Private Roleplay Rant

[Crumbleless]

13/20 or 65% of the Non-Warriors Roleplay on the front page was private. That's more than half which is concerning in my opinion. I'm not sure if the rule about private roleplays applies to the Non-Warriors Roleplay but the amount of private roleplays was a main part of why I went on hiatus. I waited many months and it only gotten worse. I don't understand why we can't just take our private rps to pm. Then there would be more of the roleplays that everyone can join. Sure, I understand it takes more time to do roleplays via pm but then I could actually find roleplays that I'm interested in and not have to hunt through all these private roleplays. I didn't make this rant to make anyone feel bad or anything like that I'm just trying to call attention to the situation in a way that I'm most comfortable with.

Welcome back from your hiatus!
I do agree about the amount of [Private] roleplays being on the excessive side. While not intentional, it excludes newer members and makes it harder for them to find a group of roleplayers with similar interests.
The rule you're referencing- is it this one?

Excluding others from threads and/or roleplays is not allowed. Completely private roleplays and discussions should be taken to messaging.

I've had confusion about it myself, which was explained by an admin after asking about it. The wording makes it a little on the murky side, but it's a rule stating that essentially excluding members from a roleplay specifically because you don't like them, or you don't want a particular member to roleplay with you, is not allowed. This is referencing public roleplays, available to every member- you can't ignore or purposefully keep a roleplayer from joining in with your mini plot inside of the public roleplay, and if you want a completely private roleplay (regarding your characters in this public roleplay) you are encouraged to take it to the PMs.
