While this isn't a major thing, we do have a rule about bump spamming. So if you see multiple bumps per day in a thread you can report it.

Well just because there are multiple bumps in a day doesn't mean the person is breaking any rules. As the site rules say:
- If you truly wish to bump your thread before 24 hrs, you should at least wait until it has fallen from the first page of a forum. The forums move at a slower pace than you would think so please be sure to wait until this happens.

It's more of a courtesy thing, really. Bumping a thread every two hours during the day is excessive bumping and should be reported. Bumping it every 19 hours instead of 24 is not.

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to argue at all. I just want to understand as the rules state that you can bump if your search thread is off of the front page.
So if it's a busy day and lots of search threads are posted and yours gets pushed to page 2 every let's say 4-5 hours, are you allowed to bump each time?
Or is that rule no longer applicable there because you've already bumped once in less than 24 hours?
Yeah, that would make me ify too. Not only that multiple bumps in day don't give other request threads a chance to be seen they get knocked down the line.

This isn't the right place to discuss the rules though. If you have further questions please make a thread in Community Hub or Staff Contact.

I'm really sorry. I'll go ahead and do that right now.

When people use "boy" and "girl" when talking about character gender instead of "male" and "female". It heebies my jeebies for reasons I can't quite explain.

I know this is kind of hypocritical of me because I always dissaprove of judging people based on their avatars but it just creeps me out for some reason.

I dunno if I’d be creeped out so much as concerned. Like that’s just bad internet policy to use an image of yourself on a public forum. You don’t know that their aren’t weirdos or people who might try to use it to dox you.

Also another thing that makes me nope out. When people use the term trap in their search thread. It weirds me out for the same reason as uke/seme/bottom/etc.
Like even if the person doesn't intend for it to come across as fetish-y or creepy it just seems like lazy writing. Like your going to define your character solely by this one trait.

I hate that word.
People don't even know what it means.
Unless they're purposely trying to trick you, they're a crossdresser.

Well I would argue even if they are purposely trying to trick you they aren't a "trap" so much as they're a "manipulative liar." Plus it just reduces being a crossdresser to being a prop. Like why can't someone like to crossdress just as personal choice? Why does it have to be tied to "trapping" someone into liking them.

I'm pretty sure it's a meta explanation about the character "trapping" the audience, even if they're not doing it to other characters.

Edit - So yeah I realized I have no idea what that word means. Because I thought it meant a man who crossdressed OR a transwoman. And I can't imagine how either of those things equal "trapping" the audience. As you can't trap someone by having an identity.
To me "trapping" someone would be holding them against their will. So it would make more sense in the context of say - Characters forced into slavery OR Characters in a forced marriage. Which doesn't make sense as to how that relates to the audience.

People using outdated terminology that clearly indicates they have 0 knowledge of their own setting is the absolute worst.
Special mention goes to calling a psychiatric hospital/inpatient residential an "asylum". Just... ew. Like, I get that hospitals tend to be good settings for RPs (keeps everyone in one area, gives them a sense of community and commonality, etc. etc.) But if your only source knowledge of how the mental health system works is Batman, maybe you should be leaving heavy and complex subject matter alone until you're grown up enough to use Google.

Seeing that my one of my ex-partners/groupmates from an abandoned roleplay have responded to it. It's not an explicitly bad thing, I just feel really guilty about every abandoned project I've had on this site, and I honestly don't think I could be in another roleplay with these people again without beating myself about it.
