No I don't, what do they say?

Also, where did I make an assumption??

You know the answer to both of those questions.

I believe that attitude is what is wrong with a lot of the world today. Just because other people are being jerks should not make it okay for you to be a jerk to them. That instigates a never ending cycle of people being petty and cruel to each other. Oftentimes people are annoying because they are looking for attention. Just don't give them the attention.

I can understand where Sesera is coming from; no one is obliged to respect someone else's disrespect.

What I don't understand, is your needless contrarianism in an attempt to take a moral high ground over a very clear cut example of disruptive behavior, something that's against the game's ToS.

And no, ignoring a problem by shoving it under a rug doesn't accomplish anything. 'Not giving attention' might as well by synonymous with complacency; it already is in a lot of situations.

That jump on the final yeah always gets me. It's so pure and cute.

I am not attempting to take any moral high ground or moral superiority. If my statements came across that way, then I would like to state that that was not my intent. What I have a problem with is when people confuse a companies ToS agreement with a person's right to speak. A ToS will always fail in the court of law when it's up against a person's basic human rights.

I don't like when people annoy me either. I don't like when people fill chat logs with useless emotes. But I will always defend someone's right to do those types of things as long as they are not truly hurting another person. I don't care about people's feelings as much as I care about their basic rights.

In this day and age we are seeing more and more examples of companies who claim to be a public forum and then trample the rights of people who participate in that public forum, all in the name of a ToS agreement. I think it's wrong. And I really don't understand why people seem to let is slide so often. If the communities of these public forums don't stand up for their rights to freedom of speech, then pretty soon their will be none.

Some may think this is just a game forum, or a chat within in a game, but it's really more than that.

Genuine question: is emote spamming a reportable offense? It's profoundly obnoxious.

Taken from https://support.na.square-enix.com/f...6&id=5382&la=1 :

all i ask is that people just don't flood limsa chat with emotes, is that so much to ask? :T

I know someone who's been playing for like 5 years and didn't know he could turn off the emotes in the menu. Back when I was new, I was also under the assumption it had to be made a custom macro to get rid of the text. Some people just do not know because there's nothing pointing to turn it off.

This didn't need a thread. We get petty complaints in this joke of a forum but my god this takes today's cake (but the day is still young). I'll hold out hope that OP is just bored and thought to add more trash to the heap of GD and not actually such a child that people emote spamming gets under their skin so much that they had to cry off the rooftops about it.

[SilverObi]

Lol you seem like the offended one here my friend.

I'm really not, just a little annoyed that this is even a discussion.

You should probably edit the names out of the picture, OP, as it might be seen as "naming and shaming" and could get you banned off the forums
