Regarding the Revision of the Prohibited Activities and Account Penalty Policy

[Thamorian]

Seems to me that these "prohibited activities" allow GMs to punish players for virtually anything they might desire to at any time.

I agree with sentiment.

But on a related note...

"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."

With these rules, is SE going to finally start punishing players who intentionally pull S ranks early who did not help spawn nor find the S rank and who only came because the S ranks were publicly called? Early S rank puller most definitely fall under nuisance behavior.

I'd say it also falls under...

・Other obstruction of play
This means all other behaviour that deliberately obstructs another person's game play by some means.

EDIT:
Saw this far back on page 39, and I think this reflects most peoples concerns.

It is not a "company" enforcing the rules.

The enforcement is done by entry level employees in the community management team who may not even have a college degree nor play the game, and whose job performance is based on how fast they can solve ticket with very little oversight. I've worked in the games industry before, these people don't even login to the game to deal with these tickets. It's just another branch of tech support.

If they get a ticket for something and it's against anything in the rules, they issue a ban. They don't spend hours investigating each case. They spend a few minutes, which is just looking at if the behavior is bannable in the rules.
