Noffletoff: Kotaku reports ban in Final Fantasy XIV mod communities after CSAM allegations

According to Kotaku, the allegations involve CSAM discussions, an invite-only chatroom, and a Matrix server. The site stresses that these are allegations and not facts independently established by Kotaku.

What happened

Kotaku published an article on September 25, 2026, saying that multiple Final Fantasy XIV mod communities have distanced themselves from Noffletoff. In the piece, the creator is described as a well-known NSFW modder in the Final Fantasy XIV scene. Kotaku links that reaction to a broader discussion about mod culture and how communities handle alleged misconduct by creators.

The reporting was prompted by a YouTube video from Chunni Doll, which claims that Noffletoff and several other Final Fantasy XIV players were involved in conversations about and sharing CSAM. Kotaku also says it reviewed a Proton document containing screenshots of chat logs, with victim names and explicit descriptions censored. The available source notes also say the video describes how several large Final Fantasy XIV mod communities took steps to remove work by a popular NSFW mod creator after the chat logs surfaced.

According to Kotaku, the conversations took place in an invite-only chatroom inside a larger Matrix server centered on loli and shotacon content. The publication also says the logs suggest the people involved may have viewed content and may have shared material via Session. Kotaku presents those points cautiously and frames them as part of the allegations, not as independently proven facts.

Kotaku further reports that Matrix administrators were notified, shut down the server, and banned the alleged participants. The provided sources do not confirm which specific Final Fantasy XIV mod communities removed Noffletoff’s work, or whether the accused people responded publicly. It also remains unclear whether the removals were carried out by individual community owners, moderators, or server administrators.

Background

Noffletoff is described in the source as the creator of several paid Final Fantasy XI V body and animation mods used to make NSFW content for Final Fantasy XIV. That places the story in a niche corner of the mod scene where paid creations, adult content, and community moderation overlap. The provided sources do not confirm any official response from Square Enix to these specific allegations, and there is also no direct confirmation in the material of a formal internal investigation by the publisher.

The only additional source in the set is a YouTube video by Chunni Doll, described as saying that several major Final Fantasy XIV mod communities took steps to remove work by a popular NSFW mod creator after exposed chat logs. In the available information, that video mainly serves as context for the allegations. Kotaku uses the video together with the Proton document as the basis for its reporting, but the publication emphasizes that the underlying claims are not presented as proven by Kotaku itself.

The external context also includes an official Square Enix text about mod use and culture on The Lodestone, plus a later summary of Yoshi-P’s response to the broader mod controversy. That context concerns Square Enix’s general stance on mods, not a confirmed response to Noffletoff specifically. The available context also mentions a Matrix background source, but that refers to a different service shut down by police action and not the server in the Kotaku story. Because of that, the Matrix reference in this article should be limited strictly to what Kotaku reports about the alleged server and its subsequent shutdown.
