Is moderation in this game a joke?

[Kazmarek]

Yeah. The GM team isn't a joke, it's an entire circus. I honestly think that there actually aren't any GMs at all and that the place is just empty. Just a heads up, you'll have a bunch of people coming in here telling you you're completely wrong because they don't respect themselves enough to realize they deserve better from something they're paying monthly for.

Is moderation in this game a joke?

It is. They only jump into Action if you criticize (rightfully so) the Director/Producer and his Staff.
Appart from that, they are Invisible. And you know what? We,the Players are actually paying their Salary for nothing. Isn't that funny?

I've reported a fair few people in this game for being disruptive and hateful. All of those times I've gotten a copy paste "we're sorry this happened to you, try blocking them though" response.

I'm actually very frustrated with this, considering that my home world is Balmung and that is where most of the disruptive people go to. I've reported a person who has been making alt character after alt character that was SA-ing people, openly being transphobic, openly homophobic, everything under the sun and all I have gotten was the copy paste report and a warning on my account for swearing instead. I've also more recently reported a person for making off "jokes" about child labor and child slavery with the same response received.

I'm trying to make this game a safer place not only for me, but for others that feel uncomfortable around people like those and I do not feel like reports are not being taken seriously, especially in Balmung. Many of my friends who have reported other people of similar behavior have told me that they have received the exact same responses as I have and the offender going unpunished.

The way that myself and others perceive the GMs in this game is that they ignore the serious reports of harassment and instead crack down on the most heinous of crimes that is swearing. This is not a good look. Please do better, I am exhausted of having to report terrible people to what is essentially a brick wall.

Player character reported for inappropriate language.

Player character disappears.

New player character appears using same inappropriate language.

Sounds to me like something was done since the player didn't return on the original character. Free trial accounts are easy to make.

The game is never going to be anyone's "safe place". While there are standards of conduct that players are expected to meet, the GMs can only react after the fact to violations of that standard. They can't prevent things from happening in the first place.

You will always be exposed to it at some point.

And of course you are playing into the hands of those who delight in getting other players upset by allowing yourself to get upset. Now they've scored.

Report, blacklist and move on.

Yes. You can get away with just about anything except hurting “fee fees” by calling someone out for poor DPS and the like. Then the mods instantly suspend you (bans are permanent, suspensions are not)

[Immut]

You're playing in English, so yes. English speaking players exist only to give SE money.

GM's rarely act on anything, it's a sad and well known fact according to the documentation I was recently shown by a former fc mate who kept very detailed information regarding dozens of reports made that went completely unactioned despite being pretty severe violations of the user agreement.

[Coratanni]

Block and move on. Simple answer.

[Mostly_Raxus]

have you ever considered minding your own business, ignore and move on, if the mods dont see it a ban worthy then its not your job to complain till they do, get off the server that is know for lewd behavior.

you speak about someone making alts specifically, aka you know them and associate with them, you are are responsible for your own feelings there bud.

i get that it wins you social credit points speaking out against anyone teasing a certain protected class, but most people will just tell you "stiff upper lip chum." its the internet, if you cant handle it get off it.
