[quote=@pugbutter]It's when you make a mockery of my thread by [i]pretending[/i] to join it that a line is crossed. We all have only so many minutes on this earth and I don't like squandering them by reading bios for characters I'll never get to RP with.

In my case, I express interest but usually indicate that I will spend a few days to ensure it is legitimate interest; I am fully in when I post the bio, as by then I'll know if my interest was just a pointless fling of 1-2 days or something to last a longer.

Now, if you spend the time to make a bio immediately and then decide "nope" that I say - come on mate. Know yourself a little...

And then of course there are the ones who flake on every single thread, joining, posting a CS, maybe 1-2 IC posts and before you know it, already are on the next roleplay and abandoned the last one...
