User blog:MafuMufu/Petition: No More Self-Rp's In The Chat

I'm not 100% sure if this is how this works, however, I thought this was important enough to make a post about it regardless and I have gotten permission to do so. I'm starting a petition that prohibits self-RP's in the chat of this wikia. If you do not know or are confused, self-Rp'ing is basically when you RP by yourself with no contributions made by other people. Things such as writing out an entire story in the chat without involving anyone but themselves would fall under self-RP in this case as well.

Why do I believe self-RP'ing is an issue? Well, I have a lot of reasons for that, really. The biggest reason I feel as why it should not be allowed on the chat is that it fills up the chat. I have seen people multiple times doing RP's with themselves or writing their fanfictions IN the chat while people are trying to converse with eachother, which creates an unnecessary headache for the others besides the Rp'er.

Another reason is that it really does not have a place in the chat, especially when it comes to the fanfictions. If they wanted the chat's opinion on something and summarized it for them, I could see that as fine, however, writing out their entire story there is way too much. Not only that, but having an RP in the main chat that is only for yourself is very rude to the others who perhaps want to join in.

I'll try to not make this not seem like rant or something and try to summarize myself here. Overall, I feel that things such as self-roleplaying and the like should not be allowed in the chat because they fill up the chat, interupt others, and simply do nothing to contribute to the coversation at hand.

I do not write this to specifically hurt anyone's feelings or discourage them from writing, but there is a time and a place for everything, and writing literal stories/fanfictions/self-RP's just do not belong in the chat. Any questions, comments, or concerns about this that you wish to ask me are appreciated and should be written below.
