So yesterday, I made a thread in the General Discussion forums showing that Cloud Strife made it into the current Super Smash Bros and congratulated SE for getting a character in. Come today, I receive an email telling me that the thread was deleted for not pertaining to XIV and was in violation of the User Agreement...

I guess SE only wants threads that are player suggestions and concerns they'll just ignore, rants that will spiral out of control, and silly, little ideas that they'll actually reply to. I apologize for trying to socialize on the threads, inform people who might be interested, and/or being excited that two game franchises I like are collaborating together.

(Note, this doesn't effect my XIV experience in any way but it certainly effects my outlook on these forums and those who run them...)
