PM is RP if YOU MAKE it RP

[Pedro.]

this is complicated, guess I'll just follow Kaze and /setpm off

I would also encourage anyone who gets PMs like "Do you buy drugs" to respond to these people and get them to change. Respond with like, "I don't buy drugs from people who can't RP" or something along the lines to encourage them to use RP channels to perform RP. Remember, BOTH parties are required to make a PM considered RP. Just because someone sends you a message in RP over PM, doesn't mean it's entirely RP. If you don't act on it, or respond to it RPly then it's not RP.

Won't work man, well if everyone does it then it might. But before this topic was up, it worked like this:

"want to buy drugs?"
-"Why don't you try RPing?"
"what?"
-"Why don't you try RPing? If you RP, then I might buy your drugs"
"/getphone >call"

Or totally get ignored. Usually they'll RP if they want to sell, like need it fast, y'know..

You think it's complicated for you? Try being the one who had to take hours to make a choice on this only to get backlash from the same people abusing it.

The point is that it happens and we need the community to shape the use of RP out of PM.

Simple - If you make use of PM as a form of roleplay communication to interact with someone or make a deal; expect it to be used as RP evidence in a situation.
Use PM for what it is actually intended to be used for and you have no problem.

IC and OCC-.. oh never mind this is Argonath.

It's not complicated, don't want to RP on /pm? Don't.

The point is that it happens and we need the community to shape the use of RP out of PM.

Of course, it should only be weird for the first two weeks, till everyone gets used to the idea. But now that we're talking about drugs, when do you plan on increase that damn price?

Off to **RP you go!

Well I guess it should be obvious when a pm is sent on purpose ... and when it was a mistake... But I guess it is similar to texts right? You can fail while sending one. So don't /pm hey wanna sell some drugs?

that would be your own fault for sending RP messages over PM.

Anyone who roleplays through PM is an idiot (excuse my french) who haven't understood the point of roleplay and in-game interactions, and should be taught in one way or another rather than making it okay to continue on with it.

Forbid people from sending PM's regarding drug or gamble offers by disallowing it. If it's not allowed, people will eventually use phones or find the person where he/she is.
The only quite valid reason to use PM in a roleplay situation might be when you whisper something.
