Regarding the Revision of the Prohibited Activities and Account Penalty Policy

[Rockette]

First thought - well this is nice, and desperately needed. Know people who follow others around "humping" and generally harassing as much as they can outside of text since they know they're black listed. Same with the MPK.

• Obscene/indecent expressions
• Actions that inflict emotional distress using content related to historical events or crimes
• Stalking
• Disclosing or indicating another person's real world personal information without permission

* Expressions that lack consideration for another person
wait a sec
*Expressions that compel a playing style
um
"Nuisance behaviour" means speech or behaviour that hurts others or obstructs game play, but which is not classified as harassment. Even if it was not the intention, a penalty may be imposed if the end result was that another person was hurt or obstructed.

Ok what. So, we are now completely at the mercy of what a GM of the day 's opinion is?

Does anyone remember this monster thread? Remember how, after much discussion, it was basically universally decided that there needs to be a proper appeal process that is easily accessible to players?

Guess what's missing from these now vague rule changes.

We all know that anyone can get banned from the official forums for the most asinine reasons. Now, bringing that to you live, in game!

Guys, this is a mess. While some rule changes are obviously not outside the scope of what should be acceptable behaviour, A LOT of this is subjective grey matter. Just, god. Just keep to yourselves. Keep to your own FCs, run your own farm groups. Mentoring is even more of a joke since now literally humming outside of your place is bannable. Look at the examples people have given in that past thread. Multiple bannings for the same offense, bannings after people spam report after every action/post. This is going to become a game, who can get someone else banned, just like it is here and on the lodestone. I guarantee it.
