Hey guys,

Sorry, but we're going to disallow roleplaying on fandomsecrets from now on.

I know some of you enjoy it and that some of you roleplay as a response to secrets about your roleplay characters or pairings, but it causes a massive amount of scroll and pushes back actual comments from people back pages, making it harder for all the other secret posters to find responses and stuff (and with like 80 secrets to search through -- you see how this could be a problem).

fandomsecrets was meant to be an OOC community from the start: if one of you wants to start like, fandomsecretsrp or something, go right ahead, but that kind of stuff really doesn't belong here. It wasn't such a problem before (and all of us mods are also guilty of doing it once or twice, so don't think we're not in the same boat here), but it's gotten kind of bad lately, and we've had multiple complaints.

So, tl;dr version: keep it all OOC, please! Commenting with RP journals is fine if you're too lazy to log out or something, but yeah, OOC.

Thanks!

ETA: Okay, so since the idea came up: fsdressingroom to react to OOC secrets IC (as opposed to IC secrets IC, like ic_secrets). Use it!

ETA2: We're disallowing roleplay in comments, not roleplay secrets, don't worry!

Wow, for a moment I totally misread that as F!S was banning RP!secrets.

Cue me going "...what? o.O" and then re-reading.

XDD; Whoops.

sounds like a plan! i always scroll past the roleplays, but i get a bit annoyed seeing them, mainly cus i know its probably interesting but i dont wanna bother reading it all, lol!

[boogabooga-xx.livejournal.com]

that seems like a silly thing to do in the first place.

[affection.livejournal.com]

Isn't that why ic_secrets was born? Or something.

[l101386l.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but ic_secrets is IC response to IC secrets. This would be IC response to OOC secrets, which is different?

RP JOURNAL SHUT UP

[fairness.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ♥ I don't mind RP secrets (they can be entertaining!) but as someone who has no actual interest in RPing... it was annoying to scroll past it all the time. >.>;

[floralcloud.livejournal.com]

Good call. I can't relate to RP!secrets, and nobody other than the people in the RP will get it either :(

It's not like scrolling is HARD.

:(

I like the rps. They're cute. It's not like scrolling is going to eat your face, or something, rait? Rait.

Shows you how often I read the comments; I didn't even know that was going on. o.O

[bemysty.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[khym-chanur.livejournal.com]

What about "impromptu" RPing like here (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/134180.html?thread=38907172&style=mine#t38907172) and here (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/124037.html?thread=32346757#t32346757)? It'd be a shame to have to throw out stuff like that.

[l101386l.livejournal.com]

That's still technically OOC -- no one's pretending to be characters, or anything.

We mostly mean RP journal comment-spam type roleplay that scrolls the page with 50 one-liner IC comments -- you know what I mean, right?

[officialbizness.livejournal.com]

... didn't we already have ic_secrets?

IN B4 ROLEPLAY WANK AND BAWW-AGE

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

Aawwww, I rather like the RPing, but I understand. |D

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I liked it too. But I'm not arguing with the rule either.

[svati-arcturus.livejournal.com]

...OH DANGIT I WISH THAT I HAD GOTTEN INTO campfuckudie SOONER!

But oh well, I'm excited to use fsdressingroom once I get into CFUD...or at least, I hope~!

[case]

Why wait? Dressingrooms don't really require you to be in a game, they're just random RP!

[randomflavor.livejournal.com]

Can I still be In?

[svati-arcturus.livejournal.com]

Haha this kind of got answered here (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/135125.html?thread=39568597#t39568597).

:D

[plotbunniofdoom]

I feel like such a newb but PLEASE please

someone tell me what tl;dr stands for?

(I'm going to feel really thick when I find out, I just know it)

[l101386l.livejournal.com]

Too long; didn't read!

[elsabroso.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I really liked the Phoenix Wright characters that would show up...

Aw, this makes me sad. But hey, shiny new com for them to roam wild and free o're hill and valley...

[degrees.livejournal.com]

It was starting to get a little out of hand. Sorry!

[svati-arcturus.livejournal.com]

...also what about

these? (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/134752.html?thread=39409248#t39409248)

They must still be a little annoying...if not very long?

[degrees.livejournal.com]

We'll get back to you on that one when we have a definite answer XD *is the only mod around at the moment*

[shinai.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you.

[lashiec.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I love Phoenix Wright as much as the next person and all, but I am far more concerned with responses than RP. :P

TY TY TY TY they were SO ANNOYING omg

[shahni.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I see this AFTER I see fsdressingroom. Go, me. @_@ Uh, yeah, that sounds fine and stuff. Dressing room is better for RP anyway.

[rushhour.livejournal.com]

Awww thanks. <3
