Don’t you feel the rp has too many SNS interactions but none are followed up by rp interactions like how admins have mentioned before? Many have started to ignore quality threads given to them. Wonder if you prefer a slow paced rp with quality interactions or are you guys obsessed for quantity in members that you have slackened in duties?
Honestly speaking the only difference between the statuses that you see posted in the feeds of other roleplays in comparison to the SNS posts on your feeds would be the label “[SNS].” Take it out and it’s the exact same thing. We have already touched on why ‘SNS’ posts are allowed in a separate faq that you can find in Yongguk’s last announcement listed in the ‘Admin Announcements’ group. It’s a great opportunity for those who may not normally interact with each other outside of their group to interact. People have the freedom to choose when they would like to transition from SNS to face-to-face roleplays. There is no set rule as to how they can use them. I don’t think “ignoring quality threads” is a fair way to put it. I have seen people selectively answering shorter posts either due to time constrictions or whatever may be going on in their lives OOC. A few hours or maybe days later I will see those same posts they’ve left untouched days before with replies. Being rushed to reply or do anything is a big pet peeve of mine. I do not like it when people rush me and I’m sure there are plenty of others who feel the same. When you are rushed to reply, you lose the will to roleplay especially when you have a ton of things going on OOC. When you log onto your account, the last thing you want to see after a stressful day are PMs flooding your inbox from the same person if not more bugging you to reply to your threads. It’s understandable that you’re excited to roleplay with someone but please respect the lives people have outside of roleplay. You want people to whip out their best replies, not their worst. Peoples’ best replies usually come out when they have time to sit down and actually reply. Another pet peeve of mine is when people automatically jump to conclusions about someone or something based off of small things they’ve seen, completely disregarding everything else they’ve done. What part of “obsession” with numbers do you see happening here? Does us making sure those who are inactive are removed so that others who would /like/ to roleplay here can, making sure people abide the rules, accepting applications within a timely manner mean nothing to you? Are we supposed to turn away every application that comes our way to make /you/ happy? I’m not quite sure what more you want. We cannot control how fast our role-play grows and we certainly do not have the right to turn away a deserving individual’s application to join this directory. Admin Yongguk, Irene, and I, along with Tiffany are busy individuals outside of rp though we still find time to accept applications, answer questions, etc in a timely manner. We voluntarily chose to create this space for everyone to enjoy, and we do not appreciate receiving accusatory messages such as these in our ask box. There is a difference between offering constructive criticism that can help us improve the roleplay and straight-up passive aggression. As I mentioned in the announcement earlier this morning, if you find yourself being more dissatisfied with the way things are ran here than enjoyable, do yourself a favor and find a different rp community that suits your needs better. Either that or create your own roleplay just as we had when we could find none that met our needs. If you choose to create your own and get to the point where rpers are sending in anonymous messages such as yours you’ve sent in for us, pay careful attention to how you feel because those emotions you feel in that moment is exactly how we feel.I may sound angry, but I am not. Slightly irritated, but it comes with this job. You can hate me, dislike me all you want- that’s great. You are entitled to your own opinion as I am mine. Just know that your complaints / pointing fingers at all of us here hasn’t changed a single thing. Why? Because /YOU/ are the /ONLY/ one who has the power to make your interactions better. Many rpers within our community have utilized the ‘plotting’ group we have made available for you to interact with people typically outside of your character's rp bubble: labelmates, members, etc. There is /always/ someone who is willing to role-play with you.
