3. fifth - mark your thread as "discussion". Then, as soon as someone starts to discuss your topic, call them out as being "toxic haters", since your opinion is the only valid in the room.

This is what devil's incarnate AI had to say on the topic. HTH!

Starting a thread on the FFXIV forums is simple, but doing it well makes a huge difference in how people respond. Before posting, make sure you’re logged in with your Square Enix account and have an active subscription; otherwise, you won’t be able to create new threads or reply. Once you’re in, navigate to the correct sub‑forum that matches your topic—General Discussion, Job Feedback, Lore, Technical Support, or whichever category fits best.

When writing your post, begin with a clear and descriptive title. Avoid vague titles like “Question” or “Help pls”; instead, summarize your topic in one sentence so readers immediately know what to expect. A good title increases the chance that the right people will click on your thread and provide useful answers.

In the body of your post, explain your topic in a structured way. Start with a short introduction, then provide the relevant details: what happened, what you’re suggesting, or what you’re asking. If you’re reporting a bug or giving feedback, include steps, examples, or screenshots. If you’re asking for help, describe what you’ve already tried so people don’t repeat the same suggestions.

Keep your tone respectful and focused. The FFXIV forums are heavily moderated, and posts that are hostile, sarcastic, or accusatory tend to get ignored or removed. Staying calm and factual not only avoids moderation issues but also encourages better responses. Remember that players from many regions and languages read the forums, so clarity helps everyone.

Finally, check your post before submitting. Fix typos, remove unnecessary lines, and make sure your formatting is readable. After posting, stay active in your thread—answer questions, clarify details, and thank people who help. A well‑maintained thread gets more attention and leads to better discussions.

Remember you can edit your post to get around low character limits when your wall of text isn't reaching high enough.
