Ever spend days and nights putting together a roleplay setting, pouring all your time and effort into the setup and details? Sure you have. Then what happens? That's right. You get a dozen or more people crying interested, so you work with them on their character sheets and help them find a place to jump into the flow of the story. [i]Then[/i] what happens? They do one or two posts and disappear, leaving you and the few active people you manage to find waiting. And you wait. And you wait some more. Before long, even your good people get tired of waiting and all that hard work you put into the RP goes straight down the can. Wouldn't it be nice if there were something we could do about that? [i]There is.[/i]

I propose a rating system for forum members based on their participation reliability. Some sort of percentage or maybe a scale between 10 and -10. It would be great if there were something we could do about these no-show CS slingers, like keep downrating them until no one will accept them in role plays because they're known for skipping out. This would also help us decent, active roleplayers to recognize one another and organize some real stories around here. Am I alone in thinking this?
