I'm not sure if this would help, but maybe someone (or a group of individuals) could write up a guide for new and/or inexperienced GMs on how to NOT kill their Roleplays? You make some valid arguments that I think any GM could benefit from hearing.

to be honest yea. i think the reason there's so many people out there that get shat on for being, well, shit, is because rpg is pretty scarce in terms of guides. like, sure, i've seen some around, but they're wayyyy at the bottom of piles of new threads. honestly there needs to be a pinned guide in each roleplaying subsection so it's hard to miss.
