Again you say "the past year" but the prohibited activities file was updated ~2 months and 3 weeks ago. That is when you should have paid very close attention to the rule section I indicated.

That said, this is really not something that is mysterious to any long time resident of Balmung. Anyone who has a search comment for a particularly x-rated RP website whose name I won't mention simply has a "c" in their search info, because putting the full URL can get them banned. It has been this way for years. It is common knowledge on Balmung, and the RPers here who have a page on that website do it out of self defense. It is openly known that doing otherwise can get you banned.

If everyone on Balmung using that site knows how to protect themselves, then it behooves you as the operator of a serious RP venue to follow suit, or to at least be able to jump over the same bar as your average illicit RPer.

The rules apply to you. They updated the rules, and then applied them. You have the rules right in front of you, crystal clear. I copy/pasted the section and pointed to it, with helpful underlines.

They dinged you because of that. They're not gonna waste even a minute trying to explain it to you, or argue with you, because it is not in a corporation's interest at all to enter into a debate with a user. They simply set a GM on you to enforce the clearly written rules. The end.

Seriously, read the P.A. file's definition of ERP. A person running a venue such as yours should take SE's definition as a huge red flag.
