Roleplay Party Finder Account Suspensions

[DerpyWhiskers]

This game has a real issue with report-happy powertripping people, the likes of which doesn't exist in other MMO's. Idk maybe it's a JRPG thing. This is why I barely craft in public anymore.

I've seen someone report a player for standing by atheryte nd doing a /slap emote to the aetheryte. Some power hungry nerd goes "Enjoy your ban sir!" I said.. "omg did you serusly just report them for standing at the aetheryte and doing an emote?" They go "well I suspect they are running a script to scan for housing plots to become available" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL no shit.

I've personally witnessed real live humans just crafting get reported for crafting because they were crafting more than 5 minutes and it triggered someone to think they were "craft botting" whatever the heck that is.

Saw people on many occasions get reported for very very mundane and casual chat and discussion for disagreeing with someone even very diplomatically.

People will get triggered by sitting on ledges glitch and even by sitting on benches as intended. Players will report for even using the game's built-in emotes and built-in macro system, I've seen it happen. Totally unhinged and out of control.

In a decade of playing ESO I've reported only 1 thing ever lol (and it was a guild not even a person that thought it'd be funny to name their guild "we hate women and minorities" lol), truly amazed people go so far out of the way in FF14 to report every single thing they mildly disagree with when it affects them zero.

I agree totally. I think people are too much of a busy body in this game.

[..]even by sitting on benches as intended[..]

uh hello, this is like, MY bench?? hello??? can you like, not sit here? gosh...

inb4 these people had urls in their advertisements linking to sites with adult content, like last time this topic surfaced.

someone on the second page mentioned that their carrd explicitly states the ERP services they offer, so :P

[AnnRam]

"+18, drinks, (E)RP, brothels , links to massive degen discords where people uploads tons of porn of FFXIV game .. yeah.. why we got banned wtf?"

Even if that isn't your case, this need to stop at some point, most of people already crossed the line long time ago.

As someone who was here during the original wave of this stuff going down, it was pretty much confirmed that anything that references as an adult only event is at risk for being hit with a visit to gaol. There are also people who are hell bent on going to venues, trapping workers into engaging with them and then reporting them for the contents of said conversation. Unfortunately there's no much that can be done about this as it is a violation of the ToS ultimately, as the game is not rated for adults only. Conversations being not rated is not for your protection, it's for Square's in the event something major happens.

I would not list stuff as 18+ or involving adult content unless you're consenting to the potential risks that come with it.

Time for serious action to be taken against that GM.

It’s probably already been said, but it bears repeating:

It’s not just the physical card advertisement itself, but the actual content going on at your venue that can cause a ban. There is nothing to block minors or people who would take offense like the real world, so should one of those individuals come to your event and report inappropriate goings on/language, there is no shelter/“in the privacy of my house”/“but we said 18+ only”.

If a GM teleports to your venue and pokes around they can similarly take action. They could similarly take outside of game information into account.

Not that I agree or disagree (my actual opinion is apathetic), just that those are the rules.

[IckeDerTyp]

Still funny to me, that people assume an age rating would keep minors from partaking.

Have none of you been a minor yourself?

Anyway, you and your buddies will survive the 3 days!

I think, it's time to come up with another sort of advertising, eh? ^^

[Kes13a]

just curious, but how are you verifying the whole 18+?
how are you verifying that everyone attending is consenting?

for all you know, some stranger could have shown up because they were bored on a friday night and reported something they took offense at. "saw this thing on PF, I showed up and ewww..." *reported*

after the last round of this I thought it was pretty clear that advertising RP anything, especially 18+ was a poor idea and would result in a vacation.
