There is always a thing about the rights of players, but what about the rights of GMs over their own creations? We took hours to build, why can't we purge members that are no longer going to be posting? It's such bullcrap.
I just thought I'd pop in for this bit here. There
is a way to remove CSs from an RP if they're MIA, ghosted or whatever else. It'll still show up in tags or whatever if I remember correctly. But it'll remove them from the actual character tab on the RPs. This will
not delete the writer's CS. They can still view it, edit it or whatever. It just removes it from the CS... Unless this function was removed or is null. (I can test it later with one of your characters in my RP to see if it works)
Anyway...
You have to go to the
roleplay management page. Which, there is no direct link to this anymore (which I asked for it to be brought back on the suggestions forum because it's super useful). How I get to this page is I got to my
private messages then I click the tab
roleplays which will be in the navigation bar that says "Overview, profile, board preferences, private messages, characters,
roleplays, manage groups"
So you go to the
roleplays tab. It'll open up a page that looks something like this...
If you scroll down you'll get a list of all the RPs you've ever joined and/or created. If it's one you joined it'll basically just have links to those RPs, settings, characters, etc. with an option to abandon. But if it's one you've created it'll list every character in that RP with options next to those characters' names to
Approve or
Remove those characters that looks like this...
This is how I go about removing characters from RPs that should no longer be there either by my own mistake by mistyping a name or something. Or the writer is no longer active in said RP.
Idk if this helps you at all but yeah. It's not the most straight forward thing to get to. Which is one of the many reasons why I wish we had a navigation direct link to the
Roleplay Management page. Because this is how I keep up with RPs and see when there is a new post.
Hope that helps :)
Edit : I just tested this and it still works.
