Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[Saefinn]

Excuse me if this already came to light, I haven't read the last... dozens of pages. It was brought to my attention late last night, that many of the players hit for advertising RP in the partyfinder were hit with a "profanity" strike or warning, example: "E/RP 18+". Many of these venues being advertised were both regular RP, AND ERP in one. The GM(s) look to be blanket banning advertisements via the partyfinder, with the intent on getting rid of ERP specifically. They seem to have gone scorched earth in the process however.

Nothing the GM has said or done suggests ERP, this is a separate assumption.

But yes non-ERP advertisers have been targets and seems scorched earth.

The reasoning give was that PF is not for social use, which is contradicted by statements from other GM's and that it's fine as long as they don't break ToS.

The GM's suggestions also included using /sh and by proxy would mean more ERP shouts and would be more in public view than PF listings. So it's not even as if they're clamping down on ERP advertising.
