Guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Umbra told me to post this here so I'm posting it here. Everyday I might not post but I do go through and read all the threads on the rp section. Everyday there are new threads by the same people (Your only allowed 2), millions of one line posts and people who don't even know what rp means. These things are usually seen by the new members who don't know what they are doing or just want to increase their post counts. I've tried being nice and trying to help them improve and now I'm just SICK of this spam, the threads are getting flooded by posts with horrid grammar and it is just horrible. Most of you probably don't even care since you don't go into the rp section but I still think this should be said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I agree. Want to know my definitiojn of a Good Post and Bad Post? Bad Post: "I am going to kill you now" James Said as he brought out his gun.Yes the Post made sense but there was no Tension, No Action and worst of all it was one line. Good Post: James suddenly stared at the man with a angry expression on his face, He bought out his .44 Magnum and aimed it at the other man's head. "Any Last requests?" James asked as he cocked the gun ready to take a shot. James wasn't going to let this man go. He had hurt many people and was deserving of this punishment. He awaited the Man's response as a Bead of sweat dripped down his face and to the floor.Notice the amount of Tension here? This man is about to have a Magnum bullet in his skull unless he has a pretty damn good reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogeta™ Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I thought the limit was 4 threads. I know I have 2 going right now another one I passed on to some one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VainZiler Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Chaos! You're still here! And I highly agree with you; it's the only thing stopping me from returning the RP section. Perhaps we could request an actual literate role-play sub forum, designed for those of us who enjoy a bit more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodrun Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 ok, well now you have your glimpse of how the world is NOT PERFECTmost of the people creating these role playseither are not even in high school, or just getting to itdont expect them to know how to write a proper detailed sentence -.-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Altair Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Ew. Spam. Spam is always horrible. like yours. I believe you should become a mod, Chaosism anyone? tbh RP needs it's own section under the Fan Fic Section and also a better solution would be to make you or Umbra a mod of that section.

Guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Umbra is mod of both fanfic and rp but I did have a petition for the rp section to move and alot of the mods I talked to said that whenever YCM looks at it it will probably be moved, Umbra isn't always on and also has two sections, I do try to help him as much as I can and I do help the people who are rping for the first time yet they don't listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Unfortunatly that would be a Bad idea...... Some people do some Fantastic Role Playing. (I've always wanted to try but the Skill of 80-90% Of the people there just plain old Suck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I would name names of the bad rpers but I am not like that, yet there are some good rpers (TO, FFR has his Moments, Stevenbray, people have told me I'm decent, SG, Meti back when he was here, God Phantom improved pretty fast, Jhuskey has his moments) It's just I try to help, Umbra and I wrote two rp guides for people to read and improve yet no one likes to pay attention to it or the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Role-Playing counts towards Post Counts right? if so, this should be stopped. If Spam is as bad as the Games Section was, maybe post counts can stop the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Spam is as bad as the Games Section was, maybe post counts can stop the problem[/quote'] That or that make it so each post needs to be 3+ lines or more in the rp section for it to count, I ok with them not counting it would just drop me down to 400 posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 true, people go their to increase there post count mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VainZiler Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 The only way I could really see a fine solution is to have a couple of mods that monitor the RP section and weed out the illiterate and moronic posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 That would be a good idea but wouldnt permabanning those people be a better solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VainZiler Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 It could be: but even a horrible role player could become an articulate master mind with practice and training. Forcing them into an environment of complete literacy makes them either learn to be literate and evolve as not only role players but as writers as well.

Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I don't mean banning people because of their horrible grammar. Maybe deleting their post would be a good idea for that. I mean members who post moronic posts that can easily be passed off as spam should be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but the kids these days don't want to take help, When I first started to rp i was like them yet I wanted to get better at it instead of just spaming threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 For one, I dont think that posts should be turned off in Role Play, beacause of the dramatic loss of posts people would have. I do support having every Roleplayer on the forum having 4 lines MINIMUM or their post will be deleted.. That sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 The reason he didn't agree is probally the face that Posts would need to be monitored closely and that requires a Mod to be there at ALL Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
