In the server, I was going to tell a player to type /help rp, but I tried doing it first (I couldn't remember if doing 'rp' in caps would mess up the command or not) and tested the beginners guide and rules links, both of them took me to an error page. So maybe update them with the new RP rules link and any other info that might need adding or removing?

If someone wants to clean it up, I can update the text.

Could you please define "Clean Up"?

Like, Rewritten to include the new link to the rules and tidbits to the most frequently broken rules, "No /me in rp" for example, and "no RPing in global chat"

 

If so, I can do that in a matter of minutes.

Ugh.


._. My most sincere apologies, lapse in judgement, brought on by work related fatigue and my new anti-anxiety meds which i've started taking. Im still trying to adjust to how they make me think. [about 10 times more sluggish than normal]

heres the updated text

Roleplaying is not allowed in global chat.
Use one of the chat channels made just for role playing.
Type these to join them:
/ch rp
/ch rp2 (also there is rp3 and rp4)
/ch g (type that to chat in normal chat again)

When in any of the RP channels, Please avoid using /me for actions.

Before you start a new Roleplay, have a look at the New rulesheet to answer
any further questions you may have.

I would change this:
/ch g (type that to chat in normal chat again)

To this:
/ch g (type that to chat in general chat again)

Just so that it's consistent with what's already written on the RP Rules and Guidelines - G chat is referred to as "general chat".

Isn't it supposed to be 'Global' chat?

It does mean "global" but for consistency it shall be called "general" here.

When in any of the RP channels, Please avoid using /me for actions.

Just a suggestion, but would you be able to put the reason for this in there as well for new people and old? It's been a rule for a while, but nobody ever seems to remember exactly what it does and can't explain it when they ask apart from saying "Just don't."

It's pretty easy to explain - the /me command sends to general chat. But you're definitely right, some minor elaboration wouldn't be a bad idea here.

From what I was told, about how the /me command works [dont quote me] When used in another channel, It broadcasts to Gchat as well.[?] So we dont advise it. At least thats what I heard, and whats written in the rules.

 

I just had it added to the /help command for quick reference. Same basic principle as the "dont RP in global chat" rule.

On a side note, /me kinda dirties up the Roleplay experience, as it uses [playername] said <blahblah> When in all reality, it could be an OC, or one of the mane 6 speaking by one of the players in said RP. 

Kinda breaks the immersion factor. 

Thats why I personally dont like the use of it, and advise the use of *blah* or -blah- Either or works. But thats what's referred in the rules, and thats the way we like it. ^_^ Hope this explained what you were asking.

So this needs updating again. You need to remove the parts about /me being disallowed in rp, since /me is usable in the rp channels thanks to the /nick command.
