During the course of an RP, two people get into a dispute. One is claiming the other godmodded them and the other is denying it, saying that the first one has been doing much more than that and nothing was raised against them at that time. The GM of the RP steps in, but doesn't succeed in settling things down. At the same time, both of the two RPers PM you about the other being unfair. What do you do?

It is a roleplay, so everything is documented. It is easy enough to scroll through the posts to see if one godmodded the other. If so, he should be given a warning and have godmodding explained to him in detail, so he knows what he is guilty of. I would also go back and check to see if the other is guilty of what he is excused of. If he is he would be warned and have what he did wrong explained to him as well. On top of that, I'd message the GM of the RP. It should be his job to uphold the rules in the first place, and it that whole situation most likely could have been avoided if he had caught the first offender.

How is my answer, critics of the world?

Okay

Humen?

D___ move. Most RP's can't be started within one week, as it takes times to get Profiles up, answer questions, hell, it takes time for people to see it. If the RP meets all the requirements, has a steady plot, and looks good? That should be proof enough that he can handle it. It's just flat out a jerk move to give him a timelimit simply because he's new, or you haven't seen much from him.

TrainerX:
This one is for Humen:

Alright, so let's say there is an RP currently running. The GM has set specific standards for the profiles. The GM requests that everybody must provide a detailed written description of their character's appearance (pictures are not allowed). He/She has asked that those who wish to join the RP send their profile in a PM for approval. The GM wishes to post the accepted profile in a designated profile thread, where only they are allowed to post, so that they can keep things organized. Let's say that a new forum member posts a profile in the profiles thread, and that this profile does not meet the standards the GM has set(There is no written description of the character.). The new member then immediately posts in the IC thread. What do you do?

Humen:
So apparently i haven't talked with Joe long enough for him to realize when i'm in Sarcasm mode

Oh Dear it appears even Jerry couldn't tell i was joking XD

I've seen the process of making an RP enough times to know u don't force a person into starting RP and with the scenario Jerry gave its pretty obvious the RP was just awaiting approval from the Mod.

@Toast:

TBH that sounds more like a issue with the GM and that new member. Now if the GM needs me to delete the two post made by that person sure im up for that but the GM should be the one to (i'd assume) warn the guy of what he's done and to remake his profile.

For the most part, I'd say it's totally reasonable, and usually the way that things would go without much fuss. But if you want to be really critical on that, then...

It is indeed the job of the GM to keep an eye on those things, but you also need to check the rules within the particular RP before looking anywhere else. For instance, it's fine if a GM decides that a certain level of godmodding is allowed in a particular RP. The global rules are there by default (i.e. applies if an RP doesn't have its specific rules), but if a GM decides that an RP will be better by giving some more leeway, then you need to check that out first.

In such a situation, it becomes much more complicated to see who to point the finger to. Sure, the GM is responsible; it's his RP yada yada, and will likely try to say that there's nothing wrong, the rules allowed for that amount of godmodding since he wouldn't want his RP to stop because of one person. Now of course, it will likely be a different thing in a real situation too, since most of the time, you will either see the rules on the first post, or someone will point it out sooner or later, but if it happens later (I don't think something like that will happen, but just to elaborate a bit on that), then you could have given a warning too soon.

Well, joke or not, I don't usually give obvious questions, and while you've got the gist of it (I'm sure most people would), you didn't get the whole picture :P There are few moderators, but many members. There should be at least a little something that differentiates the two after all, otherwise, everyone would be moderator and chaos would ensue.
