Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[MilkieTea]

I guess we'll see how things go. On the official forums for other games that I play, such threads are typically tolerated because they're a good way at building a sense of community among the regular posters as well as a place for new posters to show up and feel part of something.

I'd even be inclined to suggest that this thread would be a good place for our community representatives to show up and engage with us!

This! Also, by Off topic I mean, like, stuff that would normally derail other topics. So off topic but remaining XIV related. I'll edit my post to make that clearer.

Unfortunately, I think that is against the rules as well, cited here:

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-Discussion%21

• When you create a new thread, please do not mix multiple unrelated topics into a single thread. Instead, please create an individual thread based on each topic.

Wait... so then, how would I use a thread like this?

According to the english forum (NA/UK) guidelines we shouldn't be! In fact, the whole thread (and all the posts therein) should be deleted!

Like I said, they'll kill the thread if it's not something they condone, but TBH considering DE, FR, and JP forums have threads thousands of pages long for the same kind of discussion, I'm not sure it's something they think is actually against the rules. But like I said, if they don't want this here they'll kill the thread.

You know what really grinds my gears? When moderation of a forum is selective; enforcement not evenly meted out. But I digress.

The same thing happens in-game quite a bit. Get a GM that's having a bad day and they'll probably read the rules a little more literally than on a good day, even.
