Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

if only the task force was more like this:

[tocsin]

but we have this. (snipped)

Guys, please. We are trying to be serious here, and posting rude and tasteless photos of the mentally ill does not give this any help.

Guys, please. We are trying to be serious here, and posting rude and tasteless photos of the mentally ill does not give this any help.

I seen the picture, no way shape or form did this guy make fun of Mentally ILL people.

You calling those people in the picture mentally ILL should of gotten you banned not this guy, he was just saying we had 3 task force quoting post #317 the 3 characters are youtube people, the only thing he said was "But we have this" Can you show me exactly where he was making fun of people?

I also seen someone defend him, that person was banned also?

Sorry it took me so long to post I was on vacation after he posted this, you are in the wrong he was in the right, I don't see anyone else getting banned for their pictures or going off topic in this thread.

Even you saying you were drunk but you are still here that's not even on topic I find this very odd.

He explained he is banned perm that SE said he was a threat to the community that guy has helped more people in FFXI and every other game he has played, sorry but you guys have no right to state such a claim in a email like that bad choice of words.

You expect good things to be said to you, you should extend the same back even if you ban someone.

That's all have to say thanks.

I had also been lurking at that point with a friend, and Tocsin was quite correct when he posted that. If i recall, the people posted in the (deleted) post had down syndrome, or another illness of the sort. There were actually around 12 different pictures that were deleted, around that time. the only one that wasnt was the one that was potentially tasteful (you can attempt to jump to the quoted thread by clicking the little arrows next to the username). At that point in the thread, it had borderline derailed into nothing but making fun of the task force. All of the posts doing so were deleted, as breaking the simple rule of creating a negative view of the community. I personally also found the pictures tasteless, and both those pictures, as well as an entire thread doing such were deleted at the time.

I'm not sure why you are necroing posts that are literally hundreds of posts in the past, but please understand, there were some BAD people in the thread trying to make a mockery of it. A lot of people have been banned in this thread. I actually PMed tocsin about this, and he himself is banned for another day or so for posting about this issue. SE is noticing this, but the only action they are taking is banning the ones complaining about it.

Sorry but you are wrong.

First off like I said before, he did not make fun of the people inside that picture nor did he say anything bad, matter of fact he said he was sticking up for SE with the picture "Feel our wrath" said since everyone has been giving them a hard time for only being three members against a army of RMT.

Also is that what you think of people? I don't know what you or him think about that 3rd kid but I actually don't judge him from his disability he's a person like everyone else, if the photo is online then he must not be ashamed of himself and has the courage to do so while others look down upon him knocking people like him all over the world down when they are just like everyone else people.

I have a disability also guess what, he actually stuck up for me and called a GM in game because I am very slow at getting things he has helped me and any GM could go look if they wanted and you will see what kind of guy he is never judge a book by its cover.

I ain't saying anything bad towards you guys but I believe you guys made a huge mistake.

I did notice the others were banned and for dumb reasons also, I believe the power should not be up to the community because I have seen bait traps, I never posted up until now because I notice SE lets everyone run the forums with the report button.

once someone doesn't like what you say or do and or you do something that bugs or makes them hate you, you end up getting banned.

We had a talk before in the company he said he was banned for saying the word Lazy and im not aiming that word at anyone so please don't ban me

Although a lot of these ways of reducing RMT might not work in the long run, I signed this mainly in the hope that SE Would at least make some sort of response, any response at all, about the issue.

I don't even care about it for myself (Pink backgrounds on the chat log are an okay color scheme) but I care about it driving away potential new players.

They have little reason to do anything about it. AS the community has shown to be complacent, which one of you is willing to unsub over this matter? Unless they loose financially its not worth it for them to get a hand on the matter.

It isn't so much over us unsubscribing, as it is affecting NEW PLAYERS trying out this MMO in a VERY competitive MMO market where other companies have RMT under control. They expect a small spattering of RMT, but like I said earlier, they are getting a giant wall of spam before they even get out of the very first cutscene. News Flash: MMO's that do not have a stream of new players coming in, get stale and stagnant.

What can they do though?
