Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[Nav_Fae]

Correction, some random people in a discord of hudreds are mad. Please stop generalizing everyone because of a few asshats. They shouldn't be contacting you directly, though if it's a civil discourse I see no harm in hearing them out. Regardless, you're garnering attention based on presenting a strong opposition to something which negatively impacts other people. You would undoubtedly get a similarly negative response demanding SE do something about FFlogs and parsers.

You have also, once again, demonstrated how inconsequential this whole "issue" is. You blacklisted three people who bothered you, thus they cannot contact you again. Why does SE did to do anything when the tools to stop harassment already exist and you just used them? Keep in mind, Blacklisting words the same way mods do in the sense those people can still chat, you simply aren't able to see it anymore.

Here is the most recent thing I have gotten in-game. I logged off after this as I grew tired of the onslaught.

And that can be reported as harassment(especially since it could be argued they are modding based on the way they worded it), just report anyone who does say stuff like that, and the GMs will look into it - likely quicker if you don't engage in an argument with them.

Now I don't support that kind of behavior but if you simply asked for their twitter handle the GMs might've actually done something about that as they'd be promoting harassment & advertising content that's breaking the Terms of Service.

That is a bit much. I wouldn’t blame you for reporting that even if it wasn’t meant to be mean, which if it was after this forum post I’m sure it was. But those that don’t hurt anyone and just keep it to themselves shouldn’t be called out. A few asshats is not the whole community.

I hope this is a joke?

Report the idiot. GMs will step in over /tell harassment. Why should the whole mod community be dragged down by someone's a jerk? This is the issue people have. Not a single post here has said you deserve to be harassed, quite the contrary. We're just failing to see why modders should be punished for the actions of one or two idiots.

Roll with the banter, try having some fun with it instead of letting it get under your skin.


(And yes, I agree with reporting them too, whilst I think you've painted a target on your back with the manner in which you've handled this thread. They've done the same with stupid /tells such as that).

1) Even if a user is 'found out' in the community, there's nothing that can be done to prevent them accessing mods online. Period.
2) If someone does harass you with them, report, blacklist, move on. Why let it ruin your life?
3) It's all client-side, not server-side. It's literally the same thing as imagining someone naked. They're clothed, but you can 'see' them naked. And as long as you have the common sense not to tell them about it, everyone's life goes on.
4) Unless the game files are completely overhauled, literally anything and everything can be changed and modded. There's no such thing as "safe" apparel in the long run.
5) People that use the mods and never share/talk about them/shove it in your face aren't a problem. The problem is the jerks using it to harass others, and they'll find ways without mods to be A-holes.

But why should she have to? It's obviously something she doesn't enjoy. Blisting and moving on is probably the best option here. And again, others should be respectful of their target's feelings towards the matter. If that person has been told to knock it off, and are continuing with comments like that? That's not cool.
