Roleplay Party Finder Account Suspensions

[Metamorph]

All I can say is that I'm not even 100% convinced this has anything, and I mean ANYTHING to do with venues being (18+) and/or possibly hinting at 18+ related content. As of recent, the PFs are just being FLOODED with multiple venue ADs (which has become a norm when you're in an MMORPG with a high RPing community). But the fact that I've seen not 1, but 5 different venues ALL hosting over 5 PFs each?!

Like.... who in the heck needs over 5 PFs to let the community know "HEY WE'RE OPEN" or "WE'RE NOT OPEN TONIGHT BUT REMEMBER WE EXIST SO COME WHEN WE DO OPEN" over and over, back to back?!!? Two PFs should be enough to get the point across. If you're worried about a little "competition" don't spam your venue like a desperate attention gremlin! You're just giving yourself AND your venue a bad image and dragging EVERY other venue down with you!! I'm not going to mention any venue names, but a certain few need to tone it down a notch and realize the damage they're possibly doing and how it's affecting the RPing portion of the FFXIV community as a whole.

This...this so hard. I'm gonna bow out of the conversation now, mostly because I've made the points I wanted to. I think the general consensus is that the situation is kinda shenanigans.

That's not what this thread is about. While I don't disagree with you, this is about the suspension of individuals, tied to an 18+ venue (and more importantly those who were NOT) for advertisements posted in the party finder. A number of those affected are people who only had one or two advertisements, the number of advertisements listed has absolutely no consistency or tie to the problem stated in the thread.

Oh, I know exactly what this thread is about.
I apologize if my statement seems "out of topic", but I feel that it does still tie in with the wrongly pressed accusations towards the suspended individuals I am well associated with. I have known them for almost a year and can confirm (if not vouch) that the suspension is indeed unjustified. Not just towards them, but all those who have been suspended alongside them. Aside from the (18+), there was no "profanity" displayed on any PFs held last night. However, I simply wanted to get my 2 cents across the situation before bowing out as well. I hope this is all taken care of and made known.
