Also idk why were instantly being accused of having a love affair with China

Because I want a rational explanation, and "you don't have to" because you cower behind your TOU.

So let's start from the beginning....

HOT TOPIC OF THE ENTIRE WEEK...."Major UNITED STATES videogame publisher shuts down free speech, showing support for China's policies; partly due because of large profit margins at potential risk."

Now here I go, posting on the FFXIV board saying pretty much the same thing here:

Does shit-talking about China get you banned from this game too?

Since thats Blizzards policy, but since SQEX is of Eastern shores has there been any mass bannings in FFXIV for speaking against China?

Will talking about China in open chat in (ie) Limsa Lominsa get you banned?

Asking for (political) science reasons....

Seems like a legitimate question, no malice or "trolling" intent behind it.

I mean this whole debacle with Activision, is asking all sorts of questions toward the industry as a whole, and anyone involved like third party videogame forums like gFAQs. What does that say for the gamers here? Or online in their respective game right now? These are questions I want to know. I'm Canadian, I love Final Fantasy XIV, and I love freedom too. So I like to know what people's opinion are on the matter if I continue to further invest my time in that game, before I say the wrong thing and get my account cancelled losing all my progress and the money I put into it.

Now IIRC, that topic I made went on for two whole pages, with some insightful comments that prove it was a serious topic, and it was take seriously enough to keep the discussion going,

...and you shut it down, and called it "trolling".....

HOW!?....or right, you don't have to explain yourself.

I mean, I'd would've expected the moderator to at least say, "You were reported many times for trolling, so the system automatically deleted your post."....at least I'd know that the readers here are the real trolls who abuse the report function, and it's just the pro-China faction pulling their Black-hat SEO shite. And you'd be blameless, except for the part as to why you didn't reinstate my post and thread after the fact, and you never explained anything at all......so that leaves the one inevitable solution....

....you're pro-China.....or worse, you're China's whore as well, where you 'love freedom', but love their money more; probably worried about the trickle effect, imo.

So here we are, having a mini-version of Activision's drama over the same thing. And the evidence is against you now.

>deletes rational topic about China, relating real world issue to the game itself.
>no explanation, except explaining the rules on why they don't have to give an explanation
>"relax"
>"I am with the Hong Kong protestors all the way"

....so prove it....put the thread back on the FFXIV board.
