Unfunny wanky stereotypes

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.

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.

false.

i'm in games where you're encouraged to tag both the posts you make and the ones you comment to. as pointed down below, there's no real "hiding" the posts you make, but i don't like to tag the posts i comment into, because i've been subjected to tantrums of 'why are you tagging X and not ME ME ME ME RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW hdu tag out instead of always prioritizing my threads!!!!' . this way, i avoid unwanted attention.

i also know of people who tag selectively, only tagging those posts where their characters've had massive development, as it's easier for them to reconstruct the key points of the progress of their characterization.

You know, the major advantage comm based games have is tags making it easy to find posts. If people don't tag posts then it's harder to find a post than in a journal based game.

you can find the posts someone makes by typing in commurl/?poster=username very easily. it's tagging posts i comment to that i try to avoid because of the reason i just gave.

you might not think it's a good reason, but i've been on the receiving end of enough whinging that i've kind of learned that this methods spares me quite a bit of grief. it's not foolproof, naturally: clingy morons can stumble upon my threads if they comment to the same post, or if someone else plurks about the thread in any capacity - but it minimizes that risk.

sorry to put it this way, but (general) your ease of finding my threads doesn't trump my overall rp comfort. and like i said - if it's a game rule to tag, then that's that, i do it (or i reconsider joining the game, though i can't think that'd ever be a decisive factor for me).

I usually don't tag my replies until the thread is long enough for AC requirements.
