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

[Beckett]

I got banned in December for 10 days for creating a thread “the Rewards for the Christmas event are “ first word is a (S) last is a (T) and is four letters in total”. I won’t put what I wrote here for obvious reasons but if I remember correctly I used the word 3-4 times. I wasn’t rude to anyone just saying what my opinion of the event was. Never had I had a warning of anything before being playing and being in forum for a few years now. Went straight for a 10 day ban.

Was it just? Wasn’t it? I won’t discuss just wanted to put another players recent experience for others players to know as it is appropriate for this topic.

You have to put an 'e' at the end to make it FFXIV appropriate.

That made me laugh.

I'm actually legit curious if that would actually work or not. Not willing to try though since I've already been banned once for my "aggressive language". Me and my gosh darn it potty mouth.

If you go advanced mode on your own post you should be able to edit the title of a thread you've started. Just thought that should be added here. I didn't see that posted, although I skimmed the first four pages and then ran a search so.. I apologize if its old info now.

Edit:

The weird thing about that though is that it doesn't actually change the title of the thread. It just changes the title of the first post in the thread. The original title will still be here on the forum page.

I feel like I've done it before, but there could be other things at play (like it was moments after posting it live, and long ago, or I'm crazy lol). But I thought people should know that my info is incorrect.

Yeah just tested it, you're right. Although I swore I've done it before on a new thread lol (like 1 minute old thread). Maybe there is a time frame that it can be changed? Or forum features were tightened down over time? Next time I start a thread I'll have to see if I can fiddle with the title for a bit.

But thank you for pointing this out, I was (still am to an extent) feeling that you could. Also this just shows how important it is not to put something regrettable in a title lol, if you can't take it back and can get in trouble for putting it out there .

I got a 10 day ban because I used a word that involved a butt and a hole.

Be careful everyone.

I got a 10 day temp ban, and the reason given to me was...

a post I quoted.

A+ goodwork

I still feel like there are too many inconsistencies with the way bans are handed out. And I’m not even talking about the “this poster was banned because they were reported” versus “this poster wasn’t banned because they weren’t reported” — I’m talking about how some posters will get banned for the slightest mistakes, meanwhile, I’ve reported individuals for extremely vitriolic posts (with those awful bad words in them!) and they go on unscathed.

I just wish there was more consistency.

if you cannot stand censors just use reddit?
