Account Penalties Decrease after Each year (add as a rule)

[Enkrateia]

Maybe a GM would be so kind as to elaborate how it works?

Greetings!

On the Lodestone, under "Help & Support", you can find a "Rules & Policies" link (NA/EU). On this page, there is the Account Penalty Policy (NA/EU), which details account penalties and their progression.

I hope this information helps to facilitate a more specific discussion, since the links had not yet appeared in the thread.

Yeah, all these sound super reasonable. I doubt this comes down to using certain vulgar terms. I think it really comes down to if you misbehave over and over again and direct those vulgar terms towars other people. I don’t think it is so hard to understand that just like in real life you don’t go into a crowded space, scream profanities or let out your frustrations at a person or persons, and expect not to be given a warning, citation, or even be arrested for disturbing the peace. Keep going it, and eventually the consequences of being a jerk add up, and the people hosting you will eventually throw you out.

Square Enix isn’t your Mom. They are not here to coddle you and tell you “oh, you’ll learn to be more polite.” You aren’t a lovable child. You are a quest in their space and if you keep being a rude guest, they’ll stop inviting you to the party or ask you to leave.

And in certain cultures, such type of speech can even have your buisness penalized, such as paying fines to Germany or having your ESRB rating increased, or even internet controversy and parents boycotting the game for their teens for not being able to keep youth away from bad content. Square Enix is located in Japan, a culture built on honor and respect. Understand that.
