I'm a pretty chill admin, I suppose. On my forum, I know it's canons, but like we still have a whole world I have built and I personally don't mind if my members do something that shakes things up. As long as they don't break the world, and have talked to the staff about their idea beforehand, I really don't mind what they do. Wanna destroy some buildings in the city setting? Go for it. Wanna cause a gang war? Have fun. I'm pretty chill about it because change is growth.
As for pre-established relationships, in any way, shape, or form, as long as both players agree, I don't care that they are established. Sometimes, have a pre-established relationship opens up the door for RPs and easier integration into the lore. I have pre-established engaged characters on my forum with my S/O. As long as they are not OOC/Mary or Gary Stu-ish (for OCS) in their establishment, I am like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
If, say, someone important leaves the site, I usually act like they were sent home (because LI has canons) or maybe died (when OC RPing). You have to come up with something to explain it and just move on? Make it a plot point that fits into your lore?
I just roll with things, because at the end of the day, RP is about writing a character. As an admin, we have to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that people are active and not sitting on characters/FCs. As long as the lore is followed and the world isn't broken, I'm not gonna stop anyone from doing anything. I have Alex Mercer running amok on LI, making NPCs Zombies and the BNHA kids and Alucard from Hellsing are all having to deal with the clean-up. It's fun, and never something I expected when making LI. There is already enough to stress about when being an admin, I don't wanna add more to my plate when it's not really hurting anything.
But that might just be me.
