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.

and some people aren't comfortable with someone they're no longer friendly with having access to their 'safe place'. i know that's a dumb phrase to use here, but it doesn't change the fact that locked games are locked because players want to know they can play things in a game setting without someone dragging it out into the public to mock them over (which happens all the time and is covered against on wg since it's a locked game). museboxes don't have that same guarantee other than 'why are you shitting on it, it's a musebox', so if you're no longer playing with someone, i can completely understand wanting to cover your ass and keep yourself from ridicule. not everyone is amenable in psl 'breakups'. some people are nasty about it. op seems to be pretty levelheaded and that's good to see, but there are some nasty folk out there who wouldn't hesitate to use that foot in the door to embarrass or insult someone if they were that type of person.

you might not be, and hey, yay for you, but others can be. it's just easier for some people to cover their ass and remove that kind of possibility from happening. i feel like maybe you're looking at it from your perspective, but put yourself in the situation of people with grudgewankers or stalkers or just nasty individuals. you have people that won't unfriend someone on plurk so they can just sit there and popcorn someone they hate. you have people that stalk/harass people into trying to get them to force someone to play with them because they feel entitled to that time/effort. not everyone in dwrp is levelheaded and decent.

ooh. i actually did not consider this, as i personally tend not to worry about anoncomm opinions, and most of my immediate circle doesn't have rp harassment stories. so thank you for putting it in this perspective.

it makes a lot more sense now.

i have to laugh just a little because you're on an anoncomm, voicing your opinion about the op's ex partner being a baby. even something as banal is that kind of proves my point. add someone who is genuinely nasty (which i'm not saying you are) to that equation as the other party you were playing with and it's just a really nasty potential recipe.

but thank you for the chance to have a discussion about this that didn't devolve into insults and slurs.

i just don't like the idea of rp necessarily having to come with the baggage of friendship, which is what most "we drifted apart and i got kicked from everywhere" stories tend to entail, so i felt obliged.

as someone who has recently had to deal with someone i tagged with once trying to pester me into continuing to tag with them when i didn't want to, it's not just about friendships and assumed connections. i'm not very pro bff on here and i don't get close to people, so any negative associations i've personally had haven't been from slighting someone over anything deep, but i've seen people get their feelings hurt over my not wanting to continue a single thread with them, so...

the basic rule of thumb is just to remember that like life, there are assholes on here as well. and you don't have to do anything to attract them, they're just there. and you can do everything right and still be shat on. or you could wind up being the asshole yourself because ~feelings. i dunno. people never fail to disappoint me in just how batshit they can get over the dumbest shit. it makes it easier for me to see how it can be a smart thing to take preventative measures against potential dinks.
