User blog:Avan Pentos/Rule Changes

I thought this is the best place to address the current changes to: Twelve's Convergence of Interest. The changes – as minuscule as they seem – are required. I cannot project my own safety, comfort and terrible naivety unto others. The reason I listed is just a small drop.
 * 1) the LGBTQ term is part of a rule. Even though I wholeheartedly support the notion the place is wrong. Under the assumption that everyone is equally treated, everyone should get the same treatment. Everyone under the rainbow is not different from that. So I moved this important fact to one section dedicated to this topic. In my opinion the overall notion is kept while addressing cross gender role playing.
 * 2) the clarification that everyone's privacy even in-game, starting with in-game references, is integral to our Linkshell. Now that requires a bit more details as to why - seemingly out of sudden - it became important:
 * 3) * Avan Pentos refers to the in-game name of Avan Pentos and everything else is just a stone's throw away using the tools of Square-Enix. Suddenly Avan Pentos might receive messages encouraging him to stop his incestuous relationship with his father in favor of his sister emphasizing how much relief his rear would feel ...
 * 4) * There are countries where any connection to LGBTQ can lead to jail or worse is life threatening. Since Final Fantasy XIV is available in those countries too, it can send unpredictable ripples into someone's otherwise safe life. I was naïve and thought that this is irrelevant to the gameplay itself. It is, as long as no cross-references from the outside can be established. This Wikia unfortunately can be abused to create unwanted connections.
