Can we talk about the elephant in the room - Permanent Bans from the Official Forums

[Beckett]

A bunch of guide writers got perma'd towards the start of HW for including videos/images in their guides with parsers in the background.

VanilleFang was banned for a joke thread. They posted an incredibly small portion of their own fflogs page in a screenshot - literally just their 100% run as a WHM on the last boss in Rabanastre. The caption was something like "look what Holy did!" and that was it. It was a cute lol and a nice thing to congratulate.

lol what? What happened to "We can't accept any evidence except in-game logs. Photos and videos can be edited."?
