(R) and (Q) Rude behavior in Second Slaver War thread

[Southeast Marajarbia]

So, just so that the mods have context, Magnecia was being rude to me in a recent RP, and was kind of mocking me in a way. He believed that I shouldn't be involved in NS RPs because I am an IRL man of small words. I'm autistic IRL, and want to know if this is actionable? I found his comment really insulting towards me.

Here is his comment: viewtopic.php?p=38611133#p38611133

Like this:

OOC: I'm a man of small words. I'll take your comment as an insult if you ask me to stop posting oneliners. It isn't even a oneliner, as oneliners aren't paragraphs.

OOC: if you are a man of small words, then please don't do NS RPs. Perhaps NS is not the most appropriate website for you.
If you find my comment insulting, then you may report against me.

Thanks, but I still want an answer to the original question.

You actually linked to a quote-reply URL, not to the actual post. You can get the direct URL for a specific post from the little icon in the top-left corner of the post beneath the title and next to the poster's name.

In this case, the reported post is definitely crass, but doesn't quite tip over the line into flaming. Some roleplay groupings have stricter requirements regarding posting style, length, or other internal requirements, and it just sounds like this group is one that your personal RP style just doesn't fit well. If you want to seek advice or recommendations regarding roleplaying on the forums, I highly recommend talking to one of our Roleplay Mentors. Ultimately the one golden rule of NS roleplay is that you don't have to play with anyone you don't want to; but that also means that no one has to play with you if they don't want to either.

I understand. However, It would make me feel a little better if you gave him some kind of warning. IDK about you, but if it was that close to flaming, Magnecia should at least be warned, or threatened with a possible warning. It's ultimately up to you and the rest of the helpful moderators.

What Reppy says is true, that different groups have different styles. That said,I did loom. That said, please don't tell us what we should or should not do on a given report. Present your case and leave it to us.
