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. 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.

I realise this probably doesn't make me at all anonymous, but what the hey!

As one of the people who top-levels consistently in the intro logs with a link to one of the guides, the reason I do it is partially so that the link it out there for new people to see, and partially so they can then handwave that their character has seen it and absorbed a bunch of info without having to do the info-dump question asking.

However, I certainly never intended for it to cut CR opportunities off or be unwelcoming, and am open to other suggestions to how to get the link out there to newbies. Do you have any thoughts as to how to maybe make that possible?

ask the mods to link it on app acceptance?

I'm not sure that would be appropriate because it's an IC resource, and not an officially updated mod resource.

When I've introed characters I've found it helpful for exactly this reason. "Go look at the guide" isn't a very exciting thread hook, no, but it allows you to handwave past all the basic setting information. That's especially nice when you're a current player introducing a second character, because I would have found it very boring to have to ask a bunch of questions I already knew the answers to.

My general impression has been that characters that can't / won't read the IC guides still get plenty of replies from characters willing to explain things to them (source: I play a character who has never read the guides), so it's not like the infodump threads are forbidden from happening.
