What is ERP?

[Saefinn]

I'll admit I'm ignorant to such "for the lulz" and gil dealings and aforementioned types of PF mentioned being the bulk of it as yeah I can probably then concede and say, maybe PF is not the best place for such things. ERP postings outside of that I'm on the fence for, if SE decided to action on those, I'd probably get why.

But I am in support of any venues who do the responsible thing and heck, self police to the point they oust people doing the wrong thing. And I don't think ERP should get the stigma it has on the basis it's consensual and between adults and of course, executed in private as it's not an adult game, which they tend to anyway.

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.

Whilst I don't see a problem with it & I think it can be very useful for that purpose, I can agree that better social features should be pushed and may be better, because if anything it's a good compromise between those who find PF useful for this purpose and rely on it to a degree AND not annoy those who don't like to see the PF full of social events advertisements. Whilst I don't 'get' the hard objection, but at the same time we're not here to try to make anybody have be a bad time and better social features if anything is a good compromise.

One thing I suggested in that monster of a thread is to have a "social events" feature of the Fellowship Finder where fellowships can advertise public events in an "Upcoming Events" section and I think with matching tags too. If anything it'd encourage more use of the Fellowship Finder overall and add benefit to what is currently a weak system. Something similar is already done across RP communities outside the scope of the game itself (And emphasis on "social" it doesn't just have to be for RP use and benefit non-RPers)
