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

[Kaurhz]

Brevity.

Yes, it is a legal clause contained in there because their list of illicit and unacceptable activities is not extensive, nor inexhaustible. If they so wish, and if they so deem your behavior is inappropriate then they may warn, suspend, or terminate your account at their leisure. They shouldn't need to specify every activity they deem illicit otherwise they'd spend an eternity rewriting the Terms of Service, when it is abundantly clear that the vast majority of people don't even take the leisure to read them in the first place, despite the very fact they are held in accordance with this standard.

Adults have been integrated into society and the world for nigh on 20+ years with a wealth of world experience and exposure to understand why it is socially unacceptable behavior and the fact that people cannot see why is utterly baffling.

Even this very thread, the GM heading the warning abundantly stated "Please keep in mind the minimum age range when soliciting advertisements on the party finder" - As a paraphrase. I don't know about you, but that seemed abundantly, and unequivocally clear what they did wrong. - But people on this thread the OP themself were more insistent on trying to play the victim crusade. In this particular thread, the OP additionally went on a lovely little tirade of "Did Dalliances offend you, oh my!" - Ironically this shows the OP was fully cognizant of what was being advertised and the real meaning behind the word- Trying ever so hard to use a vague term in order to try and scapegoat out of the restrictions- Which also shows that they were fully and abundantly aware that being specific would have gotten them in trouble. So yeah, they were fully cognizant of their behavior from both the warning from the GM, and from their blatant crusade on this thread- Even prior to the warning itself.

People engaging in direct 1:1 ERP is more than likely not going to be reported, versus openly advertising the activity itself, which has very good visibility for a minor to view and access. 1:1 conversation exchanges are not. So in that regard, these 2 comparisons are not even remotely equivalent. You can argue about the semantics of broadness of the term Erotica all you like, and how it doesn't necessarily equate, but the fact the very definition itself states sexual desire or excitement in itself is reason enough. Now, if you go ahead and use public chat for ERP, then let me know how long it takes for you to get a strike on your account?

The problem here is, you'd ask them to clarify that ERP is explicitly against the terms of service with respect to advertisements, but then people will go from the crusade of no mention at all to the vagueness of the term until they end up with something so specific and so complex in written form that they're incapable of understanding it.
