    When Contra wrote that, she kind of left it pretty open for interpretation. Stuff like that will probably be handled on a case by case basis, like we do everything else.... but we will be automatically deleting post and banning members that do post such things.

    "RPs containing sexual acts will be deleted"

    Seems pretty clear to me.

    From what I've heard, it was mainly directed at 1x1. In which case, a smut RP is... a smut RP, since 95% of 1x1 RP's are romance anyway. As for group RP's, then anything meant to be a smut RP would still apply, and would likely be deleted (there just aren't as many romance/smut group RP's). However, say it's a non-romance RP. And there's romance going on between two characters, and one roleplayer makes the bad decision to post something that should've been kept in PM's. I think, in that case, the post would be deleted, and a temp ban might be handed out, but the rest of the roleplay would be fine.

    All in all, I think "All roleplays containing sexual acts will be deleted" has to do more with threads that center around romance and sexual acts, rather than just a character romance on the side that turns sexual once or twice.

    Oh alright.

    I just didn't want threads I've worked on for ages, that end up talking about and addressing sexuality in a mature manner to get murdered by one foul post.

    Oh! so that's where the lover in a box group went!

    95 percent of 1X1 are not even Romance. Romance to most people on those threads is they meet at a bar and then they hit the bed. No build up..No conflits No anything. They just want to write about action in the bed room in Pm. So they make a story up and say its romance when its really not.

    Now the other 5 percent know what romance is. They have conflits in their story and a build up. Heck I am in two of them and both of my chars are fighting themselves as they do not know what falling in love means. Their thoughts reflect that.

    All in all it is a good rule to pass. Now if it was extended to Ooc threads. Were if you read some of them..people are talking about sex over pg 13 ratings. But they are using other words so they do not get in trouble.
