@Lady Amalthea I decided not to pin it since there's now a global link in the sidebar, more visible than ever.

The only reason it's implemented as a topic rather than a static web page is so that moderators can easily edit it without needing any additional development time on my part.

I'd prefer that people link to roleplayerguild.com/rules so that when the rules location changes in the future, I only need to update the redirect.

I added a URL /rules which redirects to the rules.

I also added a link to the rules on the homepage sidebar so that it's in plain view:



Should be a lil easier to spot now compared to burying it in some subforum.

Alright, doing some more Guild work today and the rest of the week.

@LegendBegins Thanks, I see what caused that. #willfix

@Ellri Hmm, interesting solution regarding the ability for a GM/Co-GM to mark their post as "GM-editable". This would be simpler and more generalized than a "0th post" system.

What was stopping me in the past was that I wanted to have some sort of revision history per post before I allowed multiple people to edit a post, but these days I think that sort of conservatism is too defensive.

@Mr Allen J The problem with GM deletion is that it's nice when all is going well, but it's pretty destructive in the hands of flippant abuse, like hiding every post a player made in a 1000-page roleplay just because of a disagreement on the 1000th page or something.

I think the current solution of being able to block future posts from a player is a pretty low-risk trade-off for now.

I suppose a better solution is to make the roleplay system smarter like having an actual character system that supports things like approval, managing characters, killing them off, etc. I've brainstormed mock-ups of this sort of thing in the past, but I obviously have larger priorities.

I'll keep tabs on the system and see what it amounts to after some time passes.

Welcome.
