remember, my standards are devilishly high!
when members break codes (eg. apps/member directory posts) and it's very obviously broken but they just leave it and don't tell anyone like... please... please let me help you. being asked for help is never annoying but it's incredibly frustrating to stumble across broken posts randomly!!

People who don't read the lore. Seriously. It's there for you to read. At least read the guidebook if you're not going to delve into ALL the lore!

I didn't even notice this thread pick back up, but I HAVE MORE! :D

Admin peeve....

I believe I mentioned the whole, writing the lore thing before. I really don't like it. Because it feels like no one reads it anyways.

But like, forgetting the lore too. Ha. Now I have a lore channel on discord so that all my random lore splurges can go there so I won't forget it now.

Also the people that come in, don't ask any questions, ignore all the rules, and just think they can do what they want? Yeah, not about it. Don't come at me with 'your lore is too complicated' when you haven't even tried to read it fam.

And another... Why does everyone insist on coming in and trying to hop on ships right away?? Why don't people get to know the plots and things first before like "oh I wanna make a ship" before even making their character?? Like I get it to an extent, especially on jcink where r18 content exists, but fam, I'm on proboards. We aren't even ship central on our site, we've got like 4 active couples. at best, out of the like... 200 some characters. slow your roll please, we ain't about it. x.x

existential execution is just a fluke in evolution.
my biggest pet peeve is when people will come onto the site and obviously not read any of the lore, yet still go and ask staff questions that are basically answered (especially if we have a f.a.q. and the question is on there!) it really just grinds my gears! also newcomers that come on and start acting as staff of a rp site do this full time, when odds are we have lives outside of rp and are quite dedicated to them.

^ Biggest peeve as a staff is related to that.

People that come in and ask all the questions that are easily answered if they just frigging read, and ask everything known to man about the application process, so that you're basically building a character for them. They have no intention of doing anything themselves and expect you to carry them through the whole process. So it is basically like you are making a character for them and telling them how and where to rp and everything coulda been answered if they just read the damn things .-.

I agree that there are stuff which can be easily read and don’t even need to be asked. I can get annoyed at that because….It is out there.

On the other hand, I don’t mind if people ask ‘clairification’ questions because it shows they did read what is in the guidebook and just didn’t understand or simply wish to triple check.

So there is honestly a fine line between not reading and asking the obvious.jpeg vs actually reading and wanting clarification.

Clarification questions are just fine but I mean people that are like "soooo... what's the plot?" or like "I'm gonna give my character cat ears but not have animal shifting as one of their abilities." sort of people. lol. But if the question is like "im confused about -this specific- part of the plot" or "i know the setting says it's this, but can you go into more details about what that means" that's all perfect I love questions like that. lol
