fandomsecrets | (no subject)

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!

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

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!

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

Isn't that why

ic_secrets was born? Or something.

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

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. >.>;

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

.. OH RIGHT. *fail*

:'( I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

I ACTUALLY FUCKING LOVE RP SECRETS♥

THANKS FOR NOT BANNING THEM

~~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

Thank you.

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.

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?

... didn't we already have

ic_secrets?

Not to cause any ruckus or anything, but I don't see the difference between OOC pseudo-RP and IC pseudo-RP in comments. :/ They both take up 50+ comments and you have to scroll past it just the same.

Alright, then no RP whatsoever!

Let me get Liz to see what she says, too (:

IN B4 ROLEPLAY WANK AND BAWW-AGE

WELL YOU JUST HAVE AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING!!

Ah, I was more playing devil's advocate than anything--I don't actually mind the RPing myself. Just pointing out something I noticed is all. ^^;;

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

...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~!

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