RP Party finders being reported AGAIN without so much as a reason.

Being specific could identify the reporter, because it will probably jog your memory to who was involved and then you might be upset at them. Sometimes the reporter will even be obvious despite that, so they advise the reporter to blacklist in case.

For an advert an exception could be made, because there isn't a way to know who reported these.

I think enough information was provided though. Reminding you about the age rating of the game indicates that they thought the event was, in all reasonable likelihood, inappropriate.

Specifics should be provided on a platform you pay to use. Full stop.

If you figure out who the reporter is, and then harass them, the GM's should then be pulled back to do their job again. It's not like GM's don't have the capability to deal with the situation if it's properly brought to their attention. And they're there for some reason, even if going after PF RP adverts while letting that one dude shout all kinds of obscenities in Novice Network on Aether seems to take precedence for... whatever reason. Unless they finally dealt with him, lol.

This level of ambiguity is stupid. Almost intolerably stupid.

As for the content of the ads; removing [18+] won't do anything if people think it will. It'll be the exact same event, just without the tag attached to it. It's kind of a moot point, and the only lesson here is: run your 18+ event, just don't say it's 18+ lol

This game is rated T for Teen which the ESRB rates as 13+ so unless SE wants to get into a situation where an RP event turns into an ERP (which eventually it does) and its found out that there was someone underaged who participated, legal action may ensue. I have noticed an influx of casinos, "specialty" venues and even multiple alts, as of late and limsa is starting to become questionable at peak times. Imo they need to reduce the character limit from 40 to 8 per account to curtail excessive bots/alts/RMT/PF ads, but that's a different topic all together. However I'm not sure why RP are being targeted when Yoshi promotes RP but I guess you lie in the bed you made.

You missed the point by a mile.

Either way, a plethora of MMO's have existed before XIV, and one with a much worse scene that's pretty much infamous outside of the game. I can't even think of a single legal case brought forth, and the times I can think about for when police did investigate that area of the game to prevent child involvement... nothing came of it. I still firmly believe people should be allowed to attach an age bracket to an event they're having, regardless of whether or not explicit content is involved. If there is who cares, and if you care, get a grip and touch some grass.

Compared to other issues that are allowed to propagate in the game comparatively, it's stupid that this is a focus. Especially when FC's are more or less publicly advertising via existing with a tag, and there's hundreds of those that're just as (if not more) explicit in their blurbs.

All this kind of moderating really does is add thinner eggshells to the floor to walk on, to where this game barely has any in-game community to begin with.
