Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

R shows them kissing and maybe a bit of nudity.

Titanic was released in 1998 and has nudity AND kissing.

And is rated PG-13.

And it stops there. Clearly, my annotation of ratings wasn't precisely complete. PG-13 is a stepping ground between PG and R.

Yet none of it is against ToS from what me and many others are seeing.

Actually:

Terms of Service Section 10: Community Guidelines.

You must not use the Services to distribute any content that is obscene, pornographic, defamatory, hateful, or illegal, or that violates the intellectual property rights or other rights of any person or entity.


So yes, using party finder or /shout is indeed against Community Guidelines.

No idea where you guys seem to think ERP is not against community guidelines.

But where is it against the guidelines for a fisher to use PF to find other people to fish with?

I think people are just shocked it's taken so long for anything to be done about it. Like why come down on it after 4+ years of this? I agree it's against the guidelines, but how... how did IT TAKE SO LONG!?

Hey all, there's been a development to this event. The player who made the GM report that caused all this has shared the details of the report:

Wow, what a self important bunch of nonesense. "It just keeps getting bigger!" Like if people do RP he doesn't like its some existential crisis. Don't get how people can be so obsessed with what other adults are doing for fun seriously.

The beehive never explicitly states it's a strip club. In fact it heavily implies it's a dance club. SO yes, you're in fact in the wrong here. Brothels do in fact deserve banning if mentioned in public chat channels. Keep that to your own linkshells and out of public chat channels. That can and is getting you banned. Not having it, but advertising it in public chat channels which is against ToS.

There are literally pleasure barges with sex slaves. I do not know how everyone has missed the rdm job quest.

Sounds like someone got rejected and got bitter.

I've been disheartened by the amount of posts here denigrating the RP community. I'm heavily involved in that community. Some of the best people I've met in this game have stemmed from the RP community. It breaks my heart that so many of you would seek to ruin our community just because you don't engage in that type of play. Who made you judge and jury to tell us how to play a massive multiplayer online role playing game? Are you seriously suggesting that the only content out there is raiding? Raiding stresses me out personally, that's why I opt for the RP - I lose myself, reality is painful for some and they use it as an escape. If I didn't have my group of friends, I would be lonely - I'm already suffering from anxiety and depression before any of it. RP breathes life into me. Why do you seek to take that away from us? Why does what happens between 2 consenting adults bother you so much? What is it your business if a club advertises in OTHER, when you have your own section for Duty Completion. You know you can filter those out by clicking a button right? You know I'm right. But instead of acknowledging this simple truth, you CHOOSE to click OTHER because you're too lazy to click on "Trials" "High End Duty". You have an axe to grind. Plain and simple. (I double checked the functionality, advertisements to not show up under those tabs.) You choose OTHER and think to yourself "Wonder what these degenerates are up to today?" I personally hope that SE reprimands this GM and issues a massive apology to the RP Community. You shouldn't have to log on to FFXIV and fear for your account b/c you want to play the game a different way than someone else.

And it stops there.

Does it though?
