Do you tease lalafells?

[Ranaku]

According to some people here I should be banned. I don't harass people ever, but making those horrible jokes in the first place is harassment according to some. I hate myself for continuing to be here.

You really don't want to understand it, huh?

I REALLY DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET THEIR ACCOUNT SUSPENDED FOR JOKES. BUT IF YOU JOKE TOO MUCH TOWARDS THE WRONG PEOPLE THEY MIGHT HIT THE REPORT BUTTON AND SEND YOUR ACCOUNT INTO THE DIGITAL OBLIVION!

You should get banned =/= You can get banned

I was merely telling people that they can get punished for this stuff if they push it too far which let us be fair many people do on a daily base. Just cause i tell you you can get punished for it cause rules doesn't mean i want that to happen. I just tell people that it is a risk and they might wake up someday with a not so neat email and their account being suspended.

Dunno if that is worth the joke but it's something everyone has to decide for their own. And it's not like SE just slaps people on the wirst and gives them a three days ban and that's it. The account if you get reported will be marked for lifetime and that means the next offenses might cause a termination of your account. Again that is nothing i want for other players since a joke, which you clearly don't understand since idk how often i wrote i don't want anyone to get banned for this, but it's a potential risk you take.

What harassment is and what a joke lies in the eye of the other party. And it seems you fail to understand this simple fact. Some people might be alright with hearing the same joke thousand times a day. Some might not be alright with that. Some might like a whisper telling them how delicious they look, i kinda don't like tall folk with a vore fetish on lalafell but everyone has their own kinks. And if you like to eat lalafell i mean sure, good for you, it's not what i would call a vanilla fetish but...yeah...

Gosh feels like i am talking to a vaulthry which is tripping on meol.

Edit: I mean in what world is "I commited crimes but i didn't got catched yet so i encourage others to do the same" a good thing. Maybe grow up, it's not that bad to give a shoot about others, try it out. Maybe you get some friends then and don't have to post such things on the forums.

I committed crimes by making bad jokes according to you. I hope you can be specific and tell me exactly what was offensive.

I don't try to enforce these rules, i just tell people that they exist. Dunno what problem you have with that. Do you feel guilty or something?

You should leave the moderation to the actual GM's, that's just my opinion though.

But that is exactly why NA is so full of trolls etc, cause they use "free speech" as a cover for toxicity. Which might be good or bad i don't judge about that here tbh. EU then is a bit different, some speech over here in many countries is prohibited by law, so people are a bit nicer to each other. And JP basically has no shout chat trolls and no unrest we see in NA or EU at all.

Both the EU and NA have trolls. What you are doing is pretending to be the law instead of admitting you are part of the problem.

1. There is a reason why the sentence was written with quotation marks. It's a analogy. Let's say you call a Elezen everyday a giraffe/dhamel. Let's say this is against the chat rules, just for this moment let us say it's not allowed. And people are alright with that joke, don't care. You never get "catched for your crime" basically. But that doesn't mean that someday someone might not take offense in stuff you say and report you. As i said it's a risk people should be aware of which leads to...

2. Telling people about the rules isn't moderation. I can tell you that you aren't allowed to drink hard alcohol in public and still not report you to the next cop. Some people actually appreciate to learn about the rules of the world they live in, especially cause SE don't really promotes these rules which leads to many people thinking that they are safe spamming holy in the hub and then getting banned for it. And yes i know a player personally which got banned for this. What you ask for is literally "Let the children put their finger into the power outlet, yeah they might die but they will learn it themself.". Which in my opinion is the most unsocial thing ever, how can you literally not care about people and tell them that they might risk their account?

3. Both NA and EU have trolls. 100%. Never denied that. Not at all. But there are reasons why EU is closer to JP culture than to NA. Just visit a hub on EU and on NA and on JP and look at the shout chat and you know exactly what i am talking about. I don't say that NA culture is wrong, not at all. Your absolute freedom of speech and that stuff and how every speech should be tolerated can be also good. Doesn't mean the game bends to these rules tho. SE makes the rules and it's a japanese company and thus stays in a bit of conflict with the culture of trolling and shitposting, which i said is also ok. But you play by the house rules not by your countries standards of "say whatever you want".

I’d like to think teasing is different from actual harassment. Because asking a lalafell, “do you need a step stool to hit the boss?” Is much different then accusing someone of being a pedo.

If someone asks me to stop, I always stop. I’m not going to go around making false reports and accusing people of criminal acts that’ll land them in federal prison.

Feel free to block me or ask me to stop if it offends you or you get annoyed by my bad jokes. Or even report me which will result in nothing as I am not breaking the TOS compared to the examples you listed.

Who exactly here was talking about you? Not sure why you seem to take everyone's bad lala experiences like you're personally responsible. My point was just that there's a lot of animosity towards lala players. I don't personally like the teasing either. I don't know you and I sure don't want the first comment from a stranger to be them teasing me for playing a race they like to joke about, no matter how lighthearted it is. I think it all contributes to the animosity towards lalas and people shouldn't stand for it. I'm not going to get you banned for it, but keep the jokes to you and your friends and you'll have no worries of people reporting you. There's a lot of races I don't like in the game and I sure as hell don't go publicly berating them.

Dare to make jokes about my god. This is offensive >: (


OnTopic: Is it ok to /pet lalafells? >: )

[Stormfur]

I pet and hug lalafells. Hrothgar too <3

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

tbh not a fan of lalafell at all used to be one and don't plan to ever go back to one. It's like being a child during a war lol

[Awha]

Oh really? What's this then?

Sorry all I see is a stubby runt.

[Fourbestintoner]

I say far worse things to those literal cultists.

[Awha]

This is harassment, please report them as this isn't a joke. This is disgusting behavior.

This is a perfect example of people not understanding a light hearted joke VS. actual harassment. This is why, I will never return to the forums people can't tell the difference. I had the page open and I regret it and can't stop myself from commenting. Thank god for GM's who can actually look at conversations.

Context matters so yes while maybe to one GM it would be seen as a violation of the rules the truth is based off wording alone a GM could find many actions as a violation based off their interruption and understanding of the situation.

End of the day context behind the comment should always be taken into consideration. Though I do get how this might not sit well within todays climate. SE already provides people the tools to avoid further incidents when it comes to such things. Sure we migjt have outliers and that is when harsher action must be taken but a simple off color or not PC joke that can easily be sloved with black listing seems like a waste of GM time imo.
