Election of RP moderator [Election Over]

<< < (4/9) > >>

Yume Tsuki:
Yep. the story line belongs to the gm, we moderators are available to edit a post into something completely different but that doesn't mean we should change stuff entirely. Especially for an RP, a writer has his/her personal touch. You don't just fill in the story just because you've read it somewhere in RP discussion. It's their personal story, and you shouldn't interfere in such a way. Just posting what must be improved in the story is enough.

Just think of something you have written, and suddenly someone completely changes your story just because it wasn't enough and didn't even give you a chance to revise and rework their story. Must be pretty harsh if you just do that.

Hey, you don't know how hard it is to come up with something different xD I'll find one for you, just you wait ;)

Well, I've been working on something actually, trying out on vector art, that's a sample:



I'm trying to keep it simple, with a little shinyness.

Well since I'm impatient i'mma answer Fenror and Humen's questions based on my opinion.

I would have had him wait a while and repost it. I ran an RP when I first started, and it fit the criteria of what was described well; the plot was decent enough, but I had very little understanding of the rules, and ended up doing the RP in do to my inexperience. I think it would have been more beneficial to have participated in a few RPs before attempting to start my own, so that is what I would suggest others do. (This is probably completely wrong.)

I would only resort to deleting a thread at the most drastic situations; it is a thread with just an inappropriate (happened last year, was a picture of an old mans ass posted by a brand new account), or something like that. Otherwise I'd lock it if a flame war was going on or something of the like,. from what I've seen from the site we keep old threads so people can search for them, so the same topic isn't posted twice.

I think that deleting a thread altogether isn't always the right thing to do, as RP's will close on their own once they become inactive, or they will be locked by a mod. I personally find it beneficial to go and be able to look through previous RPs that I've participated in, as well as look at characters that I've used in the past. At the same time, there are some threads that should be deleted. Generally speaking, deleting an RP thread should be done when the creation of that thread doesn't follow the rules are isn't up to the standard demanded by the section. This of course isn't the first step, though, as before deleting, or even locking, topic, the mod should discuss the issues with the RP with the GM in an attempt to fix them and create an adequate product. We don't like to see RP's fail, and before deleting a thread that does not follow the rules or is not up to standard, we should first try to fix the issues, and then proceed to delete the thread if the GM does not comply.
