Roleplay Party Finder Account Suspensions

[Hyla_Featherfoot]

I lurked the last time this happened, but didn't that end up being one single GM on some weird crusade? I can't help but wonder if the same thing is happening again. Whatever the case, this action needs to be corrected ASAP and whoever submitted the reports in the first place should probably be investigated for abusing the function. As others have quoted in the thread already, this sort of usage of the Party Finder's Other tab is explicitly allowed according to the recent TOS update. It also looks like people were suspended who did not use "18+" or similar terms in their PF listings, so that strawman is out the window.

It's the same GM as last time, yes. Which is why a lot of people are (understandably) frustrated.
EDIT: And yes, last time it had nothing to do with 18+ anything.
The venues in question in the past (as well as at least one banned last night) were not 18+ venues at all.
I still think this is a personal vendetta or grudge that this GM has and I hope that he's pulled aside by his supervisor.
I'm echoing the statement made earlier that, if this has happened to you, then appeal it.
RPers are a part of this game, he can get over it.

Assuming this is true (after all this is the internet), perhaps SE should review whether this GM should remain employed after doing this again. I know that if I caused my company to feel it necessary to issue a public statement to address my indiscretions, and then later repeated my actions, I would almost certainly be fired.

I do wonder how that poor fisherman looking for a friend is doing these days.
