◆Offensive expression
"Offensive expression" means an expression in general that inflicts emotional distress by being offensive to another person. Offensive expression may include:

・Aggressive expressions such as violent language/slander/insult/threat.
・Expressions that provoke or belittle another person, such as excessive criticism, negation/ridicule
・Expressions that significantly lack consideration for another person
・Expressions that unilaterally reject another person's opinion
・Expressions that any reasonable person would find offensive
・Expressions that compel a playing style
・Expressions that attempt to unilaterally exclude someone from the game or content/community, etc.
(Except when in accordance with rules set by an administrator such as a Free Company Master)
・Expressions that contravene public order and morals
・Other expressions that are offensive to another person

Is that section new? Does it ("that compel a playing style") include comments about 0 dps healers in lvl 70 content (observable by them AFKing and casting a heal here and there) or PUGs causing a wipe by messing up mechanics they've seen countless times?

Edit #1:

With these rules, is SE going to finally start punishing players who intentionally pull S ranks early who did not help spawn nor find the S rank and who only came because the S ranks were publicly called? Early S rank puller most definitely fall under nuisance behavior.

No, for the simple reason that "early pulling" is a relative term. It could be said those that spawn a hunt before its max cd has passed are being a nuisance to players who were waiting for an agreed upon time.

Edit #2:

Feel free to let us know if there are certain topics you would like us to improve upon.

1. Player bots (not to be confused with the common bots with gibberish names that are routinely cleaned up) that have been reported to the STF numerous times but are still active for months or even years. Suggested solutions: A quicker reporting function similar to the one used for RMT chat bots and an update to rules regarding how GMs can act against bots

2. Players have been advertising RMT services in the Cross-World Party Finder but nothing is being done because they conduct communication outside of the game. Suggested solutions: Update the ToS to prohibit such listings or enable blacklisting that completely hides parties (currently, blacklisting only darkens the listing)
