In the end I get where you are coming from but personally I do not think it is that major of an issue to go with the scorched earth approach. Combating RMT and trying to protect children is noble but when the steps used to protect them start to inconvenience legit players then I say it is too much. Like I said I am not an RPer but they should have every right to use the other tab to promote their own style of play and content. Does that mean I am in favor of erp advertising? No, but purging all to or custom messages is overkill. It is akin to pop feast chat. Sure it was toxic at times but removing the ability to chat just incovenced legit players those wishing to be toxic still found a way. Same will be done with the erp and RMT. They will find a way and barely be phased by it. Those who were using it in a non malicious manner are the ones that will feel it the most. Sure they can and would adapt but why should they.

Overall I get the stance of protect the children but that is not the job of the community. They put their age restrictions if someone is willing to lie about their age in a video game so be it. That should be a problem for the child and their parents if something negative comes about their lying.
