Cruel and Unusual Punishment

[Awha]

Careful how you word stuff, this makes it seem like you put blame on the victims for not speaking up sooner, which in such a volatile environment and a country with little social security nets to fall back on like the US can easily destroy your entire life. Double so since nowadays people in game development are very easily replacable since a lot of people went into that field thanks to their love for it.
I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it like that but this could easily be misunderstood.

You are right I need to be careful how I word / phrase what I am saying cause it can be easily misunderstood though not a 100% sure how to phrase it.

In practical sense I guess it is safe to say I am placing some blame on the bystanders and victims while I am not saying it is okay such things happened or people had to work through or in such an environment. What I am saying is unfortunately they are part of the reason this behavior was normalize and continued for so long. I understand the nature of being in a job where you are expandable and how speaking out or against alienates you and has the potential to stagnate ones career path.

What I am saying is many here have stated the OP should accept the consequences of their actions myself included though it also got me thinking should the same be said but on the other foot should adults also accept the consequences of their inaction? Overall I accept the backlash that I may get but I hope those that do see this do not think I am trying to marginalize what people have gone through or what they had to endure but what I am saying the failures of the past on many fronts brought this poison culture within many industries.

I didn't expect to be included on any screenshots that were taken, but yea this guy was shouting in Limsa on Siren the other night multiple times, this absolutely happened.

This, if anything could be considered to be, is the 'WoW effect:' people constantly trying to push an envelope of obscenity. I have no comment on the ban length, but I'm sure as heck glad it happened.

I expected to be told to change my name if there was any issue with it. Which I would have gladly done, and would have taken a 24-72 hour suspension with if if they really deemed it fit. My point is 20 days for something like this on a first offense is extreme. If you read the other thread completely you would have context instead of just talking and thinking I am saying I should not be banned. Yes I deserve to be punished, not I shouldn't be banned for 20 days on a first offense.

It doesn't matter that it was a first offense. That you even call it a first offense indicates you intend to keep doing it.

Twenty days is so you understand they're not joking around. People who like to push at boundaries to see what they can get away with don't learn the lesson when they're only banned for a couple of days. SE goes straight to the harder penalties to stop such behavior in its tracks. They don't want their time wasted dealing with childish games.

You're presumably a responsible adult who knows right from wrong. You agreed to the Terms of Service. Abide by those terms. If you don't, likely the next ban will be permanent.

We live in a society where some people think trolling to the point that others would question your humanity is okay. "It's just a game." or " This is internet" don't excuse any of your awful behavior. I'm more than sure he got banned for what he said in the chat https://imgur.com/a/fELOCu8 not for having some interesting FC and retainers names.

It's just sad to see when people find doing something like this "entertaining". It's just sad to see how some people chose to be ignorant and suggested "Ah just blacklist them."
Blacklisting them won't stop them going around saying the same things just to offend people.

We don't need this kind of behavior in this community. You don't need to troll to feel good about yourself. You don't need troll to entertain yourself.
There are so many things you can do to improve yourself to at least become a decent human being. Quit trying so hard to be an edgy cool kid who trolls.
Doesn't matter if it's just online. This isn't it.

Maybe I'm just being emotional but recently I've met many people with questionable behavior. I just hope that they aren't like how they act ingame/online, in real life.
Hopefully they will eventually grow up.

There are so many ways to troll this community and the most creative thing you could come up with is being insensitive in 2021 lololol

Seriously, thankyou so much for linking that and exposing OP's baloney.

I might as well piggyback on this thread and try and make something constructive out of it, so... Real Question: How should one report something like this? Just yesterday I saw somebody copy-pasted a long, multi-part rant shouted out to the whole map, that was incredibly vulgar. I won't say what it was about, but it was graphic in detail and just about the most "NSFW" text I've ever seen from a player so far in this game. They weren't even talking to anyone, it was just random spam they posted to the map for shock value. It was clearly a macro they set up ahead of time and probably used before, and planned to again.

I right-click on their name, and all I get is "report RMT." I went into the Help/Support stuff, and the closest I could find was "Report Harassment" with a message I should select that if I had been harassed. Well, that's not accurate, so I don't want to submit a false report. Should I have just used that option anyway, or is there somewhere else I should be reporting this kind of thing?

I don't typically get uppity about profanity, in fact I turn my profanity filters off and don't really care what people say. But this one instance was so beyond the pale, it was like "If anything should be reported, this is it."
