This is silly and I can't believe I have to say something about it, but here we are.

Interaction has to be mutual. If you are bombarding someone with posts/comments/PMs/whatever trying to get their attention and it is clearly unwanted, cut it the fuck out.

Spamming someone's profile with a bunch of cut and paste nonsense because they aren't giving you the attention you want is stupid. That isn't roleplaying. No one else even sees it unless they know it's there, you're just harassing someone one on one. No one is required to sell for you if they don't want to, outside of treating canon XWF events as such. Matches, etc.

Furthermore, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the term "godmodding," what it refers to is taking full control over someone else's IC character or universe and doing with it what you see fit, without any consent or input from anyone else. Such as, I don't know, let me just think of something off the top of my head at random, BURNING SOMEONE'S GOD DAMN HOUSE DOWN.

Think about this: if I just decide one day to post a segment where I show up to James Raven's house and murder his family, sell his kids into slavery, and rape his dog... should he have to sell it for me if he doesn't want to? No. That's

and I probably have mental issues.

So - if your character's whole gimmick is "post a bunch of threads begging for attention" - that's fine. Knock yourself out. But don't assume anyone is REQUIRED to give you that attention. Hell, maybe THEIR character's IC response is to ignore you because they know it's bothering you. MAYBE that is part of the story. But once it crosses over to IRL annoyances like a dozen comment alerts a day or repeated PMs, that's an issue. Once it turns into godmodding where you're causing changes to someone's story without their permission, that's an issue.

And frankly, some of you should know better.

Thanks.
