In GM jail - no idea why

[Equitable_Remedy]

If you simply talk to people in this game you go to jail.

This is not true.

This is not true.

A hyperbole, that is. It's not entirely baseless.

It’s a hyperbole regularly touted on these forums as reality by people apparently incapable of being respectful to other people beyond “gg”.

I've played this game since ARR early access and have never once been put in a gaol or disciplined in any way. I talk in chat all the time, mostly in duties. Sometimes I even get irritated because yes I do have to explain for the 4th time in this one fight that they need to keep the bosses apart. Yet nothing has ever happened to me. One person even sent a screenshot proving they reported me. And yet, nothing.

People who get put in gaol break rules in some way. Surprisingly, it's actually pretty easy to not break the rules. Reading them is a start, and know what you are and aren't allowed to do. Don't use widespread ignorance to fuel some "talk, get banned" bogeyman.

Introverts rise up

But that means going out and doing stuff. Stuff sucks.

Nah, it doesn't.

Doing it with other people can suck though. That's why we're introverts.

If you simply swear near people in this game you go to jail.

Fixed it for you.

Square doesn't ban you for talking. Heck, square doesn't even ban you for harassing. You can be quite aggressive, publicly, for months on end without the gm's doing a single thing to try and stop the harassment and slander.

And yet, if you DARE say the F word around somebody, 3 day.

That’s not entirely accurate either. I genuinely have no idea what their criteria is because there’s someone I see at hunts who regularly ,not just drops f bombs, but aims them at people in /shout. I obviously can’t repeat what he says but imagine ableist slurs, racial slurs, misogynistic comments, always preceded with an effing. I’ve reported him and seemingly no punishment. He’s on every day so wasn’t suspended and he still swears and harasses people so unlikely he even got a warning if he’s not corrected his behaviour over the course of a year.

There’s definitely something shady behind the privacy policy.
