RP shout ads are obstructive to chat and gameplay

[TBerry]

Have any of these people ever tried saying "no", when approached? Or when they are roleplayers, try to solve the situation in character instead of immediately throwing a hissy fit?
Have people tried to... you know, roleplay with anyother character before they just try to godmode their way to ERP? Or stay in-character for more than 5 minutes?
RP on NA servers appears atrocious. Only people who either want to sext or extract Gil from other players.

That being said:
Entering into any RP venue you consent to the possibility that disturbing or sexual scenes may unfold.
On Chaos, it is good practice to inform the player, and said player has to give consent. A good way to do this is to simply write it in the venue description, for example "There might be the chance of your character being pick-pocketed, scammed or otherwise harmed".
Most of the time ERP in public isn't allowed either. So you can't Balmung your way to ERP, but actually have to talk to a character in-character, and see where this goes, then go somewhere else.

Nothing sexual is being publicly advertised, if it were they'd be banned. That's how I know you're making up nonsense, lol.

then why does it say 18+ again mental gymnastics

I never said the SHOULD be exposed to it, but I don't think it's the end of the world if they are. The whole "save the children" spiel is tired and pointless. The fact of the matter is minors are exposed to this stuff everywhere they go. There comes a point where you realize it is fruitless to try to stop or ban it. Only thing you can do is try to educate your children and let them make their own decisions and their own mistakes.

I think trying to go all puritanical and ban adults from enjoying the game in their own way, in private, is an exercise in missing the point. A minor being exposed to the adult community in this game is not something worth being so upset about.

it ain't that hard and it's not fruitless, would you make the same excuses for someone who was being toxic or would you claim that banning them hasn't made the community in game to be less toxic?

Y'know ... Im done commenting here. So many of you are straight up gaslighting and making stuff up that you're not even worth my time. Behave appropriately in game is literally all people ask and that's met with strawman arguments and harassment. Very few people even attempted to seek a solution that works for all, which was the point. Props to those who did, and to those who came here to argue and be toxic .. I'm starting to think it's you guys who need adult supervision on the internet. Absolutely sickening, immature, obnoxious behavior. You should be ashamed of yourselves and try to grow up. It's clear many of you don't have kids

Instead of being a parent, you've taken to the forums. You've presented no good arguments and verbally attacked anyone who disagreed with your outlandish arguments.

Watch what your kid does, educate them better, don't let your kid play the game, unsub. You've got plenty of immediate options.

And the real pro tip, take a lesson from peta. No one disagrees with treating animals better but the delivery and disingenuous arguments only serve to fuel pointless arguments and push support away from you.

Put rp shout spam into a separate channel or update tos, put rp venue into a blockable social pf tab. Boom, I solved it for you, no one would disagree with it, and I didn't need to exaggerate or strawman to do it.

You're welcome.

The thing is, yes, it was, before it was completely derailed from spam problem into "think about the children".
As atrocious as NA RP scene seems to be, you have to ralize that no one is obligated to go to these venues.
Visit at own risk, one could say.

Are there no mods on this forum that close threads?

It's really not an actual problem at all. The real problem is people that think no one else should be allowed to enjoy something they don't like. On this forum alone are tons of examples of said behavior displaying copious amounts of flawed logic and attempts to weaponize children and disabilities in hopes of getting what they want.

I know. This is a perfect example of people trying to push a certain narrative.
One the one hand, I can understand that these shout advertisements can be annoying, and apparently paid shouters and nightclub owners even engage in harassment to to push other venues out. And I personally don't like these kind of venues either. Just... people trying to extort Gil out of you, and people just thinking they get a free pass on being creeps, and breaking every single roleplay guideline under the sun.
On the other hand, these kinds of people don't seem to care about anything other than pushing their own narrative, and try to shift blame to others for their own failings. If a venue is 18+, and clearly advertised as such, there will be 18+ content and themes. These people are no better than the former.
There are several host clubs on Omega, they are 18+, but that's because of the very nature of that club. ERP is not allowed there, and the hosts themselves will not engage in such.

Believe me, I'm not having any of that purity wank.

[TBerry]

you keep doing the same mental gymnastics, when the erp guys make an ad and say 18+ what do they mean?

Anyone under 18 should stay out.
