Thank you to the moderators

[Eorzean_username]

pointing out how awful you think they are is NOT going to make them want to be more consistent.

Neither will anything else XD

If someone's reaction to people being annoyed that they consistently do their job poorly over a prolonged period of time... is to cross their arms, sit down, and say, "Fine! Then I won't do my job at all!" ... then, er... I can't say I have much sympathy.

That said, because this is Square-Enix, it's probably best to start with the assumption that the moderators "want" to do their job well, but are hamstrung by some combination of being understaffed, underpaid, operating under a ridiculous amount of bureaucratic overhead and regulations, or otherwise just being hampered by all the usual convolutions that service-level employees are subjected to in, or when employed by, large corporations... especially large Japanese corporations, where it probably requires an entire Shadowbringers-length questline just to ask a supervisor a question.

EXACTLY. Face it, everyone would have more fun without those bad apples, everyone would be at ease to be themselves without worrying about the same four/five bitter people.

I agree. Someone said it was a dozen or so people causing problems but honestly I think its around four or five people total, who hate the game but refuse to stop playing it and/or paying for it and move on to a new hobby.

Thats why honestly SE should be made aware of this outside of this forum for something to actually start changing because it is becoming shameful how this place is handled.

Funny thing is I bet theres plenty of players who would moderate it for free.

[ChrisRedfield2]

I'm glad the moderators got rid of a thread naming and shaming people.

Now let's spend the next page and a half passive aggressively talking circles around talking about a specific person, now *that's* the FFXIV way.

Lmao they literally don't realize they're just as bad as me

[ChrisRedfield2]

Please keep making these threads they're so funny

[Hurlstone]

Its nice to see some action being taken, even if we really need much more direct action taken moderation. I get that trolling will always be a thing on forums like this, but it has turned very vicious and vindictive of late, from actively targeting users with sick insults, not to mention the constant use of LGBTQ+ issues as a shield to stoke the angry in almost ever viewpoint. Its sad because this could be a great community hub, but this just hurt everyone involved outside of a few immature edge lords.

For better or worse, y'all need to consider that making threads such as these only serve to encourage the behavior more than it does anything else,

I mean you are right...chris redfield is an alt of the troll. This thread while nice does feed their weird ego they have going on.

The behavior honestly is already so out of control, I don't think this thread's presence will influence the types of threads being made by antagonistic posters. But it is nice to see how many people here have really just had enough, and it's encouraging to see at least some small steps to rectifying it.

I'll continue with my reporting where I feel it is appropriate.

Perhaps, but this thread is actually about the rest of us enjoying the forums.

They can do the opposite. I got banned here before for some name I called someone (not a slur or anything, just like profanity) but didn't get banned from the game.

I got a suspension from the forums because I told someone that no one gave a flying (rhymes with truck) about their ultimate clears. Yet that person kept on trolling, and calling people who didn't clear ultimates trash and insulting them non-stop, didn't get anything done to them.
