Posting 35 pages late to the party but I just regained access to this site and have been catching up with my favourite thread on ffxiah.
I'm currently living and working in China and FFXIAH.com is Chinese govt filter banned here. No joke, Alla is fine by the Chinese, Bluegartr is fine by the Chinese, ffxiah.com is not, as is FFXI itself.
What I'm trying to say is don't take your freedom of speech for granted on here. If this site is considered inflammatory enough to garner the attention of the Chinese authorities it most likely allows you much greater freedoms than you appreciate.
I would post a lolpic to detract from my bitter distaste at being prevented from playing my favourite game and reading one of my favourite forums, but I don't enjoy the freedom of browsing whatever I want to.

Not a strong argument... China bans a lot of weird off the wall ***.. And those *** over at Alla are 10x worse than anything ever posted here. Hell maybe that's why it's allowed in the first place... China wants people interested in MMOs to see it's full of *** and elitists, and to help detract from their own governmental ***-dom.

Alla tends not to deviate from the topic off FFXI though, whereas this site is as much about FFXI as it is about discussing topics unrelated to the game.
Unrelated, the Chinese govt recently attempted to placate its people over their high gas prices by saying that gas isn't expensive here, it's just tax that makes it high. Right, so you expect your people to be jubilant that China buys its gas cheap and the consumer only gets charged a lot because of the govt?
Crazy people trying to say the worlds ending, good people taken away and the bad stay until the world is destroyed.
So like, is the world due to be destroyed immediately after all the good people leave, or like, is it until the world is destroyed by... like... whatever. 'Cause if it's the latter, I'm all for this rapture business, rid the whole world of all the most dedicated religious people (I'm counting on Jesus/God/Allah/Flying Spaghetti Monster all being the same entity here, with all religions ultimately being the "correct" religion) leaving behind only us "sinners". Works for me!

What? No more mormons/jahovah's witnesses coming to my door? sounds like a pretty good deal to me!
Our puppy (she's like, 10 years old or something, but she's still a puppy!) is also a pirate, but the only pics I can find are from before her pirating days.

I'm adopted myself and honestly, ive never wanted to *** slap someone so hard. Seriously, its not that big of a deal. Tell your kids they are adopted right off the bat. Dont f**king wait for the right moment because there will never be one. Godddd!!! I think what makes me mad is that once again, you have an emotional parent blaming something on a video game.

Have you seen the Religious forum thread about Portal 2? It's frigging hilarious.

Due to the new forum rules, the old thread is being nuked. It's over 900 pages long, and there are numerous offending posts in it. And by numerous, I mean probably at LEAST one per page. Not including quotes.
Take the time to read through the below forum rules if you already have not. Remember, intentionally bypassing the profanity filter is not allowed.
Forum.Rules said:
We are implementing a global profanity filter for all users under 13, and for users not logged in. As we no longer ask for birthdays at registration, this means it will apply to all new users as well. (You can no longer verify your age, and the profanity filter option has not been added to account options yet.)
- Slurs based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or similar protected statuses are not permitted, even in jest, or even by members of the same group.
- All sexual content now falls under "American network television" rules. While this naturally involves a certain gray area, if you won't see it on standard television (not cable), don't post it. (If you're not sure, don't post it.)
- Overly hostile and repeat attacks against a given user which would normally fall under harassment policies in-game will no longer be allowed.
- Posting any personal real-life identifiable information or images about a particular user without their permission is not allowed, unless they have previously posted it here.
- Player Warnings are no longer permitted. (This includes posting it in an already existing thread.)
- Do not link to or advertise external sites for blatant 3rd party hacks and tools that would probably get you immediately banned from FFXI/XIV. Guildwork Client and Windower are ok.
- These policies apply to all sections of the site: forum, item and player comments, screenshots, avatars, etc. Images violating any of the above rules will be removed if discovered by an admin or mod.
I will lock the other thread for now to give users time to save their favorites. It will be trashed this afternoon or tomorrow.
Edit: Do not expect a moderator to take the time to edit your post to remove a single image bypassing the profanity filter. If that is done, it is as a courtesy, not a requirement. If you are derailing or attacking someone, you risk your post being deleted regardless of including a picture in it.
Those that bypass the profanity filter risk being topicbanned. There is a profanity list. If you can't take the time to read it, then don't post images.
