PERSONAL BLOG ETIQUETTE;;
Iāve been seeing a lot of rpers on my dash complaining about personal blogs reblogging rp-related posts and I think either these personal bloggers are new to the rp scene and have no idea whatās going on or they just donāt care. Which I hope the latter isnāt the case, but! I figured since I have so many personal blogs following this account that I would make a small little post about etiquette.
ONE;
DO NOT REBLOG ROLEPLAYS. A lot of rpers use thread trackers and reblogging the roleplays messes those trackers up. Not only that, but for rpers like me⦠I donāt really want personal blogs reblogging my roleplays for privacy reasons, I suppose. It just makes me anxious when that happens! Personally, for me, itās fine if you like a roleplay post, but I do know some people donāt like that.
TWO;
READ THE RULES. Some roleplayers have rules up for a reason and while most rpers know to read rules before engaging in a thread, personal blogs arenāt always aware of this and may do something against the rules. Some rpers may not have rules up for personal bloggers following them, so just ask to make sure. :)
THREE;
READ THE TAGS. Check the tags before you like or reblog a post. An rper might have made a tag stating that itās not okay to reblog or like a certain post. For me, I typically tag posts I donāt want reblogged asĀ āDO NOT REBLOGā which means I donāt want anyone to reblog it andĀ āPERSONALS DO NOT REBLOGā which means I do not want any personals reblogging. Some people also putĀ āOKAY TO REBLOGā or something along those lines, which makes it clear that you can reblog it.
FOUR;
DO NOT REBLOG ANYTHING RP RELATED UNLESS THE RPER GIVES THE OKAY! By this, I mean things like ask memes, headcanons, drabbles, doodles, etc. I guess it seems like a repeat of number one, but itās different in the sense that some rpers arenāt okay with you reblogging asks, ask meme answers, etc.
FIVE;
IF YOUāRE NOT SURE, JUST ASK. The golden rule, honestly. If you are not sure if you can reblog and/or like something, just ask the rper! We donāt bite and we would sincerely appreciate if you asked us to clear up any confusion.
At first, I thought it was a little strange that personal blogs were following me; itās never happened to me before! But, I L O V E being able to interact with you guys through anon asks and stuff, itās actually a lot of fun and gives me a sense of pride that you guys like me enough to follow me and interact with me! :D I think itās amazing that you guys want to take part in the rp community and I know Iām not the only one who is grateful for the love and support you guys show us by your questions, likes, etc. But, sometimes having personal followers is a downfall, but only when it comes to stuff like this. But, thatās okay, because you guys may not know! And now you do! I really hope you took the time to read this <3 Please continue to support and encourage us and we will try our best to keep you entertained!
