You should understand the framing of the whole comment rather than just nitpicking one sentence out of context from a comment. But idk.[/quote]

In this case the framing doesn't change a thing about how I read and understand the comment. 'If you don't read all posts, you're not being a good roleplayer/not a roleplayer at all. You should go write solo because then you don't have to read anything.' Chose not to go into that discussion further because at that point we'd be arguing semantics and since I know a few of you, I'd rather not, and focus on the discussion at hand. 

[quote=@Inkarnate]But what kind of people typically don’t [i]read[/i] posts as expected? I think that’s what people like Nutts, Lady A, and myself are taking from that question. I’m thinking in the prospective point of the general case, not exceptions – not uncommon cases. It’s where I come to the conclusion that in a typical collaborative effort that it is not only without manners but unacceptable to not read posts. Perhaps I could’ve analyzed the question beyond how I looked at it, but understand that I was coming at it from a certain angle.

I think even in your angle there are glaring issues with requiring people to read any and all posts. Speaking from own experience and realistically, roleplayerguild GM's are not known for their people skills. So excuse me for being wary of 'requirements' in terms of having to read things. Although the sentiment behind it is understandable, I have my doubts that this requirement would be phrased in a way that didn't come off as arrogant and authoritative. Now, I don't have anything against authoritative people, I enjoy it, but fact of the matter is that most people do not.

So from that standpoint, I've got my doubts that the requirement being posed would be portrayed in a way where it wouldn't put off people - in a personality standpoint, not the requirement itself.

But that's not really an issue with the requirement itself and more with the people and is, as I stated, based on my own experiences and how I view people on RPG.

The manners I've already discussed. Yeah, it's rude, but just being rude isn't a reason to make it a priority 1 requirement. The RP can and will continue if you shirk on your duty to read all posts, especially those that don't influence you anyway. As stated before I think it's good to read all posts. But.. I fail to see the necessity. 

Unacceptable? From what perspective? That's a vague way to put it. What makes it unacceptable. The idea that you can't write a good post without reading other posts? Or just the fact that is is expected and therefore unacceptable if you don't do it?
