This has been stated before, but I have a life, and Homework, and I can't freaking be on 24/7. A while back I once was kicked out of an RP because I wasn't on all the time. Well, I'm Sorry My ACTUAL life ruined your dream! Can we have GMs show leniency people! I understand we need to keep the RP going, and I don't mind being Metagamed unless I die or something horrible happens to me! Heck, If one of my users was sick, in the hospital, or at work/School and didn't notify me, I'd hold the RP and plan stuff or chill in OOC. That is IF I HAD ANY USERS! but that's another thing.

I give a lot of leeway. Real life comes before roleplay and wouldn't expect a GM to do anything otherwise. I tend to give people a lot of leeway, maybe less if they're in the thick off it. Recommend that the players move themselves out of the throng if they know they'll have issues but if they don't post for upto a week I don't insta go. I'll PM the player, give them a couple of days to throw a quick response and if nothing then I'll move their character off to the side. I'll only ever kill them if the players been gone for over a month or I can't find a way to get the character out off it.

Though I know what you mean, I see quite a few pushy Gms and I find it quite upsetting that all the big names from the OldGuild aren't around anymore, the ones who got a RP going and it kept going for [i]ages[/i].
