Board Thread:General Discussion v2.0/@comment-4614364-20151109030601

Alright, so there's been an issue of roleplaying in chat. The rules aren't exactly clear as to whether or not it's allowed, and as a result, many users have been roleplaying. There seems to be a clear split between users who want to RP and users who think it shouldn't be done, at least in the main chat.

I, for one, think it shouldn't be allowed in the main chat for the following reasons:


 * It gets in the way of actual discussion, be it about Undertale itself or other stuff.


 * It encourages spam through repeating phrases and excessive use of emotes.


 * If we add chat hacks to our chat.js, users can simply use multi-PM (I discovered yesterday that it actually works) to roleplay. That way, they're still RPing live time but not in the main chat.


 * One of the users has made an [http:undertale-rp.wikia.com|Undertale RP wiki] with a chatroom, where users can RP in the main chat.


 * I've also considered making a RP forum here, but that may fill up our activity feed, so perhaps it should be made only as a last resort.

However, I don't want to have a voting thread or anything like that. I think this thread should be dedicated to just discussing RP in chat, and what we should do about it in general, if that makes sense.
