Roleplay Etiquette?

[Deleted]

So the one thing that drives me nuts is Open threads. Because they end up a jumbled mess, people skip others too much and then they are left to catch up in the rp. I was thinking perhaps some basic rules could be made for open threads. Like follow a posting order, and if a person doesn't post for a certain amount of days then you can an skip them. It just a pet peeve of mine I don't know if anyone else feels the same way.

I was part of a roleplaying site that did this once, and as crazy as it sounds it turned into utter chaos. The post order caused people to become lazy with their posts or made them too long, or they outshined others in the roleplay. It caused a lot of confusion between us because we had to respond to multiple questions at a time with our charries. Overall, it made it even worse. It could be different here though, just my ideas on the matter.

Someone was going to send out a mass PM about posting order, but I guess it didn't happen. Really, what happens is up to the players. You guys make the open threads, you guys should be the ones making sure they're running smoothly. If something's not running smoothly, you message a staff member with the thread in question and your issues with it.
