[Midareyukki]

First off, prove it. Second, no it's not, a PF lead can remove a person from their party for ANY reason

Would this help?

What you're looking for is the part that says "・Expressions that attempt to unilaterally exclude someone from the game or content/community, etc."
There are others that tangentially rub on the topic as well. Such as "・Unjustified usage of Vote Dismiss".
There's also "■Behavior that disrupts the game balance" which is basically a repeat of the TOS's Section 2 and includes a mention to stuff that operates like parsers, which take game data without being authorized.

You also have Section 2 of the TOS, titled "LICENSE LIMITATIONS", for general approach to any third party tool or modification of the game's code or assets: No.
Section 10 and 11.3 say that user disputes will not be mediated between Square, they expect you to be a grown-up and figure yourselves out. But Section 3.2 is really vague in that it kind of reads like "if you interfere with peoples' enjoyment of the game at all, it can be considered an offence"?

3.2 Disruption. You may not in any way disrupt or interfere with the Game experience of other players, including the disruption of Square Enix's computers and servers.

it's weird. This one's weird. [edited:]

Section 3.2 mostly deals with cases where you get stalked or disrupted while you're out playing the game normally. Say having numerous people hounding all over your screen if you happen to be a popular streamer of the asmonbald kind, barring you from interacting to npcs or points of interest.

Okay so it's actual disruption and not "The party couldn't clear X content, we disband, but some stooge wanted to continue and he can argue that I impeded his prog somehow". Alright then.
