Thank you to the moderators

I know this place clearly isn't the main source for new people to come voice their concerns, likings etc of the game. That clearly is reddit, discord and twitter.

Presently all of the reddit communities are down in protest of the Reddit API change.

But yes, I would say that Reddit and Twitter are absolutely the places people go to talk about the game.

Reddit maybe but the FFXIV Twitter community is worse than all the trolls on this forum combined

Wait, we have moderators?

Sometimes.....but selectively.

Wait, we have moderators?

doubtful. what I think we have is aged hamsters who occasionally wake up and run on a wheel, which then randomly deletes threads on the first page.

honestly, is there any other explanation for how general seems to be "moderated"? no hidden cabals of mass reporters, no living in anyone elses head, just... tired rodents

Thats why honestly SE should be made aware of this outside of this forum for something to actually start changing because it is becoming shameful how this place is handled.

Funny thing is I bet theres plenty of players who would moderate it for free.

I thought this was a sarcastic thread. The main reason the forum is in this state is the few dozen of people and their alts that continue trolling their ways. Everyone knows their names and the names of their alts, and roam free like mosquitoes on a hot summer day, but nothing is done. SE seems to be able to ban ingame without banning on the forum (or at least I've seen people coming and complain on the forum for their ingame ban), so they should be able to do the opposite. And if not, that should be implemented.

I can definitely see how you'd expect this to be sarcasm but I really was being sincere. This place has a LONG way to go, but I appreciate the effort to remove the absolute worst of it. It's a low standard for a community but it's definitely more than I've seen before.

I also agree with Sassy - It's a bit sad you have to be wary here due to the hostility. Other game communities have simple things like pet threads, cosplays, or just more openness talking about themselves. I wouldn't feel comfortable engaging in things like that here as you know some people would take the harassment too far. It's sad.

They can do the opposite. I got banned here before for some name I called someone (not a slur or anything, just like profanity) but didn't get banned from the game.

So the tool exist... That's rich...
