ByeBye Alzeroth D:

Time for an episode of "Confessions of a snitch."
Doesn't really work that way. Things that have been seen can't be unseen. People who have stick figure obscenities in their bazaar comments are doing it purely for the childish shock value. They know that kind of thing is not allowed, yet they persist because they want to see if they can and they want to see if and how people react to it. It's idiotic.
There's a difference between being a snitch to garner favor with a hypothetical boss and attempting to keep your game free from childish idiocy.

It's not that hard to behave. It really, really, REALLY isn't. People who refuse to need to go back to elementary school and pay closer attention to how they graded you on things other than "math" and "spelling"--things like "plays well with others" or "self-discipline." Or was that just my school? lol.

Someone being an idiot to you? Don't be an idiot back, don't get into an argument with them, don't roll your eyes and sarcastically say "oh yeah we obviously use 3rd party apps," just don't say anything. Did you turn down a party invite with a polite "no thanks" and have someone bite back "why the f- not?" Don't swear back--you're now just as guilty as the other idiot. (True story--yes I GMed him, yes he got suspended for a few hours.)

I'm not a snitch. I don't go around GMing everyone who uses a word the game would otherwise filter... unless they direct it at me. I just like to teach people that their actions have consequences and that if you misbehave, haul off swearing at someone you don't know for no good reason, or think you can talk endless trash with no retaliation, one day you will invoke the ire of the wrong person.

OP, I hope you come through because the rules are obviously being applied differently to you--you never had a first suspension for this one to come to an account review.

Here's hoping for sanity in all facets of the game.

In before tl;dr and rate downs.

Yeah I was skyping with all my members, don't worry, as you can see there is nothing wrong with what I did, was just a childish accusation, I'm on the phone with the losers right now, and they actualy don't have any proof regarding this suspension even happening, looks like I'll be reactivated shortly hahah. And I need you in my shell, my whms are getting lazy :p

Let me ask you this, if he or she didn't use the F word and just said "why not?" would you still reacted as a negative responce?

Don't swear at me and I won't GM you, and we can play together in peace.

No, I wouldn't have. Asking "Why not?" is a genuine expression of curiosity, and I would have answered him--because I don't want to duo things that are already giving me low exp, because I need to get up and cook dinner every now and then and couldn't do that if someone was relying on me to heal them, because I'm holding out hope for a full party that gives me at least 10k an hour. (This was an invite to duo VoS FoVs while I was already soloing there while seeking party.) Adding that word made the whole thing hostile, and I don't let people talk to me like that. People need to learn that their words and actions have consequences and that you'll eventually anger the wrong person if you chronically break the rules. Deal with it. In the end it's a difference of opinion--you think I'm a snitch. I don't. I think people who misbehave despite being aware that the rules don't allow such words or lewd bazaar comments need to be taught a lesson. You don't. Neither of our opinions is more valid than the other. Don't swear at me and I won't GM you, and we can play together in peace.

i'd say being able to imagine stick figures *** is pretty inventive and not childish at all.

/swears at you saying "Help me open this god damn pickle jar"

since when are stick figures offensive?

there are 10-13 year olds that play ffxi... and not just once in a blue moon but every day. met a couple since i've started. (and lordy lord @.@ one always bugged me)

Here's the difference though. This game is rated T by the ESRB meaning you should be at least 13 years of age to play this game. Not to mention you need to be 13 to legally play this game to begin with. At this age I realize many people are immature and childish, and the given rating doesn't necessarily reflect the overall age group with the community therein but it does reflect on how wide the target audience is. With that said, I would like to think if something as childish and petty as sexual stick figures would be simply dismissed as that: childish, petty and insignificant. Going out of your way to abuse policy systematics to get someone in trouble over that is no longer an attempt to "clean up" the game, it was a willful act of spite, and ironically makes you the more childish one. Especially when a significantly more simple action would be to ask the person to remove it, or simply ignore it and move on with your life. The police don't need to be called every time you feel insulted.

Online Games aren't rated anymore thanks to Pokemon.

I mean are you gonna really rate Pokemon "T"?

hell i've heard 100000000000000000000 10 year olds on xbox360 shout profanities on XBL

*** you Phantasy Star Universe

Also if anyone is offended by language or profanity; turn on your language filter.

It was put in the game for a reason. Same goes for those who QQ over being examined.

Well hey--everyone's entitled to their opinions about everything, including me and my attitude toward willful ignorance of the rules. :) But expressing them obscenely is not only not going to affect me, but get you reported.

Anyway, I figured the response would be something like this, so keep trashing me, keep looking for me to slip up and do something wrong in-game, it's cool--GL in your endeavors. However, I sit secure in the knowledge that I am the ***. ^^/ Have fun, I'm out.

I usually ignore and refrain from posting such things but I cannot pass up this opportune moment. Are you the guy who always leaves me hateful childish comments? Well now this is just karma at its finest.

I'm curious to know if you chastise people in every day life the way you die in game, Shanyn. If someone cusses at you, give them a smiley emote, it usually does more to irritate them.
