Having 10 posts

I am burdened with a glorious purpose
Hello there! So, I'm a new member and I'm slightly confused by the 10 postings rule. Does that mean you have to make 10 of these threads or just write 10 replies to other people's threads??? I would be so grateful if someone could answer this for me.


Thank you

Just realised I posted this in the wrong place, I'm so sorry. This must be really annoying
 
Let me try to answer the question anyway: It's sufficient to create 10 posts, meaning replies to other threads, creating own threads like this one etc. all count towards it. Keep in mind that the rule includes another part, namely being registered for at least 24 hours. So while you seem to have the required post count, the additional features will still not be activated immediately.


By the way: Welcome, glad you found us. I hope you'll have a great time here.

Thanks so much, that clears things up a lot :D
 
Might have changed recently - I think I saw something like that in the news mails, but can't find it atm. Therefore, I went with the version that is published officially: @Xylin

There are arguments for both 10 and 25 posts - I tagged an admin that probably knows more about those things than I do.


There is no such thing like account deletion in connection to this rule - otherwise my account wouldn't exist :) It's just a rule that makes sure that new accounts don't get full access to all features at once.
 
The rules used to state that you needed only 10 posts and 24 hours before you could do things like PM and use some features of the site. That has changed in the last 24 hours so you need to have 25 posts and wait 24 hours before you can do that.


And the reason why is this: It used to be that we did not allow any mention of off-site RPs, nor did we allow users to share private contact info either publically or in PMs. We still don't allow the sharing of private info on public threads. However, we now have broader rules in place for off-site RPing and because of that we have increased the posting requirement from 10 to 25.


I have seen that you are posting in other people's threads and this is the correct way of getting 25 posts, a lot of people try to spam their own threads and we take measures against that.
 
Greetings and salutations!


Welcome to RP Nation, where Roleplay is our business.


You've found us, congratulations for choosing the best RP site on the whole intertubes, we're glad you're here and a part of the expanding universe that is RP Nation. Also, now you're officially one of the cool kids.


Before you being your quest to becoming one of the old hats here at RPN, please do take a second and take a look at the site rules. You can find them here: INFO - Official Site Rules | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum.


Unlike the Pirate code, they aren't more like suggestions but rules that we take a bit seriously. If, however, you've got a few pieces of eight you'd like to swing our way, we're always more than happy to take it. (I said, the rules weren't suggestions, never said we weren't piratey mate).


Once you've had a glance over the rules there's more information to be had here: Site Questions & Information | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum. You can find something there to answer just about any question you might have.


Now then, I know that you have to answers that you're wanting answered now and the first is, you can join any RP that is open. You can find the different RP genres here: Roleplays | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum


They're set up by genre so if you're looking for that Belgariad fandom RP (sorry, none yet exists here) then you'll know you aren't going to be looking in the futuristic genre. Each genre has an interest check at the top of the page and you can peruse this to see if anyone is wanting to create an RP.


If you are trolling the RPs and you just gotta make your own futuristic version of the Elenium, then you can pick the genre (future or fandom? I don't know!) and create an interest check. In the interest check you can tell the whole world about your RP and what you want to do with it. If you get enough people to say Aye! then you create your RP.


If you have any questions, issues, or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with either the moderators of your forum (the genre), the Super moderators, or even the admin staff. You can do that here: Site Questions & Information


Now, though I don't always give a personal response to what you've said, please believe me when I say that I've read your intro. And because I've read so many intros I've come to the realization that our users have come from a wide, assorted background when it comes to RPing. For many new users a forum based RP is a new thing and it can be a bit unsettling for those who aren't sure of what to do. Some of you are a bit unsure and shy about hopping into an RP. Sometimes we need a little something to dip our toes in. For that purpose I would like to introduce you to Kaedros The Undying. This is an RP hosted by Captain Hesperus and myself. Take a peek at the interest check and see if you would like to join. It is an RP that will always be open to young, old, new, and old users alike.


If you have any questions you need to address to me, please tag me in your comments as I don't always get to every single response in every welcome thread and I end up missing a lot of questions. You can do that by using the @ before my handle.


Again, welcome to RPN and happy RPing.

Welcome to RPNation! I'm fairly new myself, so if you discover a good way to get someone's attention as a newbie - please share!


Good luck and God speed!
