Bad RPers Suck!
...and they don't even swallow.
(no userpics)
Name:Bad RPers Suck
Theme:Bad Roleplayers
Website:RPG Etiquette Group
About:This is the non-adult forum. For any adult (sex-oriented, excessive gore, etc.) posts belong on [info]brps_adult. Please read the userinfo for the rules of [info]brps_adult and join that community here. I cannot invite you. You need to apply for membership.)

Unsure of what roleplaying is? Then go here: What is roleplaying?

Do you want to learn how to become a better roleplayer? A better moderator or storyteller? Are you sick of gaming with godmoders and Mary Sues? This is the Bad RPers Live Journal. You can come here to bitch about bad roleplaying experiences (Mary Sues/Marty Stus, bad GMs, bad writing, annoying players, etc). This is the sister list to the RPG Etiquette list. We are also affiliated with [info]rp_discuss, a journal where you can get RP advice on just about anything such as plots, character creation, and more.

This LJ isn't an RPG. Rather it's a place where you can come to learn how to improve your RP experience, improve your moderator/story teller abilities, and vent about how you've handled bad roleplaying experiences. Also, this LJ is not a game-advertisement and/or plugging community, though I don't mind if you mention a game by proxy in a post. Just don't spam the group.

If you are looking for Bad RPers icons and graphical signature images, or if you have icons and such that you would be willing to share, please look at this post here:

If you would like to post a blurb about your game, please refer to the following post:

http://www.livejournal.com/community/bad_rpers_suck/852143.html

You may add your game to that list. PLEASE KEEP YOUR DESCRIPTION UNDER 100 WORDS for length reasons.

Also, if there is a particular post that you see that you think should be added to [info]bad_rpers_suck's memories, please post here:

http://community.livejournal.com/bad_rpers_suck/3816362.html

If there is a post you find questionable, think it might be spam, find it offensive, or refers to people personally, please email me the post and or links to the comments in question at either my LJ account, or ragabashtule at yahoo dot com so that I can take action against it.

If you see a certain gaming system or other such thing missing in the interests listed below, please post what you think needs to be added here: http://community.livejournal.com/bad_rpers_suck/5232220.html

By the way, if you're a twink or a godmoder, and you've found this journal by accident, and have noticed that people have posted your stuff on here -- you can bitch and moan all you want. You've been posted here for good reason: because you're a bad roleplayer who needs to frelling learn to write better characters, or stop being a twink. So don't come whining to me (the community mod) about how people are being mean to you, because I'm liable to just tell you off as well. So, twinks and godmoders, bitch and moan all you want; NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK BECAUSE YOU SO OBVIOUSLY SUCK. BADLY.

Main rules:

1) If you don't want someone running across something you're posting like a character bio, friends-protect the entry.

2) I don't really care if you directly link to other journals, so long as you don't go against LJ TOS. I don't need people from this community intentionally trolling other people's personal journals or communities because, "They were showcased on [info]bad_rpers_suck! OMG let's go make fun of them!" Why? Because I'll ban your ass. I've done it before, and I won't hesitate to ask them members of this community if you have multiple LJ accounts so I can ban them all. I take this shit seriously. BE MATURE. Or be at least as mature as a load of dice rollers and power levelers can be. Heh.

3) If a flame war ever erupts on here (hey, it happens on every comm. at least once! LOL) if I get a complaint about someone who's posted something, I will read over what's been said, and then will decide if it's a banning offense or not. If I don't think what's been said has been done to death, or that it's offensive (and by offensive, I mean something that's degrading to someone's race, religion, sex, sexual preference...that sort of thing), you'll get a warning. But if you piss me off again, you'll get banned, because I'm sick of the three strikes system. You might get one strike, or you might get none at all if you're a complete idiot. Most likely, you'll get one warning.

4) About plugging games. This isn't a place for advertising your RP communities. Unless it's in the context of a post, don't plug your game. You can add your game by going to the link mentioned above (this one, in case you missed it). This is a place to discuss RPing, not advertise. If you'd like to plug your game, there are places you can do it on Yahoo!groups:

Essential RPG Survival Kit
Freeform GMs -- a discussion place for freeform GMs.
Original RPG Ads
RPG Announcement
RPG Archive
RPG Player Sanctuary
RPG Plug
RPG Sci-Fi Fantasy Casting
http://www.edgeofnowhere.co.uk/modules/news/ (for game listings)
[info]_rpg_ads_
[info]ad_your_rpg_
[info]imadethisrpg
[info]rpg_adverts
[info]rpg_promo

...to name a few. If you want to name your game in the context of a post, that's fine. Just don't inundate the journal with "PLZ j0in mah kummunity kthxby!@!1" Not following this rule and spamming my community will get you banned for being an idiot who apparently can't RTFM.

5) Posting a moderator's or another player's personal contact info on here in order to "blacklist" them is a big no-no. It's an invasion of privacy. Doing so will result in automatic banning. Period. End of story. This includes posting their name, any type of direct linking, and the posting of IP addresses. Exceptions will be made if you have gotten the prior expressed permission of said parties to post their information. Please email it to me before you post.

6) As if it hasn't been iterated enough, if you bitch and moan and whine about how your character isn't a Mary Sue, isn't a godmoder, etc., etc., because it's been showcased here, go call whine-one-one and take a trip on the waaaaahmbulance. No one cares what you think. This community is a good community for criticism, both constructive and offensive. If you can't laugh at yourself for writing a shitty character...*waves hand dismissively*...just do me a favor and go away. Don't waste my time.

7) If you disable comments on a posting, you will be banned because disabling comments pisses me off. What's the point of posting on a rant community if people aren't allowed to commiserate with you? If you're *gasp!* afraid that people will dare to! disagree with you, then this is NOT the community for you. Not everyone is going to agree with everything you rant about and may even accuse you of wankery! If you are a member who sees someone post something with comments disabled and I don't catch it first, please email me with a link to said post at ragabashtule at yahoo dot com.

8) Deleting comments or freezing replies will also get you banned. If you screw up on a comment, do not delete it. Either edit it, or post another comment underneath it. No exceptions. Don't screen comments. Don't freeze comments. Don't be an ass. Trolling someone's personal journal just because they disagree with you or you disagree with them is also classified as asshattery. DO NOT TROLL PERSONAL JOURNALS. THAT SHIT PISSES ME OFF. I realise that trolling people's personal journals can be quite hilarious, but I'm sure in some skewed way it constitutes lolinternet harassment and I really don't feel like running the risk of getting this community shut down. Keep the wank restricted here, please.

To clarify, if you:

- Delete your post for whatever reason
- Delete comments for whatever reason
- Freeze comments
- Screen comments
- Mark your entries so that people can't comment on them
- Flounce
- Troll someone's personal journal

I will ban you. All of the above are tactics used by idiot drama queens, which I don't tolerate. I also don't give a shit if you disagree.
