Mordion Gaol is a bad system

[Vickii]

Bad language warrants a ban? Really?

Man final fantasy xiv players are sensitive.

Reminds me of that screenshot where someone won the Byakko mount, typed "F*** Yeah!" and was reported and banned.

It’s against the terms of service though.

The game has an age rating. This is not the game for you to be dropping F bombs in, they made that clear. You can do that stuff in WoW but not here.

Normally disagree with you on a lot of stuff (not for the sake of disagreement, mind you, just because I think we view a lot of the world in fundamentally different ways) but I agree with this. The ToS is very, VERY clear when they need it to be, and purposely vague when they need to act with discretion.

F*** yeah is not dropping the F bomb, unless you (not you specifically) are overly sensitive. ToS or not, such cases need to be seen in context and not in a secluded way like "Oh look, two words. One is the F word. Time to ban". I'm sure you know this, but in this context the evil, evil F word was not an insult to the other players for not getting the mount, but as an, admittedly, strong expression of exhilaration. Sure there are other ways to say it, but eh... the heat of moment and all that. No rocket science.

Titan goal is quite scary I won't lie.

In that case, would you classify the s word as swearing, and thus against the ToS?

Yeah it's best to talk as little as possible in pugs or trade chat. There are tons of little bitches in this game that will report you just because they can and have nothing better to do.

Being reported =/= being put in gaol/disciplined. If you got busted that's because the GM ruled in favour of the person reporting you. There's no doubt lots of reports get binned because they're based on nothing (like "I asked for loot and someone else rolled on it and got it instead! >:C"), but if you get in trouble then you deserved it.

If you're incapable of speaking to others without possibly breaking ToS, that's a you problem, mate.

And what was it he said that broke it? Can't fix it when you are not told. That is the entire issue here. He knows the violation, but not what caused the violation. It does nothing to help the person learn or fix the issue.

It costs nothing to be more aware of how you speak to strangers. People act like it's impossible to know what might've done it, but I don't feel that way. I know when something I say might get me in trouble, but I'm still fully free to speak to other players in game.

Be nicer to people, and choose your words carefully if you have to be critical of someone (like giving gameplay-related suggestions). And limit the profanity. It's not difficult. I've been in plenty of verbal scraps in-game and have yet to be even warned. If someone gets in trouble for it, clearly what they said was significant enough to gaol them. If they can't remember that, again, that's their problem. Be mindful of how you interact with other people. Not sure how many other ways I can say it.

What is nice in one circle may not be in another. You cannot know what is and isn't unless informed of what it is. This is why everywhere but public opinion they let you know exactly what you are being punished for or charged with. Not simply "You violated this rule". They Point out exactly what you did to violated said rule. It is literally the only way one can learn from their mistakes.
