Fellow Nerrs, I come to you today to propose a proposition. I have heard both sides of the story about role-playing and RPOT. I have created a proposition that might help end this conflict.

A stickied topic would be placed in the Role Play forums and this topic would be called the Friends List. In this friends list, users can list the names of the members who they wish to Role Play with. With the names in the list, the user can mark any topic with an [F]. This [F] means that the topic is only restricted to friends of the topic creator. Now if someone wanted a few people not to be able to post in their threads but would like everyone else to, they could say that they would “friend” everybody except: [insert people’s names here]. If the topic does not have the tag at all, anyone can post in the thread.

This would help stop the random posts inside of other people’s topics, and would help keep the posts clean.

Though I think that there is another rule that many people need to remember. I call this rule, the Ignore Rule. This rule, stickied in the forums, gives users a friendly reminder that when they enter the role play forums, if they see something that they don’t like, then they should just ignore the topic and continue with their own Role Playing with those they choose to Role Play with.

This would help prevent users from leaving the forums just because someone else has a different view of Role Playing.

Now, as we all know, everyone has a different approach to Role Playing. Some may take Role Playing seriously (Role Play) and others might not take it as seriously (Role Play Off Topic). Now that’s what these forums were created for, and appropriate topics should be placed in the appropriate forums.

I believe that if we could get the moderators to enforce this proposition, then I feel that the bonds between Role Players can be once linked again, and those who previously enjoyed Role Playing can Role Play once again, and those who dislike the way the Role Playing is now, can enjoy it also. I encourage all of you to take this proposition into consideration, and if you can, bring back all those who had left because of this issue and have them take a look at this proposition.

If you have any suggestions, they are always welcome.

I'll be honest I like it, it seems kinda kiddy but it would work.

I'm not that into the "friends" thing. That could form a whole new hate game.

Nice ideas Jr. This is actually what I am doing with the new site. You can choose what people you want to see, and who you don't want to see across the entire site.

It's not about being hated or being popular, it's just a reality that at the site gets bigger, people have to form up smaller groups or it just gets too noisy and fights break out.

Nice ideas.

Also, that whole 'Weekly Theme' thing Franciso mentioned in the other topic seems like an idea I would participated in as well.
