Has "Casual" become the new "Advanced"?

Maybe it is just me, but i feel that perhaps we should move away from writing length categories, and more towards genre. Split the groups up into things like SoL, Sci-fi, Fantasy etc. I think as a new user, that would make things alot easier to get into. You join the site, you want to do a fantasy RP, you check the fantasy section and find a RP that fits you. Hope that makes sense.

@Hedgehawk

That's basically the tag system but in section form. Plus, we already have this nifty filter that lets you filter by tag, be that genre, writing level, group size, etc. Would be nice to have a filter for interest checks and a way to toggle on or off full roleplays in your search, though.

I don't come over to these threads often, so I don't typically see what gets posted here :P

You would think the site would provide a system to report and move these RPs to their proper categories. That alone would liven up the Advanced section again.

@Metronome

That's fine; I'm just pointing out that the whole "low casual/high casual", "casual writers are advanced level", etc. discussion has brought up repeatedly in the past and has been summarily beaten into the ground and to death at this point.

And yes; roleplays have been moved in the past to correct categories. Most recent was @Poohead189 moving Myriad Reality to Free, I believe? Personally, though, what decides if a roleplay is free/casual/advanced is entirely subjective. For instance, if we go by the current category descriptions, even advanced roleplays aren't fit for the advanced section. You'll be hard pressed to find an advanced roleplay that is "generally two paragraphs" per post, which is why I see ideas like this suggestion a better fit than what is currently in place on the guild to hopefully clear up things and stop the constant debate about this whole "high/low" writing level tier thing.

Has "Casual" become the new "Advanced"?

In my personal opinion (and probably many others), this specific topic is well by now simply beating a dead horse. There have been plenty threads and discussions on this, and yes, people generally agree that casual is essentially advanced at this current stage. People just roleplay there instead of the other sections because it happens to be the most popular on the site and in turn means more people will see their interest check, which leaves free and advanced slim pickings and scraps to work with.
