What is it about then? The GM laid it clearly in those screenshots, the PF is for creating parties to run content.
No, it isn't. They have an "Others" tab for a reason. It's always been meant to find people who are interested in a specific activity, which can include things like selling crafting gear, advertising raid discords and all of sorts of things. Literally all of the major discords people readily use (Aether Hunts, Raid Recruiter, Ultimate Uncoiled, The Balance) all started through PF advertisement and wouldn't exist otherwise. Until now, this has been allowed since the inception of PF. Suddenly, we have a single GM who has taken it upon themselves to decide "Nope. Can't do that." No warning to players prior, no other GMs issuing bans or reports. Does that not come across as someone grossly overstepping their authority?

Regardless, it makes SE themselves look downright incompetent because PF is littered with RMT advertisements they do nothing about. If they do want to clean up PF, they need both announce it publicly and address everything. Not just cherry pick. Which is effectively what this GM is doing.
