[@The Harbinger of Ferocity] Yes, GM's should have to do that. Moderators aren't responsible for your RP failing or succeeding. 'Don't leave RP's without saying' isn't part of the rules. I think that it's more reasonable to expect GM's to sort of take a look at who they're taking in. When I GM, which isn't often but frequent enough to say I have a good amount of experience, I take a look at potential recruits and ask around a bit in the already accepted members of the group if they know the person.

It doesn't take much time. Building and using a system to give people negative karma for flaking out is probably more time consuming.

If this ends up becoming a thing and I get negative marks, guess I'll just make new accounts.
