Rule question - SHOUT for FC Recruitment -Spam? Harrasment? Ignore? Doesn't matter?

[CrazyLew]

Recently I've had some bad experiences from players in limsa lominsa and so I've questioned myself - is there a more approachable way of doing this. I've used the ffxiv community finder/fc finder and fc page recruitment and found no members for my fc...




I've only found member recruitment through shouts and /tell communications. I've been using the SHOUT for FC recruitment in the following areas: -

Limsa Lominsa once a day
Ul'Dah once a day
Gridania once a day

I'll visit the area in 3 mins and post my recruitment speech/invitation in the shout and then teleport to the next area.. All 3x are done in roughly 3 mins or however long it takes me to type up the phrase and then teleport out.

Recently people have said I'm spamming the cities everyday..... it's against the policies of ffxiv rules? But I can't find anything suggesting that.

I'm -NOT- violating: -

Communication based conflict
Harassment
Nuisance behavior
Obstruction of play
Behavior that disrupts the game balance
Real-Money Trading (RMT)
Political et cetera

Just want to clarify, I am not doing any of the following but I do try using the shout for fc recruitment..

So, I'm not harrassing people; I'm not spamming anything such as services or gil for feet pics +_+ NOOO!! I'm simply doing a shoutout for people to join my fc... I've seen alot of people do it and so I started it myself and honestly 3/4 of the people in my fc were met this way. Some are really mentors, some returnees and half are quite literally new to the game.



I just need to know the clarification on this issue? Because if I'm wrong for doing this then EVERY fc recruiter doing shouts in also violating rules and whatever..

(I love the game and play everyday) - This isn't a troll post - but a genuine question.
