What is your view on RP or ERP and why is it so taboo within the community?

[Jybril]

I consider people spamming my chatlog with unwanted walls of text as harassment, so yes I would consider public RP'ing to be against the ToS if we're going to be technical about it. When spambots do the exact same thing, it's against the rules, and this is no different. It's not "don't do what I don't like", since you're perfectly free to RP in private/designated places/channels and I don't mind at all. It's "don't be rude and force me to see what you are doing when I don't want to see it." It's called respecting others.

Incorrect.
Spambots are telling you to go to some third party thing over and over and over again.
I think if so and so reported someone for roleplaying harmlessly in public to the GM's they would laugh and cry
for humanity.
