Feedback Regarding GM Dorxenore (Further Review by Management Recommended)

[Clicked]

Lots of people in this thread thumping their chests about how tough they are that they can survive racy chat messages. Grats to you but no one cares and that's not the point. The reason public discourse is moderated is so that this does not a tasteless, smut-filled chat room like 4chan. If you want to create a linkshell or FC dedicated to that, go for it. But this is novice network. Context matters.

This GM is wrong and I really do hope that this is not truly the company's stance on this crap.

I have two T-shirts labeled:
-"I Have Survived Barrens Chat"
and
-"I have Survived Pornshire"

Some of us can handle it and are really numb to it by now.

Obviously you should employ some judgement as to when you think it is or is not appropriate to use naughty language, but the ESRB, PEGI, etc have no jurisdiction when it comes to what players do.

That is why in addition to the game's rating, we get the "online interactions are not rated" clause.

More often than not, no one is going to report you for using the f-word or posting a macro of a buff cat with a giant penis - it is still a risk, however. I am more in the camp that people shouldn't be penalized for language unless it is abusive or defamatory, but at the end of the day all of this is at SE's discretion.

Some of the NPCS and quests use cuss words or very vulgar language. There's an entire quest line around discussing a guy's length.

Wait, wait, wait...

So you've kicked someone from NN for saying the word 'futa'?

You know you are on Balmung, right?

I don’t think the GM has an issue with Eve reporting people for vulgarity or obscenity, the GM is just saying “Hey, when you kick people afterwards you’re actively trying to moderate the speech in Novice Network, and that’s not your job. Please feel free to report but then simply blacklist the person pending an investigation instead of taking things into your own hands and kicking the offender.”

Eve, please stop kicking people. You’re not a moderator or a GM. Please leave that stuff to the people who were actually given the authority to do so, which you were not.

As mentors we are given authority to kick players from the novice network.
If they didn't want us to moderate it, we wouldn't be able to kick in the first place.

They know the chat needs moderation, but they don't stipulate any rules or guidelines on what should be considered an offence worth a kick. So the logical conclusion would be to base it off the ToS, which we are doing.

Sure, some people can and will abuse this power.

Thank you to the 27 and counting people that show their support for this even though I didn't even post it in the right forum. Since there's so much interest and confusion, this may help a little for additional context:

And sharing it privately changes nothing since anyone you share this with can do anything with it. But nvm, harrassment CAN be reported, so you can do as you please.

This does not add on what is being discussed or showing if you really understand the situation to be commenting on it.
