What NOT to do in a roleplay!

[Aragorn]

Hello, this is Aragorn here to give you some tips on what NOT to do in a RP.
1. God modding- When you god mod (in other words be like you are the perfect character. Example: No weaknesses.) you tick everyone off in the rp. It just ruins the experience of a good roleplay.

2. Bad grammar and spelling- I don't know about you but I don't like spending the next 10 minutes trying to decipher what somebody posted instead of using the time to make my own post. Sadly, there is too much bad english, especially in free roleplay's. So when you put your post, make sure it is readable!

3. Auto hits- An auto hit is when you post that you did something to another character without giving them a chance to respond. For example: Putting "He hit Joe with the butt of sword"instead of "He tried to hit Joe with the butt of the sword."

4. Pulling pranks on other characters when they aren't online- This has happened to me several times, and is extremely annoying. An example of this would be like having your character taking the other character's stuff while they aren't online. This is similar to an auto hit because you don't give the other character time to respond.

5. Flooding the IC with OOC-This happens a lot and it gets annoying because then you have to scroll through 3 pages of OOC just to find the last IC post.

6. Raging- Yes, I know that some posts will tick you off but that doesn't mean you have to flood the IC with angry OOC posts about it.

7. Speed posting- This is when you go to sleep then wake up and find that there are 10 new pages of posts to sift through in the rp you are in.

I will add to this as I think of more things. Thank you for reading.

The prank part was to me wasn't it

What about when people don't read the previous posts and just post to what they think the person should have said? This has happened to me quite a few times and is the reason I quit rping for quite a long time.
