    Warnings never expire this game. So you need to think back for your entire span of FFXIV gaming history for why you might have a warning for a vote kick.

    Someone could have joined the game back when it first launched, got a strike on their account for foul language and it would still be there today.

    Missing the point completely. *why is there a mark on my account for something I didn't do when someone making death threats is still active*

    I am aware of this. I'm saying I received a mark within the past 2 weeks for something I haven't done in over a year, so that would imply there's a year backlog in applying penalties.

    Cause let us be real most death threats are empty especially if they do not know where you live.

    A mark on someones account has tangible consequences especially if this game is used as an escape losing access to something you enjoy is rough and in terms of FFXIV more credible then some person wishing harm or threaten harm.

    Word to the wise about the vote kick issue just so not say anything in game then you have plausible deniability. If a GM does come to you just say it was for a difference of play styles. I say this from experience because I have been contacted many times for removing someone.

    As someone who dealt with a stalker and it was so bad had his ls also do it. I understand the pain you are going through, and at the time I also posted about it and it started a flame war with the community. This was during Heavenward, so i thought things have changed since that time.


    Also you can really get reported for vote kicking? Good to know

    Because getting death threats doesn't negate any past wrong doings or make you immune from the consequences of wrong doings done after receiving them.

    Given you said you appealed, either your memory's faulty and they did find fault with a kick you've participated in or you're not telling us the entire story. And likely at this point, unless it's faulty memory and you suddenly remember the occasion, we'll likely never know. SE are pretty tight lipped about rule violation discussions to prevent players who get reported from knowing who reported them.

    I have always considered votekick an absolute last resort. People refusing to do mechs and causing the party to wipe multiple times, where their presence is actively preventing the group from clearing. Tanks not using stance and causing repeated wipes, ignoring repeated requests, I'll even warn dps 'hey, gonna hold back this pull, see if they pay attention to chat when they see nobody else joining' because I don't want my party members to die. I make every possible effort to see a group clear before even considering kick, because that is the goal. Adapt to the group's needs, try to get the clear. I'd rather wipe for an hour and teach someone, get the clear, than kick someone. There is something else here, either mass false reports that did not get properly investigated or someone's got a friend.

    You're basically going into crazy theories now, because, frankly, you're fishing for reasons to cast blame onto something when it's clearly you're hiding something. Why do I say that? Because it rather weird to read you said you're getting harassed, but felt the need to bring up getting action for a vote kick that'd basically be meaningless in the bigger picture.

    Okay, so, let me help here, as someone with a similar enough experience.

    I doubt the argument here is "take my infraction away." It's more "Why am I getting an infraction for a more minor issue, but there's a player actively harassing (against tos), stalking (against tos), slander (against tos), and these are to the point of death threats, and that didn't appear to get so much as a warning. Assuming they did, the continued behavior would result in a ban, no?

    That's the focus, not "I want my infraction removed cuz there's worse people" it's "Why is worse stuff not dealt with? Would it not be fair for both to suffer?"

    I had to deal with someone for months who'd publicly harass me and slander me, and even went after my friends and fc members to try and get them to hate me. Square did nothing, during the entire time. It only stopped because eventually the community got annoyed with them telling everyone how horrible of a person i am for breathing for months on end in shout chat. According to my multitude of tickets of response, and lack of result from them, to the point where Square was auto closing my own tickets over the subject because they didn't wanna talk about it anymore, they do not see any issue with it.

    Despite that, I have a three day because I got angry at a leech, who jumped off the platform in a trial and stayed dead, and ended up swearing at him. I swore, so I got slapped, that was the specific section they mentioned. Wasn't hard to figure out which situation on my end (which should be a good thing, no? Means I'm not constantly doing that kind of thing), but I ended up getting confused. If I swear at someone and that's a 3 day, why is what happened to me perfectly fine?

    The point is, it's not. Nobody should have to deal with these threats, empty or no.

    The GM said, direct quote, [18:37][GM]Gm Zezejires: Unfortunately, evidence was found of you abusing the vote kick, which is a violation of our rules and policies. If you would like, you can review our rules and policies at (http://support.na.square-enix.com/fa...6&id=5382&la=1).

    This was on 7/10/2021. I have not votekicked in over a year, or witnessed one in half a year. What conclusion can I possibly draw from that? What could I possibly hide that would make sense here? The only things I leave out are 'here are chat logs of dozens upon dozens of incidents.
