That ToS update that ruffled some jimmies a few months ago

[Barraind]

In light of the enlightening display this last weekend of what enforcement of "we can ban you if you offend anyone" clauses in ToS' can bring, would anyone still like to argue the side of "no company will ban you for offending someone"?

inb4 "Bans are always justified" and "Don't be a jerk and you won't get banned" responds

Don't be a jerk and you won't get banned

[LaylaTsarra]

Don't be a jerk and you won't get banned

Exactly because companies run around banning people for no reason from the typical other side of the argument.

Don't be a jerk and you won't get banned

Some people didn't get the memo that "being a jerk" isn't something universally objective and it's completely subjective

"You disagree with me?!? You're a jerk!"

Don't be a jerk and you won't get banned

Unfortunately that isn't at all how it works. There's almost always a subversive element to strict rules and regulations as sinister individuals and groups figure out how best to exploit it for their own gain/silence people they do not like. Sometimes you can even see certain posters deliberately following posters across threads in an effort to rile them up. They never technically break the rules, though they will make an effort to frustrate and irritate their target. Over time, it may very well lead to their target to slip up and get hit with a ban hammer for a post made in the heat of the moment or, worse yet, taken out of context.

It's funny that measures are taken so that the snowflakes don't cry but then you see bots camp out all over the main cities as if this were a Free to Play.

Those rules would be fairer if this game weren't full of edgy children, passive-aggressive people and other characters that one tries to avoid at all costs so as not to enter into absurd discussions.

No that's just being immature.

Don't post, say or act in a manner that might put you in a bad situation. Walk away from it or don't say anything.

In-game.. the environment is not hostile. The forum though is hostile and seems all SE did was adapt the forum rules to the game's ToS. A lot of posters here think they are clever with thier wording, but I see the BS underneath. If the rules were loose here, there would be profanity everywhere, thread hijacking and even witch hunting that sprawls out into the game, not to mention the hardcore group that has yet figured out that beating a savage boss glaringly the only then they can do right in a social setting. I can FEEL the superiority complex among many here.
