Why Are the FFXIV Forums So Bad?

[Stormpeaks]

I know it looks suspicious given the language and tone of the OP, but the join date isn't this year and other details look normal and not like an alt.

Yeah nah this is an alt of you know who 100%, he has alts from accounts he's had in the past, not the first time

way too obvious

I'm not understand totally your question? What do you mean by loaded

Just means if not handled with care it can go off in your hands. Just means it's a topic that can easily get into arguments...which I've no doubt you have seen.

Frankly all forums do this but this one is getting bad because of...inconsistent moderation. I wouldn't say they are absent but the mods are very unknown and one thing that you think would be a ban can go on for months and another thing you think would be innocent goes to the chopping block nearly immediately. It has caused the good to be cautious and the bad to just run amuck.

Then you got those just here for the drama...and frankly I don't blame them...drama is always around the corner if none to be found immediately.

I'm really not baiting, though in hindsight I didn't mean to have the rude vibe the OP had, I was more or less in a joking manner trying to explain the demeanor and how ridiculous it is given the assumed average age of forum users.

I was actually genuinely curious why the forums just seem like an entirely different atmosphere and why this exact thing you're demonstrating here happens. There has been a ton of super interesting and helpful answers, basically summing up to lack of moderation and anonymity combined with a lack of punishment being tied to SE account.

honestly? ballony sausage.. like really im not buying this lame excuse. u dont just post something so provocative and insulting to your fellow players without a modicum of self awareness to even read it. if u had any self respect ud delete or at least TRY to necro this thread. ull find nothing of value on here with a post like this, only anger and spite.. and unless u genuinly enjoy negitive attention, i cannot fathom why youd encourage it your way. you're not proving some point about the community being toxic, ur being the very toxicity you claim not to like

is it somebody whos name sounds like numerous? ive been thinking its them just not sure

I don't find the behavior acceptable and I have an extremely poor/comical vision of how I imagine such posters behind the screen. But...I can't put the energy in caring more than the moderation team, so here we are.

I am impressed with how disruptive ONE person is to an entire forum...not impressed with that person, but that it's allowed to continue.

once zepla/mr happy or xenosys catches on and exposes it the mods will deal with it and actually moderate the forums

Oh.. o.o thats definitely not what I've picked up but I've only been on the forums a few months now, so maybe I'm just seeing a small slice

not buying this bruh. been on these forums 2 weeks now and this an neumenons other post is only time i ever seen u around

I know it looks suspicious given the language and tone of the OP, but the join date isn't this year and other details look normal and not like an alt.

as soon as i saw the character's face and the lack of a certian presence on this particular thread i too was sus it could be an alt. That person has been getting constant backlash here latley and i figured they just went mask off on an alt out of frustration

People are just now discovering that this forum was built over an Indian burial ground and it's literally cursed. Sometimes vengeful spirits inhabit the accounts of frequent forum posters like how an Ascian takes a new body as its host. The goal is much the same. When the confluence of chaos reaches its peak, the one true troll shall be reborn. That highlander guy, I guess. As we speak his dark servants work to rejoin his alts.

Sounds like we need White Auracite. Or Scrubbing Bubbles.

The op claims every poster is toxic then proceeds to call everyone names and that everyone on the forums lack a social life and have mental issues and various other insults.

But then comes back in and basically says "just kidding" yeah mmhmm I got this bridge it's only seen 50 years of use still in good shape selling it for a cool million in the next hour. Oh it comes with a bucket of flex seal just in case.

It's funny when a troll insults the entire forums then comes back and claims it's a joke when it's possible it's another titanmen doing there usual stuff.
