Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[DreadCrow]

Nah people do it because it is a perfectly sensible thing to do, with failing to do so having dire consequences potentially.

Forgive me if I don't believe that everyone posting concerns of children are being entirely genuine. When you're totally cool with actual innocent role-players getting thrown under the bus along with a few bad eggs, forgive me if I call bollocks on your concern for the kids. Since this whole issue has went far beyond people advertising ERP venues. People who were advertising all-ages venues and even a dude who just wanted to talk to someone while fishing all got hit... In general, I don't think it's a good idea to be cool with people who are not guilty to be punished along with people actually doing bad things.

And this is coming from someone who absolutely believes that ERP venues shouldn't public advertise.

So your approach is to just use the Blacklist functionality and ignore the overarching problem. Not only that then resorting to highlighting the use of a third party in order to address a problem that need I might say is against the Terms of Service.

What is the overarching problem? People using the Party Finder to meet people? 'cause as mentioned... This goes beyond ERP.

I have a genuine and thorough concern for it due to my role outside of online to do with my career, so yes, genuine concern for it. Granted, I may have been a little denigrate with the original RP'rs yesterday, but I am still a strong advocate that either the Fellowship Finder (granted it should be better) a specific subsection on the PF for RP.

I am inclined to agree with the sentiment that it isn't right for attacking people for seeking genuine social avenues, especially in times of hardship such as these, but alas, it's just unfortunate that the bad apples are lumped in with the good ones.

The overarching problem is that people are subjected to unsolicited advertisements, which can potentially expose them to vulnerable situations than they otherwise would be subjected to, especially for potentially mature content in a public space on the Party Finder. When the Terms state that you should otherwise act in accordance with the minimum age group in the game, particularly as it pertains to public spaces, you should abide by such a guideline. Whether or not this goes beyond simple ERP is irrelevant. It's a problem all the same.
