Reported these bots nothing happens!

Not naming and shaming on the OF is in the forum’s ToS. Again, that doesn’t make it “PC”—PC means “politically correct”. I’m giving you the definition here because you seem to be conflating “being PC” with “following the rules”. Asking you to abide by forum guidelines of “don’t name and shame other players” is not being politically correct. It’s asking you to follow the rules of the forum.

I know what it means assuming people don't and failing to understand my point doesn't make you right... have fun correcting people on forums today and probably most days sounds like your thing.

There's really no reason to be belligerent. Especially when most of the people here were only "correcting" you for your own sake. You seem to be laboring under the impression that we either like or at the very least are apathetic about the bots you called out. We aren't. Would you rather we said nothing and you got slapped with a ban instead?

You seem to understand that the forum guidelines include a zero-harassment policy and that 'naming and shaming' falls under that policy- i.e. it's against "the rules". What we seem to disagree on is if "the rules" are inherently "PC" (at the same time using PC in a manner that conveys negative connotations, which is another matter entirely). The fact of the matter is, this is a public forum for an online game that is played (and paid for) by an extremely large and a wildly diverse group. "The rules" have to be PC in this situation, if for no other reason than SE needs to cover their behind (note that I can't even use the word I would like to here, for the same reason) and make sure that no one, in this diverse group has legitimate grounds on which to base a complaint, let alone an actual lawsuit.

TL;DR- Anonymous people on the internet have tendency to act like children, so SE is forced to treat us like children, and make overly-strict rules to ensure that we all play nice.

belligerent no, maybe due to being text you fail to understand my tone. This is the type of rhetoric that derails topics and misses the point so that is the only thing I don't really like. Thank you for adding to that for real because maybe some of you guys who do that looks like with 1000's or 100's of posts (I can assume) may realize it after a while of being told to stop taking topics off of the point just may. with heart of hearts, hopefully they do something useful have a nice day! WTB 50 posts about stopping these two bots Only 10mil gil lol jk (bc may be against TOS and no one reads that)

gladly delete the post can they get banned? its just these two sorry if im not up to date on trends for being pc

Hopefully they will get banned, but the issue about naming anyone in threads like these isn't a matter of being PC or not; it falls under the harassment policy of the forum ToS. The mods are usually pretty draconian about this sort of thing and if anyone reports the post, they'll nuke it very quickly and you'll be the one who get's in trouble, not the bots. Which is the height of injustice, I know, but still how the forum rules are set up.

By all means, keep the post up, but delete the names and edit them out of the screenshot. It's not worth you getting a temp ban while the bots get off scot free.
