    Not saying I disagree with OP, but that GM could be merely stating SE's official stance on this matter. Yes the Novice Network was created with the intent of helping players, but that does not mean that GMs were instructed on a policy specifically for it. So they instead treat reports from it as if it was for any other chat channel.

    HOWEVER

    I must wonder why obscenities in any public channel are allowed. But I suppose it would depend on what OP considers obscene and he was not specific about what was said. If it was of a very vulgar, cruel, discriminatory or sexual nature, then I would be shocked if this was considered to be acceptable behaviour in a public channel. If this is the case then I hope that it's just this GM doing their job poorly rather than SE having a terrible stance on it.

    Please get off that high horse, friend.


    Balmung adheres to the same rules every other server does. Unfortunately as we have zero incoming new people NN acts as a huge social linkshell. Report, blacklist, and hope a warning will set people straight.

    If comments from past interactions with GMs are to be taken at face value.The guide lines that seems to be in place in this game is ignore and move on. While OP thinks they are on some great crusade to clean the channel. If the policy is filter and move on, they are just being a nuisance to the GMs. Ans the way SE has handled most issues in 14 as I don't have any personal knowledge the idea that blist and move on is probably as close to guide lines, as I doubt they actually have a real policy. Sure you might get the odd GM who takes a moment to slap someone around.

    Also from the comments from the GM amused me. It is basically when someone comes in again and again and complains. They get labeled and get vague promises to move them out the door. Their words literally have zero
    weight.

    Isn't an online game literally the TPO to have fun and say odd stuff. It is way better in discord on a crappy raid night. But it sure spills over into other channels. As long as no one is being discriminated against a little vulgar language is nothing. Specially considering what goes on in the background npcs in the game. I do prefer when people are more original being vulgar. But maybe they are having an off day

    Also were the comments just sexual in nature. Did they pass over some decency line? It is clear that adult conversations are allowed. If people want to type "(hot)(galka)(meat rod)(rear thrust)(do you need it?)" ffxi joke. It seems like that is ok
