But the thing is, it's not any sort of verifiable proof to a GM that anyone is using a third party program. If you say "Don't let people use this term in their search" then that doesn't make any sense because it's a valid place name in the game. Whatever the alternate meaning may be in the community, the GMs need something concrete to act on. Because it is a valid place in XIV so there is the chance someone could be using it for another reason.

The only way they would know it was mods was if they checked what was on our PCs and Yoshi-P has already said they are against putting in anything like that. Hence the, "don't ask, don't tell" viewpoint they have about third party tools.
