A Free Company Blacklist would be nice.

My friends and I were trying to hold an event in our FC home, we were still in the midst of getting people and rooms prepared when an uninvited person came in and started trolling us.
The leader asked him nicely to leave three times but didn't get a reply, so another member asked him nicely to leave, the player proceeded to be annoying and responded "lol no" and started to say that he has several alternate accounts to harass us (As he was banned before and his parents bought him the game again...)
We didn't want to lock our friends and guests out of our home because of one person ruining the occasion.

So we waited to see if he would leave, but he didn't and started harassing the guests too, so one of the members reported him to the GM for harassment and disruption of others' gameplay experience.

Of course she ended up getting the usual answer:
"We'll look into it and the player is being investigated although they're in your home... RIGHT NOW bothering you and making your event less enjoyable for you and your guests... <insert more typical GM response here>"

TL;DR:
I'd like to propose a blacklist for Free Companies that allow you to block players and any alternate characters they have and the ability to automatically lock them out of the home after being added to the list.

How about a kick from house option under Housing tab, instead of blacklist. I mean, every game I played with housin had this option.

well the gm is not allowed to tell you anything that happens to the player. so they could have been punished.

That's not the point, when she reported the player she was reminded of the FC lock feature, which does nothing but locks everyone except your FC members out (Which isn't what she wanted) It's not fair that a simple feature locks everyone out because one person makes something less enjoyable for others.

I'm proposing something to alleviate the problem.

I think the access limit to house has been proposed a long time ago. I don't know why SE hasn't implemented it yet. Maybe the database requirement might be too big?
As of now we only have Private or Public, which is not good. It's like Black or White, there's no such thing as Gray.

i was not commenting on your idea i was commenting on you saying "Of course she ended up getting the usual answer"
which is all they can say is they are not allowed to tell you the outcome.

She wasn't expecting them to tell her an outcome at all, she wanted them to DO SOMETHING about the harasser, not be told "Oh there's a locking feature that you can use."
Nothing happened as the next day rolled in and he was still around.

and you have no proof that nothing was done, you have no idea if this was a first offense or not which incurs very little punishment other then jail time.

It's not his first offense, because if you read the OP it's stated that he's made alternate accounts just to harass the FC and that he was banned before and got a new game/account.

and you will take the players word for it? it's very common for a person to lie to make a victim feel helpless and it has obviously worked on you.

So you're justifying harassment? That's good to know.

What kind of proof do you need? The fact that the harasser can still come into the house means that whatever is SE's action (if there was one) is not working.

It can take time apparently for anything to happen but I suspect that when 'action is taken', the character gets suspended temporarily. I'd imagine some action is taken to ban an account eventually but...

...as an example:

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...=dsadas%20dsad

Basically, 'probably' a RMT(s) is using bots (half a dozen characters NOT on /follow but using a certain bot app to actually 'move together' and usually always THMs) to farm gil. Some of those characters get deleted or at least are gone from that above query. But something similar comes back. If you bother to report, the response is always the usual SE canned response.

You just don't know what happen or what will happen or even when.

-----

For characters that continually harass you, ask for GM assistance, ask then they come 'invis'. That one time, this happened... well again, I have no idea what happened but that particular character never turned up again.

Ah, the title mislead me to think you wanted to blacklist any members working under a specific FC.

While we're on topic of free companies and blacklist, I'd love a feature to filter our all and any FC advertisement. My blacklist is full of FC leaders shouting for recruits. x_X It's as annoying as RMT tells.

You know what, take it even futher. We should be able to blacklist awhole another free company.

I don't know about you guys, but I've been running into some a-holes/trolls/leechers/looters in my server who are mostly from the same FC. They have too many members to fit in my BL (I clean it from RMTs from time to time). I've been trying to stay positive and think it's just few bad apples in that FC, but enough is enough.
