Imperial-Hammer posted: #3.) Attitude / Self-Righteousness: It doesn’t matter if you’ve been RPing for 10 years, or if you’re an admin on another site, if you haven’t demonstrated that you’re a skilled RPer here on these boards, don’t expect to be taken as such. The RPF is a “show us” type of forum, and you need to earn your wings before you will be taken seriously. The number one complaint I get from oldbies regarding new users is that they don’t want to be taught, and have “chips on their shoulders.” While this can go for any other forum on the internet, it bears repeating. As a new user, respect the norms and social structures of the boards you visit. Unlike other boards where you can be considered a “newb” for a long time, the RPF carries a pretty dependable guarantee that if you work hard and play by the book, you’ll find your e-status improved considerably. Coming in antagonistic, and taking a GM’s ruling angrily and/or personally will get you branded as a pariah very quickly. The RPF is a welcoming board, but it is a professional one as well.
