I have had it! Okay senior members and newbies... WIPE THAT SMUG GRIN OFF YOUR FACE!!!You guys know whom I am referring too. Stop this whole, "I'm as good as a staff member because I have _____ posts." Uh no, you're probably not. 1.No taking down animals larger then yourself! 2.No more then one account. Oh yes, I've about had it, as you can tell. Some of you are just not getting it through your thick skulls! "Oh, I admit sometimes I do that..." ^That's an obvious, 'I do it all the time'. -This is a bit harsh, Irritated Middy

who has as many posts as me? :/ that was a pun, but the truth is, its not the number of posts that make you a great, or experianced Roleplayer; that 'counting to 2000' thread didnt count by its-self. it really all comes down to attitude. respect others and you'll get it in return....show disrespect.....you'll obviously get it back :/ i hate that theres so much quarreling going on.

That's totally okay. I think I'm one of the more patient, explain-everything-as-many-times-as-necessary admins, but lately it's been getting to me, too. People thing that it's okay to just disobey the rules because it doesn't make sense to them. Well, why don't you ask before you act? Then there's all those members who don't know how to spell, use punctuation, or write more than one line... but they're getting more posts than the respectful members because they post every two seconds in the games. I personally thing we should delete all but, say, three of the games then say you're only allowed to post once a day - or maybe once a week. It would do all those new members who think this is a games site good. This is an RP site, people, and you're supposed to RP.
They've gotten Cindy mad, and that's usually pretty hard to do. I deal with friends who are depressed and snap at every word - and I'm okay, because they're my friends and I love them anyway. I deal with a school where no one thinks that it's worthwhile to talk to me - and okay, so I don't talk to anyone at my school. But now the disrespectful members are getting me furious. The admins tell one member to post longer RPs, and others see. But what do they do? They go off and post just as frustratingly short as usual. Don't wait until an admin tells you not to do something if you know it's against the rules! Come on! If members are disrespectful, the admins get into bad moods. And that means we're more strict and less forgiving, even to members who really deserve nice admins.
Okay, I'm calming down now. But I will snap much more easily if members - you know who you are - continue. All the admins are at breaking point. So why are you still not listening?

fairly good checklist for a good sized post (couldnt help myself):
reaction to what was just done(ex. So-an-Sopaw's eyes widened with shock, or so-an-sopaw staggered from the blow, and struggled to regain breathing.), a small preaction (ex. swished hes/her with....(ex. contempt delight....) (optional) speech-can go before or after but always remember that somewhere before or after it to say 'So-and-sopaw meowed/purred/hissed/w/e' climax action/ending action of the post.
So-and-sopaw's paws fell hard ontop of nothing as the squirrle fled, leaving him blinking with frustration. how could he miss!? Getting up the apprentice looked around for another prey, but upon seeing nothing but a distasteful beetle, The tom turned with his tail held high as he meowed to no one in particular "I'm not that hungy anyway" as he headed back to camp.

See? It's not that hard, as Kash has just demonstrated. Here's a slightly different kind of checklist - it's what you should describe in your post.
~Your character's current thoughts/emotions (ex. so-and-so seethed with fury) You should have a lot of this, something in reaction to all the events. ~The setting. This can range from: so-and-so looked at his paws, which scuffled on the dark earth that was wet from the rains the night before, to: so-and-so looked around. She was in a damp stone cave with what looked like fangs jutting out from the cave top and floor. There were drips of water coming down from the upper ones, landing on the teeth below. ~An action. A post is completely pointless and very hard to respond to if there isn't any action. This can range from: Shaken, he backed up into the trees, eyes wide and staring at the scene before him. Calming himself, he slid his claws out and he leaped at an enimy, to: so-and-so gave a small snort in his sleep, caused by a scary dream.

I don't have a checklist but I always check to make sure I don't have just one line to post to(btw sorry but people like that frustrate me on my site too, and I kinda snap really easily if my computer is really slow that day). I make sure that someone could post back somehow otherwise theres a dead thread that no one can post on. Like right now on my site a big battle just ended, meaning that our plot is done(finally) but people can still post in that thread because everyone has to get back to camp somehow. But when a member is disrespectful, well I'm sorry, but I just snap. There is no excuse for being disrespectful.
