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

[-S-a-g-e]

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.
