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.

psa to current mods

all i can say as a response to all this is...

current mods--

as a former mod, saying "no" is such a powerful and necessary tool

i know you want to be nice

i know you want to be accessible

i know you want to smile and nod as you say "maybe not this time" to a player who then replies with 5 paragraphs of reasoning why they're right and why they should be able to do exactly what they want to do, and how they've talked to other people (who aren't named and counted, they're never named and counted) who also think they're right

but, mod

it's your game

it's your time

it's your ecosystem that you have loved, and obsessed over, and created in stolen moments between work shifts and family commitments. that you have thought about and made calculations for far more than this player ever has -- even if they think so.

so do be nice. do be accessible. listen with open ears to complaints and take action when it's warranted. but when you know you can't give them what they want, when they start in on the paragraphs with the express purpose of wearing you down, be polite, but firm. "no. we're really not comfortable with that, and the decision is final."

don't. let them.
