So..is this how it's going to be?

It appears that my post about players term definition got reported and deleted.

Interesting. Giving an opinion, trying to prevent peoples from freely insulting peoples that has nothing to do with what's going on in these forums, and having a non-aggressive arguement is prohibited apparently?

Kind of disapointed. I'll just stop posting on these forums if moderators delete constructive post but let the hate and rage thread going.

Thanks for deleting my post in a single click while i spent alot of time wording it properly and answering to everyone.

Now, i would at least like to have the reason why it got deleted, when threads like this one http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...estroy-elitism. keep going, even tho it's purely full of troll, pointless arguement and hate.

It probably had the word "idiot" in it too many times. If I remember correctly you implied that a few specific people belonged to that category. Not saying you were necessarily wrong in that judgement, but you had to know that would cause trouble.

I wrote that post and read yours as well, I actually agree with you you just had more characters somehow to type with than me XD.

Yeah I'm not sure why yours got canned and mine didn't. I agree though, the people who join and behave with an "I do things my way or no way" mentality and refuse to build themselves to me are the same thing as "Elitists" there are no differences, both put their own personal pride/gain against the party and disrupt it indefinitely.

I was wondering where that thread went. It was far more thought provoking than most of the other threads that have already devolved into a flat out troll fest.

That's disappointing. You were absolutely correct in calling out the careless way that people use certain terms and, although I disagreed with some nuance of your definition of elitism, I wanted to see where the discussion led. It's a shame.

I'm guessing - reactive policy. Your thread was reported and that one wasn't. Honestly, no game forum ever has a proactive deletion policy unless a thread has blatant violations of the forum CoC and/or guilelines right in the title. Though, just out of interest, how many people in this thread actually know what the CoC/guidelines contain?

Greetings,

Youmadesca, I have found myself forced to remove the thread due to numerous use of inappropriate language in your Original Post. I am sorry to see myself forced to do that, especially because the rest of the thread's flow was polite and quite interesting. While the rest of the thread was somewhat constructive and, honestly, built on pleasant conversations and debates, the use of the inappropriate language cannot be overlooked on FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn official forums. Please feel free to create a new post if you would like to continue discussions based on the same topic, but make sure that your post will not be in violation of any of the FINAL FANTASY® XIV Forum Guidelines, which can be found at the following link: http://support.na.square-enix.com/ru...la=1&tag=forum.

Thank you for your understanding and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Is there no way posts can be edited in response to something like this?

Flag a post that will be deleted if it isn't edited within a certain amount of time? The hyper moderation has a chilling effect on conversation.
