Popular Post graceomalley 26 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 Admins who put time limits on face reserves for others while having anywhere from 2-12 face reserves for themselves without a time limit. Additionally, requiring multiple posts a month when half of them don't even bother with that on one character. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, requiring multiple posts a month when half of them don't even bother with that on one character. Typical "do as I say, not as I do" bs. A long time ago, when I was doing an advertising spree, I came across an inactive site with a big rant as an announcement thread. So I clicked it, and it was the admin raving about how too many people were making X type of character, and how admin should be the only one with that kind of character. It was basically a rant about how they wanted to be the center of attention with this big bad hero status, and whining that people were daring to make similar character tropes. Needless to say, it's no wonder the place died. 3 ☩ FORGE - GUNPOWDER FANTASY ☩ ☢ VECTOR - CYBERPUNK / SPACE WESTERN ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Sherwood 1 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Aging up a canon by a year so this person could put the canon in a -legal- relationship with a guy twice their age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 18 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I always get a huge kick out of folks bringing in canon characters (we're a supernatural fantasy RP, so they bring in... you know, someone from Supernatural, which we're not about) but lightly disguised. Often with the same face claim. Cracks me up every time. Edited March 14, 2020 by Drew 2 a lively supernatural RPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddiffer 1 Share Posted July 7, 2021 When a writing sample is requested, I find very few people actually send one. I'm not quite sure why. How does the moon cut his hair? Eclipse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion 33 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Powerplay. Always. I get a mistake once or twice, but it’s the basics of roleplay. That freedom of choice and mystery is what makes forum RP special. Let’s keep it that way. owner of some website ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gereth Yaztromo 1 Share Posted July 7, 2021 When the site says 'must be 18+ to join' and then people ask in the site Discord something like 'it says I have to be 18+ to join... can I still join' or something like that where they're not old enough and not bold enough to lie about it.

Lost Boy 18 Share Posted May 19, 2022 When I join a site and staff has over 10 characters and has a rule that all characters of every member must have at least one post bi-weekly. Then proceed to only post on 1 or 2 characters and the other's haven't posted at all or even been logged into for a month. Having Activity Checks but immediately exempting staff and their friend's characters from it. Or, if only a handful of people post in the AC and the majority of the RP didn't, adding all of them but the new people or those that annoy the staff to the exempt list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrator 7 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Canon hoarding. i.e. people who adopt canons to either never actually roleplay them OR who only want to roleplay them with their own characters (or maybe one other friend) but won't allow those canons to interact with anyone else. It's fine in 1x1 settings but when you're part of a group, you need to interact and collaborate with others. 😂 site | discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntandmoon 5 Share Posted August 13, 2023 The primary limitation was 'vaguely humanoid'. Could be an anthro, a human, a mech, an elf, a centaur, a ghost, a faun, made-up aliens... They got mad they couldn't be a sentient tire. Yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rie 4 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Having participated in and staffed multiple Hunger Games AUs, one of my favorites is: Hunger Games Rule (paraphrasing here): Only one can win. Odds are, your tribute will die. It's not personal. Please don't contact staff when you die and ask to be revived or Games rules to be changed. Player: I can't believe YOU killed ME! It's still the bloodbath! I didn't even get a chance to play! Can't something be worked out? Also want to second (or third or fourth) the comments about age requirements (yes, we require 18+, no we won't back off that just because you are a stellar writer. Come back when 18.) and the ones about "would know the answer if you read the rules." Happens way too often, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus 6 Share Posted January 5 someone joining the site and then consistently asking questions that are stated in the rules and are redirected to the rules multiple times, only to not read them at all. and then go on to break rules because they didn't read any rules regarding the system they're using. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
