I'm sorry to hear this, Becky. But sometimes that sort of thing is necessary. It's not fun, but it sounds like it's for the best for your game. Shannon...
Sorry to hear about that. What you have to keep in mind is that as the admin, the game is your baby, so to speak. If someone doesn't like your idea or...
... You do bring up a good point - sometimes it can help to phrase it more in the singular rather than the plural (though there can be times when it might be...
I wouldn't normally do this, but looking among my players has so not worked, its kinda scary. But WAR needs some new banners for banner exchanges, ad stuff,...
I have a rather odd question I'm sure, or maybe just silly and showing our lack of experience, but I hope you will all give me some advise on this. Bit of info...
I expect people's ads to be succinct and non-offensive, because it's on my site and subject to my terms of service which state: "As a user, you agree to use...
If I ran an ad group and this happened to me, it would depend on what my rules say about this specific type of advertising that would dictate how I'd react to...
My title actually has a double meaning, as it seems to apply to two problems I've been having and thus, two questions I have. As a mod, I attempt to make sure...
For the first bit, why not let the person have their own thread or story line or whatever you want to call it? I'm not sure what kind of game you run so maybe...
On the first point, I really hate this as well and have had issues with it over the years. But one of the nice things about my game is that since it's a bunch...
For your first problem, I think I played with him once. A player who always wanted to be the center of attention and the mod who allowed him to do that even...
Is there a shortage of games out there all of a sudden? Last month I was in a flame war. One thing I did was decide to close the archives on my game. Since...
Well first, congratulations on your five year anniversary! And second, I think I'd be a little cautious of that as well. There are so many people out there...
Ha! No, the world revolves around me. I seem to be the center of like this huge nexus of online RPers... which is weird but seems to be what happens. :-P ...
In all seriousness, as a Head GM I find myself as the spoke of the wheel, and worry that if something happened to me, things would disintegrate. Finding GMs to...
Thank you for the congrats. I may be changing my rant to, "New players and how stupid are they?" One I didn't allow to join cause she didn't have a Yahoo...
So am I paranoid or is the fact that the archives are now closed enticing people to want to join to find out what is happening? ... I'd say it's more likely...
One I didn't allow to join cause she didn't have a Yahoo profile. Adult game, sorry you need to have a profile. I can't say, "Sorry you need to have a profile...
I don't understand what you guys mean by "profile". I mean, I've got several yahoo aliases or whatever linked to my main yahoo account. I could go into each...
... For whatever reason, having a valid adult age in the Yahoo profile is something that Yahoo prefers for adult groups. No, I don't know why they consider...
Unfortunately, this isn't always so clear-cut. I know that the only reason I have a Yahoo ID at all is because they started using the picture verification...
I agree with this, too. People will put whatever age they're going to in their profiles. I'm not really sure that there's anything people can reasonably do to...
First Issue: I agree with what some other people said. Make her the bright, shiny center of an independent or loosely-related side plot. Again, as already...
Agreed, you can put any age you want on your profile and I wouldn't know. But she didn't bother to put any age. There is still the fact that her e-mails were...
There is still the fact that her e-mails were strange and gave me a very bad vibe. ... And that's an important point in the end. Too often I don't listen to my...
... is something that Yahoo prefers for adult groups. No, I don't know why they consider this more "reliable" than anything else, but it's something that's...
... That's a very good point. Either way, as a mod I only know what a member tells me. If there's no info in the profile? I can't say that I even thought they...
I misunderstood the reasoning here. I thought "better safe than sorry" referred to like, going to jail for having kids on your adult group, or being arrested...
When I first started playing and modding, I was too nice. I got walked all over all the time, and I didn't know what to do about it. Eventually, I became a...
