rpanons | Your privilege at any time is only as strong as the wifi signal

Rundown:

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.

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.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

I agree with what others said on apps and would like to see the following stuff.

Get rid of history, instead just do something where you link to general info on the canon. Mostly this is to know it is a legit canon and a rough idea about the canon if the mods need it.

Personality and abilities definitely should remain. Samples should be changed up to allow options for ways of doing it. Requiring threads in the test drive is one good idea, but honestly may have some issues. I'd rather see something like people can choose to link a thread, do a thread with a mod or current player, or do an IC Q&A like Luceti and some other games have. I love Luceti's Q&As because they are tailored to the character and usually give at least one question that will make the character squirm a bit in answering.

Add in a section for suitability and things you can see your character doing in the game. Most players don't think about what their character will do beyond their intro post, and that's why so many end up dropping within a month or two. Require players to give a few paragraphs on how they think their character will adapt to the setting and what will the player/character do to ensure that the character is active enough to make AC after the first month. Nothing in this will be set in stone since the CR the character gains can be a large factor to determine how well they will adapt, but having an idea of things your character would get involved in and how they'd adapt to the setting not only makes sure that the player thought about more than just apping in to a cast or with their friends, but also that they actually read the info about the setting.
