Role Play Spamming

While I like to encourage community activism, the role play threads have gotten out of hand. There is a multitude of threads devoted to the same discussion - RP idea threads, who is interested threads, introduction threads, sign up threads, and finally the RP thread itself... *It's clogging up the forums.

From here on out, all duplicate threads will be locked/deleted on sight, including sign up threads.

• If you want sign ups to happen separately from your RP, then do it in the RP leader's blog or in a clan blog.
• Idea threads will be closed/deleted too - if you don't have a good idea then no one will join it and you know to move onto a different idea (and if you can't think of a good idea you probably don't need to be leading an RP in the first place).
• There is no need for a "who is interested" thread because if they're not interested they won't join in the first place!

Role Play discussions may only have 1 thread total.

Just make this up now did ya?

Thanks so much for posting it, hopefully this will gather some attention.

Common RP Process:

• "Is this a good idea?" Thread
• "Would you be interested in joining?" Thread
• "RP Sign Ups" Thread
• "Plot Discussion" Thread
• Actual RP Thread

Also, I've seen people who make 3+ of the same RP thread, probably because they hit submit, didn't load for their browser quick enough, then went back, renamed it, submitted it again, etc... Goodness, people need to slow down.

I did a search and there are over 3000 posts devoted to sign ups, and when there's an average of 12 people posting in each sign up that makes for a LOT of duplicate threads for the same thing. *It's all clutter.

yes i know he did rp but hes not anymore well at least on HR and the only time i saw you rp was a long time ago no offence

Last RP I did was.. Eh, a month ago, two, more or less. Is that so long? And so what, even if we've ever RPed... That means we understand it, because I'm pretty sure things haven't changed so drastically from a month ago.

I've never role played in forums, especially not Hokage's Room. *I did it in a chatroom 11 years ago when I was a kid. *That website has since closed down.

Regardless, Gathering Of Ninja was being over-run by role-play threads. *A few days ago I checked and the entire first page was devoted to RP stuff because of sign ups and the actual thread, and then there were idea threads... *It's TOO much.

well the reason because of that is because when people heard HR was closing they immediately jsut stopped getting on and not even checking then when school arrived alot of people stopped coming on except rpers and alot of other people but they havent been getting on gathering of ninja just the game ones
