conduct any illegal activities whatsoever in connection with the Game. This includes every illegal activity not specifically highlighted above, including without limitation gambling, defamation, harassment, and fraud.

To ERP in private is 1 thing. To publicly announce such activities, one could argue violates both 3.3, and 3.6

Run Kefka savage, during the God Kefka phase transition you get a nice close up of his feet like it's a Tarantino movie; now he's a man who loves feet.

Don't see any changes in the pf ads for clubs and 18+ content on Crystal. Tons of it in the evenings and very popular for many who frequent those establishments.
