Unwarranted removal of a thread.

[AngelNoire]

Hello. I posted a thread called "Airborn; A Swashbuckling Airship Adventure (Mature)" I put the word mature into the RP title because it takes place back in the 1600's and I fully expect immersion to include violence and possibly offensive dialogue. I said as much in the description and also told players that they had to do any ERP interactions completely within PM's if any occurred. i was rather frustrated to see the post removed and marked "forbidden" as to my understanding it did not violate any of the agreements I have made as a user on the site. If the post does violate said agreements, I would like to be made aware of exactly how it does, and what I can do to fix it, as this post was generating interest and I have an OOC up and running already. I am not concerned with the choice to remove it, as it is either a mistake on your or my part, I just would like to know which so I can fix it before any more threads involved are removed. Thank you very much for your time. Also, I would like to add that some kind of message regarding why the post was removed in specifics would be a terrific addition to the site, if you get the chance. It may be a low priority addition if anything, but it is those little things that make a forum perfect. Again, thank you for your time, have a wonderful day.

It was hidden because you put up three copies of the interest check. One in each level of RPing but had the RP itself in casual. So the casual thread stayed. We have different levels for a reason, so people can look in the sections for threads of that level. We have a general Interest check forum for additional advertising. It had nothing to do with the (Mature) in your thread title.

Ah yes. Well the reason I did so is because I believed that people in the advanced roleplays would be interested as well. I understand that there are levels for a reason, and knowing such I did post an IC in multiple levels for a reason. The roleplay is meant to take place at multiple levels depending on your rank and how one runs their ship. It is meant to have personal interactions between PM's as well as both short and long posts from the players in the main OOC. Because of its nature I ended up posting the main in the average level 'casual' forum, but I expect a very broad range. I did not want to post in the Free roleplay section due to the fact that it is by no means an unstructured roleplay. I feel it is very advanced. It being as such I did feel that those interested in advanced roleplays may show an interest in this one, an audience which I felt may even be necessary to the RP due to the need for multiple "Captains" who would be basically GM'ing their own ship. I assumed the interest checks would be as they are called, for interests. If this assumption was incorrect, then I fully understand.

I suspect the interest check system would more useful if it was consolidated into one big infinite-scroll sort of feed that was optimized for filtering (tags, 1x1 vs group, free vs casual vs advanced, no filter at all, text search, etc). Subforums are a bit of a hack. I think more can be done.

Nice thought for the future, especially if we use a system similar to the current notifications system (or tack onto it to notify you when an interest check for pertinent RP's is posted) that gives someone a heads up when their 'subscribed' tags are used.

[AngelNoire]

I agree, a system with tags for classification would be useful... Is it still a concern for me to try and generate interest in Check Forums outside of my RP's technical classification? I only chose to put in casual because it doesn't really fit any of the classification parameters. I know there is a general interest check forum for things that are hard to classify but I feel like then it won't reach my target audience and might affect the quality of the RP.
