Ruby, I am currently running a RP here, and from a couple weeks ago, I find some of my players getting banned. Core players, at that. They were the mood setter for my juvenile RP, and the ban fest on 20 Apr was a huge blow to me.

When I asked the involved players about why they are banned, they said they were just talking about stuff in the status bar.
At first I thought, OK maybe they are problem boys, or maybe they troll the mods too hard. 24 hr of no post should be OK.
But no, 1 of the player got perma-banned, and I need to drop 1 subplot from my RP and scramble to course-correct.

And then today I saw what my player posted in status bar first-hand, and how seemingly arbitrary the banhammer falls.
So I don't know if the admins has some beef with certain players or something, but I don't see why asking about legitimate concerns such as sudden thread deletion (on purpose or otherwise) considered an offense worthy of ban?

I like RPG. They have by far the best layout, and segregation for different writing level is a definitive win for RPG.
But the way this site is run, as some other people has stated before me, I don't feel safe continuing to write here.

We don't care if people talk about things in the status bar but there are exceptions. Don't talk about bans because the vast majority want to RP and enjoy the site without having to witness someone litigate a ban in public or try to drag site staff into public conflict. 

If you want to talk specific bans feel free to PM me. More than happy to discuss them there. 

The thread...people asked and they got an answer. In the status bar. If they want to rip into me for that decision that shouldn't happen in the status bar. But to ask a question and get an answer? That happened.
