Make that anon suffer

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

hi newbie!

the main reason people care about IP logging is if they're looking to leave anonymous crit on your journal HMD (a very rarely-used RP feedback post).

but tbh, it's very hard to accurately track anyone from IP, especially with the ease of VPNs and IP-swaps these days. and very rarely is anyone nuts enough to stalk someone from it.

so if you do something majorly wanky, someone might complain about how you have ~IP-logging on so they can't leave crit~. otherwise no one will care. enable or disable it at your own discretion.

good luck! dreamwidth gets bent out of shape about a lot of arbitrary things -- you'll find it's not very different from forum rp that way. try not to worry about it, you'll learn the conventions over time and anyone worth playing with won't be upset at you about them.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I'm not planning on doing anything wanky (but who actually plans to, right?). And even if I were, tracking by IP address seems like way too much effort to expend over playing pretend on the internet!

Dreamwidth seems pretty interesting so far, so I'm hoping my time here will be good. I'll do my best not to worry and to have fun here! :)
