Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.


Concerns?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

I disagree and think a poll is the only method of gauging playerbase opinion here -- and that's what this comes down to, essentially. From the start I've been building a game around what other people seemed to want, which is probably a pointless attempt but one I've tried all the same. I want the people who play in the game to be comfortable and happy, and it seems to me that the best way to do this is to, well, ask.

In-character justification is a doable solution, and I appreciate your input. Should the rule end up remaining, I'll be sure to go in and made some changes by adding in something to the IC rule section and FAQ.

Thank you very much.

You're free to do what you want of course, but as far as playerbase goes, remember that's not a static group. Your playerbase changes over time, and a poll is only going to give you a snapshot of one moment which might not end up being very representative of the playerbase in one or two months time. Or, if you think of it differently, it gives you a snapshot of one moment which then starts to define everything after, since it will attract some people and keep others away, so it kind of becomes self-enforcing.

Good luck coming up with a solution that will work for you guys and the game though!
