And there's the annoyance, yall think word count = the amount described. Someone who can turn phrases can describe equal/more with less. It's part of language mastery and why a good vocabulary is useful.
Also what's annoying me
Its always the super long winded 1k+ per post page stuffers who establish restrictions. I've never once - ever in my entire life - seen a post maximum. It's a one way street, and again pretty much every post I make is well above any/all requirements so this isn't me bitching about rejection. Currently writing a post that's gonna exceed 1.5k but that's because there's enough content & much of it is self contained withoutt cross character interaction. The issue is demanding length with posts that only move scenes slightly. I shouldn't have to dredge random bs content to fit reqs if all I have to answer IC is a couple questions from another character. Another issue is world building as a member is restricted, as a member in a group RP you can't do big world building like you can in a solo project/GMing. Reasons for that are obvious, inescapable and people who GM more than join do not see this issue because they can say/do anything with the setting.
Also, people who make very emotional characters have a pretty big word buffer. Let's say you need a 500 word reply for a conversation post where you've been asked one/two questions. Your character is Sandor Clegane and you're a member in a RP so you can't really world build. Sure it's possible, but have fun finessing that post my brethren! On the other hand if you have a hyper emotional ball of angst or whatever else you can riff and riff and riff and so on because your character is on mental crack. So there's a bunch of case-by-case things being ignored.
General end point cause I've said everything Im gonna say (not raging out the discussion or anything lol, that kinda sounds bad). Idk why there is a war against context as if we can't be adults and have ground rules in our RPs rather than one size fits all, zero tolerance shit as if we're deciding policy for millions of poeple. If a great writer is writing effectively they shouldn't be punished because they ran 50 words short.
