    Given that posters have been banned for far less, I'd suggest that anybody advocating for illegal content to be embraced should receive a forum ban at the very least. Beyond that, as I've suggested elsewhere a greater presence on the part of our community representatives would arguably help deter the presence of discussion threads such as this one that go completely off of the rails.

    FFXIV is a fun game and I enjoy playing it for the most part. It's not perfect and I certainly have my beef with it from time to time but unless it drops the ball with Endwalker I'm very likely to continue playing it for as long as it maintains my interest. With that in mind, I'd rather not see the game itself suffer because of a vocal minority of players becoming so brazen that they feel the need to actively promote things that they have agreed not to do.

    Perhaps nothing will happen, though without going too deep into the debate there's proposals in some countries to tie people's online activities to their finances and other aspects of their lives.

    Whether that actually manifests remains to be seen, of course, but stranger things have happened and I feel it is important for people to think ahead!

    That's an interesting perspective. So, for example, if I were to raise a deeply controversial opinion or threat or say something just plain awful to someone - and I naturally assume anyone who is opposed to whatever I may say - could easily track down my real identity, work, address, bank, etc.

    Akin to how you can easily look up someone on Facebook and see who they interact with, where they work, etc.

    I've heard it mentioned beforehand but I didn't expect it be done. But who knows.

    First I do not think anyone was pro hyper realistic art for the record. Second a crusade agaisnt those that are in favor of not punishing individuals simply for existing. It is unfortunate that somene is attracted to children and if that person can use hentai or game characters to help them from physically harming a child or themselves I am all for it.

    If that makes me a pedo defender or horrible person so be it I am already a freak / idiot by most peoples standards anyways.

    I am big on innocent until proven guilty and I do not think having hentai or game characters is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime regarding CP so if it is not a good enough metric for the law our agreed upon rules why should it be good enough to witch hunt?
