Even if you are denying someone, it is advised you be civil about the denial.
Considering this, I ask all who will deny specific users from a RP to make a list of these people with reasons. The list should look something like this:
Quote:
Disallowed Users
Wild - For power-playing and being rude.
Examples of why people may be denied:
- They have been repeatedly disruptive in RPs and have broken several rules in others' RPs. (God-modding and so forth.)
- Are rude or overtly demanding and disrespect you and the other users in any way.
- That due to past experiences with this user, allowing them into your RP would likely cause OOC crossing into IC as well as cause any fights with users in the RP.
- You are no longer allowing new people or new characters. Please state you are not allowing new people and/or new characters, although.
- You have a semi-private or a private RP.
- The user's application/bio does not follow the RP or meet expectations - such as someone trying to play a wolf character in an all-dragon role-play.
- They are breaking rules of the RP.
Currently, we trust creators of RPs to have fair judgement and deny people for whatever their reasons are, as it is indeed a right for creators RPs. This may change.
If you do not want certain "levels" of role-players joining your RP, then set a rule about length, grammar, spelling, or style of RPing. For example: Please write at least 5 lines of post.
As well, using random images from the internet in your RP:
Please credit the original artist of your characters' pictures, do your best to source them or merely say "credit to original artist". If the image has the artist's signature in it, such as their deviant-art address or something, then it may be okay when it comes to sourcing.
However, this still could easily be - and in many cases is definitely - plagiarism as you are using someone's design, especially if it's for your "own" character. Due take note of this, we have had people join here due to people using their creation(s) for a RP and have told people to take it down.
If you are having trouble finding the source, do a reverse image search. If you do not know what that is, then ask here and I'll explain it for you.
Please show respect to the artists.
Any questions, feel free to ask!
