Prohibited Behaviour

[Juun]

Well it is under SE rules and i also saw people for that stuff getting suspended. Spamming emotes even tho you can turn them off is a bannable offense. Which is not that weird, every decent human being should know that you don't have to click laugh thousand times in a row and if so turn the chat messages off.

Like I said what is spamming in this case? If someone uses an emote every minute and no one talks in general chat for 20minutes then your chat box is also filled with 20 laugh emotes in a row. All you gotta do then is put in a report oh look at that spam my entire chat box is filled.

With vague rules like this anyone can bend it to strenghten their argument in their favour.

That is true, i have the feeling most western players need really a fully specified rules book with everything covered to be a decent human being. I mean who could imagine that spamming /laugh as fast as i can for 5 minutes straight is a nuke for other players chats and especially console players who have the worst time of their life since they can't scroll that easily.

But i also think most offending players aren't reported cause yeah other players, me included, don't take offense in it. If someone calls me a mashed popoto if i again hit the floor as dragoon and then spams fifty times laugh on my sad corpse i just shrug it off. xD

But this isn't really about me here. There are people out there who will eventually hit the report button. And all i want is for others is to stay safe and don't lose their accounts. So i tell players and especially sprouts often about these rules so they are aware, not cause i benefit from it in any way.

Except that a GM can put up a time stamped chat that is why you are asked to provide time and date and area. It is vague for a reason if you read those rules it is up to the GM to make the final determination if rules were broken and what punishment will be. They are strict apparently some people cant control themselves so they have to be. I am all for strict rules if it keeps people civil to each other.
