Purge ERP from this game!

[CaptainDillweed]

I'm not being disingenuous at all. Youre just avoiding the question. They made a point to stay to mature spaces. I made a point that mature spaces doesn't guarantee anything which is a FACT. They won't protect you from anything and the same outcome will come about.

I challenge every last one of you crusaders to report each and every erper you see from this day forward and see how many of them get their accounts banned. If you truly stand by this notion that it has no place in xiv I'll respect it so long as youre doing your part to get it out of the game.

I've answered your "question". Did you even read my post? No, it won't protect you, which is why you are still responsible for doing your due diligence to avoid that situation. Not diving in, consequences be damned because it may or may not happen.

As I've said in the other thread, I really do not give a shit one way or the other if two consenting adults want to pretend to be catgirls and get freaky in private. The key word there being "adults". Why is it such an impossible ask to just take responsibility for yourself before diving into what could be a compromising situation? It's that laissez-faire attitude towards the fact that younger people do play this game that I take issue with. Just as ERPers have the right to play this game, so do people aged 13+, just as the game is rated.

Take responsibility in WHAT WAY?!?!? Simply advertising as 18+ ain't enough for folks here clearly. And outside of that there is literally no other way to insure anything. You're talking in circles with no actual solution.

Most here (from what I've read) aren't just hopping in and erping nor do any seems to be trying to meet minors. I think erp in most cases is as responsible as it can be. And the public stuff that's seen gets handled accordingly

Get proof of age, maybe? You would get carded at a strip club, why not at least try for some sort of equivalent and exercise your best judgment based on the response? I'm not accusing anyone of trying to meet minors, I'm saying that those engaging in ERP should take steps to cover themselves in case they get put in that kind of situation, and any sort of effort whatsoever put in to verifying is better than "well if they lie about their age oh well".

Get proof of age...so you honestly expect players to show other players ID cards...even just showing a date of birth isn't fail proof because it could easily be someone else's ID. So it can still come down to being lied to. Being real here that seems more an invasion of privacy if anything.

And do you truly think folks dont already feel folks out by talking to them before they engage? I highly doubt people just see miqos and go "I begin to carress your hair" my dude. Come on now.

Personally I say if you have an issue with how folks conduct themselves while not being able to give a real solution it's time to put your focus elsewhere.
