RP Rules - updated Sept 17th 08

[FeatherFrost]

What are the guidelines on bumping? I have a new RP and the roleplay (animals, fantasy) page is always dominated by the older RPs that get constant activity. There is no bump button currently, so obviously only new messages count as 'bumps' to get your thread to the top. Is this ("Bumping") spam? I don't have any activity on my RP yet, and only 50 or so views.
Also, since you can't delete old posts, it's kind of aggravating, so I don't know what to do.

Good question! The rules on bumping are simple. It is recommended that you wait until your thread has gone past the main page (if you go to say, 'Fantasy Animal Roleplay' board whatever threads are on the front page should not be bumped.) Or wait until the 'Bump this topic' button appears at the bottom of your thread page (can be located near the bookmark option.)

Hope this helps!

My thread, (last I checked, yesterday morning) was on the third page. Every time I posted my post was moved back quickly to the second and third pages. I haven't been able to find the "bump this topic" button anywhere.

The 'bump' button will only be visible 6 hours after the last post, you can then click on it and then you must wait till someone else posts before bumping it again.
Threads on the roleplay boards move quickly but don't worry, you do get seen! Three pages back is perfectly normal.

What about killing a character?

You are free to kill your own characters at anytime as long as it is not detailed. Killing another persons character on the other hand should not be done unless the roleplayer for that character has clearly given you permission to do so and the death must not be detailed.

What does BUMPING Mean

What does BUMPING Mean

The word 'Bumping' is the abbreviated form of 'Bumping Up My Post' which basically means moving your thread or post to the front of the 'list'.

Could someone please clarify mini roleplaying for me? What I've seen of it it is almost identical to God Pay/God modding but the person who did it swore up DVDs down it was mini roleplaying. Thank you
