Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[GaleMex]

It's a shame that an mmoRPg is punishing its own community for RPing.

I don't think anyone really gives a hoot about RPers and RPing. If you're so deeply bothered by their existence, you need to reorganize your priorities. I think the takeaway was adult-oriented (or, as some people in this thread like to fling around, ERP) roleplaying. To some extent I agree why someone would be heated about ERP in a rated T game that likely has a significant amount of teenagers playing them. Anti-ERP, even if I don't fully agree with it, is a much different stance than an anti-RP stance.

Again, that's tangential to the OP and point of this thread. People talking about E-RP instead of the issue brought up in the OP are just trolling.

If we go back to the OP though, we're not even specifically looking at ERP, but people advertising venues and social events for RP. Somebody later suggested of those that were given warnings 3 were NSFW and 2 were SFW. Meaning it's not about the ERP, but people seem to assume it's about the ERP.

Heck, a later screenshot shows a GM suggesting it's fine to use the PF for ERP but to keep the ERP private like in a party.

I think the main confusion is that what the OP highlights doesn't seem to at all be against the ToS and doesn't seem to contradict the stated us of the PF. My thought is it's a GM getting it wrong as it seems to be the same every time rather than official stance. But if it is an official stance, then well, they should define it and I guess there would be a demand for something alternative that works and Fellowship Finder is not a viable alternative.
