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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

stop tagging all my characters and dropping every thread the moment things start to progress into anything of substance. it's annoying and ur flaky as shit so I'd rather you not tag me or get my hopes up at all.

Just stop tagging them back.

tell them this.

i say this as someone who has told two flakes i didn't want to rp with them anymore because of how bad they were at dropping and flaking on shit: it feels good to put it out there, you never have to deal with their false promises again, and in some cases, it's a wake-up call to the person flaking.

ayrt I would consider it if they weren't already severely depressed. as someone who also struggles with MH I don't want to be a cause for worsening theirs.

nayrt, i personally think it's fine to say it. most of us deal with our own mh, afaik, and in a community where prefs and permissions are emphasized every day of the year, we should be able to handle and respect if somebody doesn't want to interact with us or has limited time and patience they are trying to make the most of with one of their hobbies. if you're really worried, convey it in the nicest way possible. "i don't think we're compatible bc of time/schedule differences." or like ayrt said, the more direct and honest, the more it allows them to reflect and be better, if not at least more considerate going forward. as in, ia with ayrt and think ripping off the bandaid is better for everyone, but if you don't feel comfortable with it, there's your out. and tbh, even when being direct, that doesn't mean you have to be a dick or anything, just be you and be honest. you can't really go wrong with that, imho.

also, your mh is just as important, esp since you're a person, not a fun or copium dispenser that exists for their personal enjoyment, and i don't doubt they know that. besides, there is a huge difference between intentionally being a pos that wants to hurt someone else's feelings and kindly informing someone of your own personal limits. and similarly, sure, maybe they weren't trying to intentionally be shitty to you by flaking, but they have hurt your feelings and it's okay to tell them that. how they choose to respond is entirely on them, not you.

you are never responsible for another person's mental health unless you're actively abusing and mistreating them.

"telling them something they don't want to hear" is not abusing and mistreating them. the idea that you have to silently endure things just to spare somebody's feelings because they have mh problems is not healthy or helpful
