sorry that people are sick of your majestic mcus

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

Re: ADVICE FOR NEW MODS

- Do prep work. Do not write your event posts at the last minute.
- Find someone who can do basic editing. I am in several games where the repetitive writing and run on sentences make it so difficult to follow what's going on.
- Related, relaying information is a different style of writing than prose. Separate INFO and FLAVOR TEXT in your mind. Separate it in your posts. Use bold, use colors, use bullet points.
- If your co-mods aren't doing what they're supposed to, replace them.
- Make expectations clear well in advance and don't change things at the last minute. If people misunderstand or are disappointed and you think there are fair changes to make, admit to it and lay out your plan for what you're going to do better next time.
- Don't take questions on discord/plurk. Tell them to go to the FAQ where both the question and answer will be preserved for other people to see.
- Don't only announce things on discord/plurk. People do still use the OOC comm to see announcements and it's the unified place where everyone can get to it. You could even suggest people track the OOC comm/announcements tag.

I feel like I could go on all day with the shit I see people do... I'll just stop there.

+1 to editing.

If you're the main or writing mod, consider asking your other mods (helper or not) if your posts are easy to read and grasp. You want to cut down as much pointless questions as possible, because players might get confused trying to read for the relevant information.

What might make sense to YOU definitely doesn't mean the average player might get it.
