Devs: Do you have plans to reset the forums in the future?

Thank you.
To have BelgarianROFL posting again would be a crime against humanity.

That's assuming that they wasn't banned from the game or that they will continue to be paying subscribers. Also several months have passed by since the game hasn't been up and they have no forum access they are probably off being a plague to some other MMO's forums.

That's an assumption nothing else. If you unbann all those retards at least some of them will come back and do same shit as before. And there are so many different reasons why ppl got banned. Some of them, you can't unbann (like those who been posting pornographic pictures etc.) and to decide for every single bann would be way too much work.

Again those ppl all had their 2nd chance allready and they gave shit about it, no reason to let em back in.

Still in his scenario he may have earned the 1st ban but did not earn the secondary ban saying he was still doing something when it was literally impossible for him to do it. Also my main point still holds true, they are starting fresh and so should the forums.

No if you must know my brothers handle was Dargoth_Draconia, he tended to be a little hot headed at times but all he did was call someone retarded,literally.

Still, it would be nice if you quote his post here so we can look up his history posts but we can't guarantee you that even if he got banned there's nothing for us to do. This thread sounds like we should blame mods for your brother. o.o

Nevertheless, if he wants to take his time to read the rules below:

It's not my main point though I'm just saying some who may have gotten banned previously should not be banned in ARR forums because a new start all over the board. My bro just so happens to fit into that category so I used him as an example. It is only fair, I can understand why some would say no to this because of people like gift_horse and the other trolls that may have gotten banned.

Still new game should come with new forums and old issues should be wiped clean. If they can log in the game (paying to do so) they should be able to log into the forums and give their 2 cents.

This isn't always a good idea though. It's like saying you did nothing wrong and deserve a second chance..if SE bans you they really don't want you around.

You can do something pretty bad in XI and get banned in XIV as well since they'll ban the SE account if both is linked. You may hack the hell out of XIV and be an absolute angel in XI and they'll still completely ban you as they enforce their rules. ARR is still basically FFXIV and if SE banned someone from XIV they still should stay banned from ARR. If SE excuses that they may as well unban everyone that banned from XI every time an update or expansion comes out.

Sure certain sticky situations apply but what you say has nothing to do with what I am talking about outside of accounts being linked. I am not saying give people whose characters were banned from the game itself the removal of a ban but instead those players who may have gotten fairly/unfairly banned from the forums another chance. It's not like saying you did nothing wrong here is a second chance because they already been banned for an long period. It is saying here is one more strike as a measure of good faith for supporting our company.


Also every time an expansion or update comes out!?!? Really? FFXIV: ARR in the first place isn't as simple as a update or a expansion. It is the re-release of a game rebuilt from the ground up not only with the game getting a new beginning but the forums to a degree are getting redesigned to suit the game. They are trying to reestablish a fan base so a good way in doing that is to be lenient on previous forum related issues and letting them have access to the new forums. Also I am sure their will be a new EULA agreement/rules , also new regional based servers and perhaps new forums subsections to go with those. Technically a brand new forum all members who have active accounts (once the game starts up) should be able to have free access to the forums once again, and they can be easily banned again if they broke the new code of conduct.

[Zehira]

My main point is even if he wants to avoid breaking the rules. New forums will have the same rules. For resetting all banned accounts, we will need an answer from mods though.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

Granted that i've been ban before.. for merely 3 hours for /sarcasm but meh, only once :P

[moriandrio]

Still the same person that got the bann. If he got permabanned he must have done bad things multiple times and was warned. I don't think it's a good idea to unbann everyone just cause of ARR ,ppl that are permabanned deserve them.
