You know... my problem with that would be the "tremble in pain". ONE, it forces something else on the other RPer and TWO it implies that what the one character is doing the other doesn't exactly want OR shouldn't be getting... as it causes pain.

Those "swears" don't bother me in any manner.

And the OOC I was speaking on, wasn't just in format. I'm talking it was a player, not the character, that wanted to keep the event for "later". And put it on another character for "safe keeping". Which is also a CRB.

I ran into a similar problem like the ones described here, One of my characters was violently raped in game, cant say it was random but it was fairly disturbing but after an OOC message it did stop, I just wasnt sure if it had continued how I would have reported it or even if it was against the rules .

I have seen something, which I don't wanted to see and this is something, I really hate.

Is theire anyway to erase that char? I mean not only to kill him. I don't wanna see him in my char history or something. in 2 days he is 25 years old, but it is for me okay, if I only play with 14 char slots. But I don't wanna see his name again.

Change his name. That's all you can do. But do it before he dies, or you'll lose your chance.

You want to kill your char because he has seen something awful?

I have a really soft heard in some things. And hey I had read a pocket book with over 300 sites in 2 days, because there I read something, which was a little bit like this. (Normally I need a week.) I can't speed it up so I have to erase it.

Yay, the sex topic has revived itself! :lol: :lol:



I am sticking with my original idea (cannot remember which one I stuck it in) that suggests that there be an option within the player profile that allows them to not be subject to graphic RP, be it sexual or just excessive violence. The checkbox, if checked, would either a: have that players characters viewed in a different color, or b: when whispering (which is when most of these cases happen I assume?) a message appears above that characters dialogue box stating their intention to not be exposed to explicit content.

I agree with Doug. This is as good as putting a bulls-eye on minors... Can't be a choice...
Censorship of some kind for those who check? What's to stop a minor from creating an adult account?

Technically I could move a character to a non-existing account so that they would stop being on Saalko's character list and the death report also wouldn't get sent, but overall it sounds rather confusing.

Couldn't there be a rule that you cannot write what another character does or how they react (unless it's necessary to repeat something that the other person rp'ed earlier)? I'm not sure if it could be seen as a part of the CR but maybe it could be in a way that your characters are supposed to be individuals and if you are rp'ing the actions of someone else's character, that means acting out of your own character.

However causing people pain or discomfort through sex shouldn't be against the rules in itself as long as the other player is ready to handle it. Causing distress to characters is okay, causing distress to players is not.

Also, as long as Cantr doesn't require a credit card or another reliable method of identification to prove a player's age, it's up to the players themselves to define how mature they think they are.

Seko, what you are talking is known to as "god-modding" and is against general RP etiquette and could get you banned from a lot of places that use RP. Cantr, however, has no rules about RP etiquette... and breaks a shmit load.

Forcing things on other RPers, in general, is technically against the rules of RPing... well in general. :lol:

I have a better idea! A checkbox for players who can't refrain from stupid violent porn in a RPG where minors are allowed. When checked there would be a big freaking warning text that says "This character may be a serious sicko" and as well an option to let anyone anyone once and for all ignore everything said and done by that character. Anyone that didn't check this box and still provided violent/sexual content to possible minors would be warned/kicked.

If you're an adult it's your responsibility, you can't pass the responsibility over to a minor.

Though it is the adults responsibility, not all adults will follow just the same...
Has anyone thought of a possible ignore/block command? Click on sicko in question and then click block?
To avoid abuse of blocking everyone and such maybe fill out a short form IG then the button appears...
just another idea...

Been thought of and/or suggested before.

Block them, ban them, mark them... both parties, neither, only one... sometimes, make it against the rules... it's all here.

Most games have an ignore command but there has been the argument that people shouldn't block out negative aspects of society since it's a society simulator. But when it's about rp that's not backed up by the mechanics, it should take at least two players and not one player imagining (and writing out) reactions of the other person as well to get the kicks out of it.

Personally I fail to see what one person needing to do pervo chit to someone else in game has to do with society simulation? It's more like mental disease simulation.
