I cant say much, because I have never been rated. However what I will say is i think the rating system should be more maturely monitored. Such as someone with excellent grammar with perfect literature getting a star 1? Thats ridiculous and is a bit idiotic, and the funny part was the reason it was done was because the man was going around rating people he didn't know 1's -.- I would prefer if we could take the rating system off of your account manually.

Might have already been mentioned, but heres my idea:
Theres currently a layout of:
> OOC Area
> Fantasy RP
> Realistic RP
> Futuristic RP
> Other RP
But why not have
> Fantasy RP
- OOC Area
> Realistic RP
- OOC Area
> Futuristic RP
- OOC Area
> Other RP
- OOC Area
That would tidy up the area, make it easier to find RPs that you are interested in and be generally more user-friendly.
PS: What section would I find Zombie RPing in?

I don't like it. To me, "fantasy" "realistic" and "futuristic" are just settings. If the story is good, it doesn't matter where its set. When I go to the OOC forum, I don't go thinking "Oh, I'll look for a good futuristic RP today." I go looking for any good RP. Plus, it divides up the community more than necessary; I can see, with fans of the respective genres divided into different OOC forums, players getting cut off from players who usually do different genres.
Also, that's a lot of forums for the administration to keep up with.
By the way, zombie RPs are usually in the Other RP Forum. Sometimes they're in Futuristic, since they are sci-fi.

One thing I'd like to see is a Warhammer40k sub-forum in futuristic RP forum. I think they used to have it on these forums, and I can't find them anymore.

There seem to be a large number of people that would like to start roleplaying in forums but are not sure where to start. I myself would like to begin roleplaying here but I'm not sure if im basically good enough to start in a regular forum roleplay. Could you guys implement a sort of beginner area in the academy?

Clan system. ( )
by Lueshi on Wed Nov 05, 2008 3:54 pm
Good evening. This is towards all the Staff members of Roleplay gateway. I am presenting this idea to you as it could help build friendship's toward's other members. I truly believe it would help with building healthy friendships to the Role play gateway site. I dont know if you are in agreement. But hopefully you are. My basic struction of the Clan system would be. 8 clans, a 9th for Staff members. the regular 8 clans would be based around certain command structer made by the memeber's of each clan. And each clan would elect a Clan leader and 2 sub clan leaders. Ideas for the name's would be voted by each clan member as well as clan name's. Then the site can vote on having massive clan battles with each member of the two or three or other number of clan's. These clan battle's would only be for fun. And here is the kicker. Each Clan would be given it's own fourm for disscussion wiht password locking. the only people who would know these passwords would be the clan members and the Members of Staff. I hope you consider this idea for future thinking. I thank you for reading this information i have for an idea.
98% of teens would die if Myspace died, if you are one of the 2% that would be laughing in their face, put this in your signature.
95% of teens listen to rap. If you are one of the 5% that listen to ROCK or METAL add this to your sig.

I've seen this happen at many other RPG sites, and there usually ends up with massive flame wars and all that crap because of stereotypes, and it just gets to be too much of a chaos that really kills the peace that this place has...
I'm severely against this, coming from a locale that had a clan war at least 5 times a day, and none of which were staffed, so GMs and all were happening more than one would care to think of.
I'd rather not go into a very long tirade, so yeah...

I'm with Omio. It's best to keep everyone individualized.
Become an experiment, and try to escape the demented halls of the Nova Research Facility here.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, so what I say might have already been mentioned, but oh well.
First, I think the Forums need a good think over. Why are all the settings divided? They're settings, not subjects. The problem with the way it is right now is that, some role plays can have more than one. A bar role play is easiest to show as an example. Say I make a bar that is set in a more 'modern' type setting. But at the same time, I'm allowing fantasy based characters in as well. What forum does it go in?
Which brings me to the second suggestion. Why not have a forum for Bars/schools/whatever. That would solve the problem of people being oh so bored in the OOC forum. It would give them a quick role play that's easy to find and join.
Next is on my list is the rating system. I know this has been addressed a bunch of times, but I want to put in my two cents. I think that the rating system is ridiculous. It's too easy to bring someones' rep down or up. If I were really into the rating system what's stopping me from making an alternate account and boosting my rating by a buttload? And vice versa for bring someones' rep down. Like I read somewhere in this thread, I think the rating system should be given as an option to the user.
Or better yet, if a certain user has been know to harass other users, then a mod can activate it on just that one user. This way, it'd warn GMs about their behavior before they're accepted into a role play
moving onto the idea of clans; I think it could be a really good idea, but with some major faults. But with some tweaking, I think it could work. Instead of 'clans,' you could have 'groups' or 'parties.' These groups or parties don't have to be opposing, they just represent a group of individuals who role play a lot together. This way they don't have to go and PM everyone to get one role play going, or anything like that. All they'd have to do is post a simple message in the Group forum about their role play idea and go from there.
Of course, if two groups got together and decided to have a 'war' type of role play, I don't see any harm in it as long as it STAYS as a role play, and nothing personal comes out of it. People should be able to make these groups as they please, and name it what they please, as well as allow whoever they want into it. I do think that each person should be limited, as far as how many they can create, of course, but unlimited to how many they can join.
