Abuse of the( backslash E m command)

I think she is talking about people creating images that can go around the filter process, now while people who turn it off know what to expect, but those who leave the filter on expect for certain things to be censored and with macros they can bypass this and show images that are not for people under 18, it's a ban able offense had to do that to a guy during a ark run

Please. Try it. I would LOVE to see how far you get.

Who are you even going to report? Square Enix? It has already been firmly established that Square Enix is not responsible for the behavior of its users - not even in the case of targeted bullying and harassment. Their community managers and game masters provide protection from that as a service which is part of the subscription to this game. And if you plan to report the users, you should know that S-E has no obligation to law enforcement unless it is clear that a law is being broken - i.e., transmission of links to actual child pornography, or sexually preying on someone known to be a minor, conspiring for murder, etc. Somebody says the word "muffdiving" in chat, it's not everyone else's duty to censor the word so your child doesn't see it.

And on that note? The game is rated T, for Teen. That means the ESRB has deemed it appropriate for people age 13 and up. That means if your child is under 13, they shouldn't even be playing it. If your kid is 13 or over, I guarantee he or she knows more about sex than you think, and is far, far, FAR smarter than you realize. There are dozens of instances of subtle and not-so-subtle innuendo from NPC interactions that your kid has not only already seen, but understood. The only reason you're afraid for them is that you're afraid of what it means that they're growing up and that you can't protect them from everything anymore.

Or maybe you're just too lazy to talk with the kid about this stuff. Protip: if you don't, someone else will.

Ok, something must seriously be bothering these guys… So much so that they’ve mysteriously vanished after kicking the proverbial hornets’ nest. Can a mod please just close this?

Go for it? CPS will ask two questions first. \\\\'How do you know the people in the screen shot are underage?\\\\' And Second \\\\'why are you subjecting your children to content you understand to be sexual or explicit in nature?\\\\' Ultimately it is up to us to monitor what our kids watch, play, or read.

I don't see the big deal? I've been playing online games since I was 11. All sorts of people have said they were going to do incredibly explicit things to me, my corpse, my mother, and her corpse. I was never disturbed by it, and I am not damaged from it. It's just online talk.

If custom emotes bother you, there is an option in the chat box settings to turn them off so they don't display for you. I did that day one, and have never regretted it.

Chances are the underage audience you want to prevent from seeing this kind of behaviour is the people doing it.
