Role Play Requests

Postby chadmc90 » Sun Aug 14, 2016 7:00 pm

Okay.....

So lately I've been getting a significant amount of role play requests by PM. I don't know about you guys, but for those that don't care about role plays, they can get pretty annoying. Are others harassed by rp invites? I personally think they should be limited to public threads like TUG Buddies. That's just me though.

Feedback highly appreciated! Feel free to Private Message me if you prefer to not post on the public forum!

Now harasment is not cool I agree but then you can't make private messages disapear because Rp's are personal.

All the time! Can't blame them for trying though :quirk:

I think the problem with limiting RP requests to the forum is that you can't contact someone directly.
I get messaged by people who wanna RP with me, specifically. Usually because of similar kinks and interests.
It's rare that I get RP requests from users that just wanna RP with any random user.

When I get a one line RP request from someone I've never spoken to, I just ignore it.

When I get more personal RP requests, I usually take the time to explain that I don't have time to engage in story-writing and indulge in RPing at the same time. I'll usually use that opportunity to encourage the user to post on one of my threads so that we can converse and have fun on the public board instead.

This.
This is probably the most mature way to handle unwanted rp requests. Usually those who only send in a one-liner aren't that dedicated to getting you as a partner, and won't feel too bad if they don't get a response.
Just my two cents, of course

You could also just write it in your profile that you're "not interested in role play, so please don't ask". Won't keep 100 % everybody away, but most of them.

Not into them either. Have tried to do some. Was never and good at it. Just couldn't get "into it."

I also had some requests. Some from women which was trerrific. And some from guys.
I did point out on my profile that I'd rather chat with women but at least the guys were cool with it when I declined to rp.
