What is ERP?

[Penthea]

To be fair, until recently, most of the ERP venues weren't advertised on the Party Finder. And from what I've heard for some people, second hand (so I can't really state if its true), is that the biggest "promoter" you'll see on Party Finder (at least on Primal) wasn't even originally involved with the community; they basically read the Kotaku article and shifted the focus of their FC to providing ERP, for the lulz and gil... Even alienating old members. I.E.: They are absolutely grifters, on all accounts.

All the more reason to forbid advertising erp in PF.

I won't disagree. The only issue I had, is the people who make arguments that no RP should be advertised in the Party Finder, or that was totally alright that standard role-players got caught in the crossfire. That was sadly something that was a thing in the other thread and I can't agree with that.

Completely agree. I think people should be able to use PF for whatever content they wish to do in a group as long as that content doesn't have any sexual or anti-social activity (anti-social meaning harassment in this context). A line needs to be drawn somewhere and I personally feel that should be the line.

I tend to agree with that GM, RP shouldn't be advertised in PF either, but at the very least SE should deal with the blatant adult listings. RPers should be asking for more social features, so we all can have a better curated experience.

I'm going to ask; why? While I would absolutely love more social features, considering the stuff we having isn't the most antiquate... But I'm curious as to why it's problematic, in your opinion, that someone advertises in the Party Finder's "other" section?

I don't care if things are advertised unless that advertisement is for adult content in a game that welcomes teens.

I'm sorry, there is no further justification needed. Any defense of that action by players is despicable.

I'd like you to point out where I'm defending that sort of advertisement. I've made it pretty clear I don't believe it should be advertised in the party finder. I'm not questioning or defending it. I'm just curious as to why non-explicit content can't be advertised. That's what the person said.

Since it's not possible for a GM or player to determine what is 18+ NSFW and 18+ "I hate kids" then perhaps it's best to just nuke it all.

I'm not entirely on board with that just yet, but I'm starting to think that's the best solution. I understand the non-erp players want to disavow the ERP side when convenient, but that just makes the public ERP players rules lawyer their way behind the RP players to hide.

A purge may be necessary.

Simple. Organization; a better curated experience. New and improved social features would be better for all. This would allow the PF to be less cluttered, and with something like a "social" finder implemented it would (if done right) make it easier and more efficient for players looking for social interaction, venues, etc.
