Exactly how harsh are the chat rules?

[Vav2021]

Calling somebody a child is enough to warrant a ban.

never, ever, EVER! direct anything towards anybody in the game or they will report you for it like the snowflakes they are.

Been banned twice for what i would consider normal language in Australia.

I'm upset to say that I've seen some folks in the thread that rather alarm me, because they seem to fit that criteria. I'll quote one of their message, but I won't put them in the spotlight, where they said

people were teabagging others in PvP or spam laugh I wouldn't concider that as harmless it's pretty insulting and infuriating in an already frustrating situation.

I am going to assume that they don't represent the majority of the community, but that someone would consider emotes "not harmless" because it causes frustration, and worthy of punishment is disturbing.

Edit 1: Specification to avoid blanket statement.
Edit 2: To make this message.

bottom line is, if you cannot refrain from insulting others, or affording another human being basic respect that everyone deserves... then say nothing.

its not rocket science. the community is what it is, quite a lot of different people all on the same server. you are going to get all types. if you have played online games before, then I am positive you are aware of this. but they do enforce some rules, so always best to at least attempt to follow them. this isnt the wild west.

I'm not one to treat people like crap. There's certain things I do and don't agree with, but I tend to be respectable about it, and seldom ever discuss them.... because, well, there's no point to do so. With that being said, I'm respectable and I don't cause trouble.

Still and yet, there's some things that just raise my eyebrows is all.

I would also like to add know your audience.

I'm in an FC with a bunch of current and ex military members and military brats. We have a very colorful FC chat. We don't invite people to it unless someone can vouch for them because if we would invite just about anyone and they saw what our chat contained, we'd all be long gone.

I come from a military family. Tell them I said "thank you for your service." It's always good to have friends you can safely shoot the shinola with.

Wait what? Where did I even remotely say that emotes warrant a report and ban? All I did was explain the reasoning for people to do that. You're putting words in my mouth here. Teabagging an opponent isn't exactly a civil behavior and frustrates people even more which increases the likehood of them to report you for that. It's easy as that.

In fact I have never in all my years of FFXIV reported anyone for foul language or emoting, outside of RMT I only reported one person so far and believe me that was a good reason. Just to make that clear.

Hit a nerve? I rest my case.

Cope more love. <3
