Community Standards & Removal Policy
FF14 Events is a community-first platform. We reserve the right to remove any participant, venue, event, or user — and revoke access to the platform entirely — where their conduct, whether on or off the platform, is determined to be harmful to the community or its members.
This includes, but is not limited to, conduct involving:
- Discrimination or hate: racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, ableism, or any form of targeted discrimination against individuals or groups
- Harassment or abuse: sustained or targeted harassment of community members, whether publicly or privately
- Predatory behaviour: grooming, manipulation, or exploitation of community members
- Deliberate harm: actions intended to damage the reputation, safety, or wellbeing of individuals within the FFXIV community
We do not require that misconduct occur on FF14 Events itself. Where credible evidence of harmful off-platform conduct comes to our attention, we reserve the right to act in the best interests of the community. Removal decisions of this nature rest solely with the FF14 Events administration team and are final.
