Ban Reasoning?
 

Say... I am working on a server. However...

The server I am making is a strict-RP realm. I want it strict seeing as most of the stuff will have a direct effect with everything. So being, to get rid of non-RPers, is it "acceptible" by the people to ban people just because they don't RP? Such as I'd mention in the Terms thatif you DO go on the server, that you agree that during the tiem being ON the server, you MUST roleplay, and follow strict Roleplaying guidelines. (Not just simple guidelines as Using double brckets to mention that the text is OOC, but also that all your actions have a justification as to the player himself in reason of his acts).

To prevent some people being "power-houses", I've totally abolished the leveling system, as in, you won't level up as a Fighter, or as a Priest on my server. The server itself will be based on COMMUNITY. Saying so, if you murder someone, then the player "dies" untill some respawn time is set, or untill someone ressurects the person. If the person murders someone, and doesn't have a justification, then he: Gets imprisioned by players, or gets banned for not RPing (if reason isn't there).

Imprisonment would be basically... When you die, you have your corpse on the floor, and the players can drag the player into cells, thus creating the possibility of kidnapping the King.

Anyhow, Is is ACCEPTIBLE to ban someone on an strict RP server because they didn't follow the indicated terms?

I'm asking this to prevent myself from recieving email from people I don't know saying it's not acceptible by the community to ban someone whom doesn't know how to read terms.

Err PlayerWorld forum?

Gah.. Didn't think of it. Barely go there, forgot it existed. O.o.

Oh well, because that's where it's headed right this instant.

I think alot of players do not understand RP rules enough so banning would be annoying on both their an my part. If you explain rules well enough then I think you'd be fine to just have some jail syste, and not a ban as such. And in the jail maybe say why they are not allowed to play for a set time and what rule was broken so they can get to know the rules.

Make the rules stand out clearly and then inforce ban if they don't follow them, there chance..

Ditto use a bunch of showtext's with color red and huge zooming, and make it zoom in and out...they should get the message xD

Should but some don't :)

I dont like bans for not following RP. I think a lock down like a jail so they can't do anything for a set period is much better.

In my opinion it'd depend on how many times they screwed up. I mean, obviously, if they have a list of 5+ offences, they simply don't care to follow the rules and probably will ruin it for the people who do.

I agree. It should be like first a warning, then next time jail for 1 day, then 1 week. If they still don't follow the rules, they should be banned.

That's at least what I think.

Some people really want to role-play, but just arent good at it at all, it would be a shame to eventually ban such people just because they screw up alot un-knowingly. I agree with Spark

I made something like that once.

On the new bravo that was once being worked on, with the three kingdoms (not the newer era-y bravo).

If someones health was really low, and on an opposing Kingdom tag, you could catch them in a net and capture them. Which would send them to a dungeon.

The jail could either be broken into, and you get rescued, or you could dig your way out with an old spoon (which took a long time).



It worked out pretty awesomely and good, and would like to see something like that on another server. :)

I think it would work good on Kingdoms itself even.

If they can't roleplay, they should stop playing roleplaying games. If you think that is harsh, then you're mistaken. Roleplaying takes serious commitment, and players that aren't any good, can totally ruin the roleplaying experience for others.

My opinion on non-RPers... you should lock them up in a looney bin on your server. Seriously. Like, if some guy in medieval times, was ranting about pwning some newbie and worshipping Tupac, they would lock him away. You should have an RP solution for your RP problem. Anyone that is not roleplaying can just be seen as a lunatic.

Ah yeah, I see. That's much better, I was banned on valikorlia for a year or something for my name as !Wan no warning either ;)
