Bad Roleplaying

Bad roleplay might not be malicious, but it is harmful to the roleplaying experience. If you're a newcomer, read up on the bad RP guides to make sure you're sticking to widely accepted text-based RPG etiquette. If you're an admin, use Forum Roleplay's Bad RP guides on your own site to promote good roleplay.
