Prohibit PF listings that intentionally use the wrong content listing

We've all seen the PF listings where someone is using Expert Roulette or Lakshmi EX to advertise their clear selling or advertising their FC or their Discord why is this allowed? The way PF is designed is to show certain kinds of content first and mislisting stuff is bypassing the devs intentions of PF sorting in a specific way yet day after day I'm the same people purposely mislist stuff under Lakshmi EX and Expert Roulette I know for a fact several of these listings have been reported, why aren't they being held accountable by the GMs and being made to list their stuff correctly?

I wonder if they do it for the same reason that you posted this in general discussion instead of the User Interface forum ?

Pretty much as above, they spam to get attention for the same reason that you are Mr OP.

I appreciate your sentiment, but it's opening up a whole can of collateral worms that you seem to be ignoring in your crusade to stamp out one rather minor annoyance. There are far better ways to tackle RMT than this.

I was at least hoping you would have screencap proof here. Instead you strike with "We've all seen it!" I haven't. Haven't really looked either which is why I would hope you'd provide the evidence here.

Theres not really anyway to stop this without GMs having to police the PF constantly. No way this is happening, just have to deal with it.

If I posted this in the wrong area I sincerely apologize, would it go in the UI forum even though I'm not proposing a UI change?

You're able to read? Then don't just read the title of a pf entry but the description too.
It's a very minor annoyance and I'd rather see dev time spent elsewhere.

Not asking the devs to spend any time, if people are abusing PF I think its a GM issue.

If it doesn't pertain to you why does it matter honesty? I don't like ads on my YT videos. Doesn't mean I'm gonna try to boycott them simply because they exist and I don't like them. Especially if they aren't against the ToS in any way shape or form.

GM's already stated you can't do anything about it. It's part of the game and forcing people to stop makes them lose a ''ability'' to do something that is indeed intended to be used like this. Nothing you can do about it.

Report them for RMT and move along.

Unlike the other thread where you were pretty clear on what you were against, I'm not quite sure what your issue is here. Let's just say that the devs do decide to go on this manhunt for mislisted PFs...what happens when players make or overlook a simple mistake. Should their PF be automatically removed? Should their accounts be suspended? Permabanned? Do you have proof that they are intentionally mislisting the content? Have you been inside their actual PFs, or made contact with them to get the proof you would need to prove any wrong-doing? You would need proof before you can go on a crusade of any kind.

To add to this: at what point is a PF wrongfully listed? I'm asking because today I saw a PF for Shinryu EX that was actually a static recrutment - but! that static was also looking to do Shinryu, according to their description. So... was that a wrong listing or not?

Depends which way you look at it. Maybe the FC is a raid Fc, so they drop it in with the raids. Until SE makes a proper recruitment system or a place where ppl can recruit this will continue.
All it would take is for SE to add a "looking for FC online status" and/or a section in PF specifically for recruitment.

As for people selling clears it's still associated with raids, so I see no problem with it in the raids section.
