You know what I find extremely annoying? People calling others "bad role-players." Apparantly when one is deemed a bad role-player, people ignore the person, most of the time, and generally just block them from any form of role-playing.

Reasons people are called "Bad Role-Players"
1. Bad grammar: So and so doesn't use proper grammar, that must mean he's a bad role-player, right? Obviously not, because even if good grammar is sometimes needed, it doesn't mean they're bad at roleplaying. They could be extremely good, but they just don't use grammar.

2. OP character/godmodder/flawless: This one somewhat makes sense. Yes, they're bad RPers if they godmod, or if they're flawless, or have an OP character, if they have RPed many tims before. But if they're new, it makes sense. Most people assume that newbie RPers are bad, because they godmod and such, but they're just new. So instead of yelling at somebody for being OP or something, give them advice on how they can improve their skills and hopefully not godmod, or make their character less OP.

3. Because they simply do funny/plotless roleplays: This one just makes no sense, because most of the time, a funny or plotless roleplay is a JOKE, not an example of a bad role-player. That's literally all I have to say.

4. They manage to kill another character: This one makes absolute sense. If another player dies by getting killed by another player, and the player that is dying/has died didn't give permission for said player to kill them, it makes sense. But if they ARE given permission to kill them, then of course it's perfectly okay.

There most likely are more reasons, but these are the only reasons that I know of that demonstrate how bad RPers are identified.

I honestly, wouldn't even say somebody is a bad RPer in the first place. They're probably new or inexperienced. Also, sarcasm about how they're "not" bad RPers doesn't help either.
