Why aren't 18+ ERP listings banned from PF?

Well, under the new ToS changes you can report for that sort of thing if folks are just barging into your house. ESPECIALLY if they're ERPing in there without your consent.

It's like asking lewd folks to get off your lawn.

I don't get it, what's wrong with getting a group together to do some enterprise resource planning??

Careful about this "whole" consent thing. Some people will act spiteful and will report you even if there was an agreement. They make it look like there wasn't any consent, but in reality, conversations happened—they're just upset they didn't get what they wanted from their interactions. Maybe asking the person in chat before doing anything is a better option than having no option at all. It should be something like "Do you agree or consent to the actions and content we are about to discuss?"

tl;dr Sign your consent forms before doing anything risky!

Just ask my wife.....



I'm glad they did explicitly mention erotic role play in the changes as it sets clear expectations for behavior in situations that aren't 100% completely private. I wouldn't be surprised if they considered ERPing in a stranger's unlocked house "public domain" for purposes of the owner or otherwise innocent visitors encountering unexpected/unwanted lewdness when going inside. I'd be VERY UPSET if I went into my house to see strangers getting it on. You can bet your sweet bippy that a report would be filed immediately. No, "You left it unlocked therefore you should expect strangers to be doing things in your house" is not an acceptable situation. Strangers sitting on my couch drinking tea and chatting is totally different from random naked people in my bath/shower/bed.

If you want a place to ERP, buy an apartment.

If I had a nickel for every time I walked into my house and found catgirls getting it down, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

I've never seen straight up "ERP" advertisements in PF. Is OP just assuming all RP postings are ERP?

The people that do EPR know it's clearly stated that it's "ok" as long as long as it's conducted in a private area. It even states this in the rules. Those people know it's not wise to advertise it on PF.

We're on the same world and I have CLEARLY seen ERP on the PF.

Eternally Resurrecting Primals is a major part of the game for people who like to farm group content for shiny mounts!

Because the devs are apparently cool with ERP.

It's only a problem if others are offended by it.
Guess it doesn't inherently violate 3.3 after all.

What is considered a private area though? I have my Mansion in the Mist set to allow visitors because I like reading the comments they leave in my Message Book, and I've had a few ocassions of repeated people ERPing inside thinking I was not online. Since per the ToS we do not own any of the game's assets, does random people ERPing in my Mansion in the Mist count as a private space even if I or any other person that comes visit can bump into them mid hot session in the Carbuncle Bathtub?

I don't care what you say, I am completely in favor of Elephant Runny Poo and will continue to advocate for it.

Eradicating Rude Potatoes is a national Eorzean pastime. I don't think it's going anywhere.
