Man SE's forum Gm's worst I have ever seen in gaming historyFollow

So I get a email about a post I made in 2013 about a year ago right around the time the beta ended, I got this email in September of 2014 but the email wasn't bad it was about some guy trolling I never mentioned his name because guide lines of name shaming and this was in 2013 something I forgot about.

Today I was banned for using the word Lazy, because the guy said he shouldn't have to go places to get a card to play the game in his region which doesn't accept credit cards so he wanted to play but can't because of play span and if he wanted to play he would have to get the game cards.

I said "I call that lazy, I did since FFXI - FFXIV every month putting money on my card when I get paid, then I said I understand Square Enix had bad payment options I won't forget about clickandbuy"

But because I used the word lazy compared to people cussing, attacking others and other thing's I have seen on those forum's that should be removed or banned haven't but two post I made were removed.

I have asked similar people and they agree and have had similar things happen to them for not so bad post.

Has anyone else had this happen to you?

It doesn't matter when the post was placed on the OF or even what context it was meant as, all it takes is for someone to read the post and report it if they find it offensive (even though you don't think it is). You're not missing much by being banned from the OF, be glad they didn't ban your game account as well.

Yeah I looked over the email I got it says "Posting content with the intenetion of criticizing either Square Enix staff"

Because I said the stuff about their payment options aka Click and Buy, I don't care that was the worst payment option I have ever encountered.

Though that does not have anything to do with their staff or does it?

@Sillyhawk You got that right.

@catwho Yeah I believe you man, I might not end up going back there, a tiny little word might be huge to them and they take it the wrong way it might mean bad news for me in the long run best to steer clear of that mess.

And yet, in spite of the draconian measures employed to ban people from the official forums for stirring up trouble, they still manage to be a cesspool of hate, derision, madness and hysteria.

Do all this and you'll still get perma'd if you as much as hint of the massive hacking problems from last year.

I must say they settled that issue with an iron hand since the economies weren't permanently ruined though.

Though it's pretty weird to me that tons and tons of people are Posting content with the intenetion of criticizing either Square Enix staff everyday.
Though they choose a select few to ban even if its typed out pretty well.

The people who target SE for housing, payment plans, coil lock outs, pvp and other stuff they've been blasting SE over for months now but don't do anything to them.
Which strikes me as Odd.

Though it's okay, I probably going to take the high road on this one and avoid them forums, because they ask you to criticize what they make in order to make it better but how can you when they ban you it's a failed system.

This, pretty much. It's a skillset that is usually abandoned on the internet, so posting that way is like typing a research paper out.

Yep!!!!

It's insanely difficult to get banned from ZAM. You pretty much have to beg for it. Yet, shockingly, it happens.
