OOC Roleplay Post Guidelines

[Neri 3590]

All posts in the Roleplay Forum and it's relative sub-forums must:

 

1. Be either in character or following a narrative of some description.
2. Not contain the thoughts of a character unless it's part of a narrative story.
3. Not be by an anonymous, non-existent character.
4. Not be purely OOC unless it's asking for clarification on something in the post.
5. Not be a 'First' or '+1' post. We have a +1 button on posts for that! You're allowed to give critique or feedback in addition to a RP post, though!
6. Abide by roleplay chat rules that are enforced ingame (Metagaming, Powergaming, etc.)

 

Failure to follow these rules once will simply result in your post being hidden. Multiple infractions of the rules will result in verbal warnings, and eventually warning points. 

 

What does this mean, and why the change?

Roleplay posts recently, and for the longest time, have been plagued with thinly-veiled OOC jabs, trolling, and general bad sportsmanship through minimal effort RP. FM's have been handing out punishments for this, but, punished players have been complaining that such behavior isn't really covered by the forum rules. So, these are the rules governing RP posts.

 

The new rules will likely be integrated into the true Forum Rules next time they're updated.

 

Overall, it's pretty simple, just keep it in roleplay.
