The others will then have three choices: to continue as they've begun with other who agree that their style play is just fine, to improve and join the better roleplays, or to create a new RP of their own in which they and improving players play.
It sounds like what you're asking for is Storytellers or Gamemasters, and at that point, someone's running the RP and the rest are playing in it. We don't say you can't do this.
If what you want is for mods to be STs -- well, that's a good deal more involvement than some of us want. Others of us already are involved in RPs of our own.
If you want monitors in threads jumping in to say "you can't do that!" it's going to cause more problems than not. The best thing about RP is that it IS creative and freeform -- if you want police, then people might as well read from a script. Not to mention that I'm quite sure that there would be massive complaints, as per usual, about any modding that might happen when it's not some OTHER guy who got told.

I think some of you who are complaining about standards are going to have to put your money where your mouth is and work on improving them among those players you interact with. For example, if a group of you agree on a workable "standards" list, one of you could write them up as a single-post "RP Manifesto", the OP could request a lock so it is not cluttered up with OOC objections, and those who feel it is useful could make a point of politely TGing its link to new players. Or refer any new players to it when they enter your RPs and ask them to agree to it if they want to continue. As Reppy has pointed out, OPs have enormous power within their threads. You could, for example, insist that if any OOC post is made in the IC thread, it will be reported to mods for deletion.

Maybe if II improves, we can get some of the good rpers off of regional boards and back into the broader community

More established RPers have the option to create closed RP's should they, and newer players are freee to get the "noobishness" out by RPing with others. I find it rather elitist for some of the more practised RPers to look down their noses at new players, getting snarky and snobby with them. I would like to point out that they had to start at some point themselves, and I am quite certain they made a few mistakes along the way themselves.
So I would have to put myself on the side of No New elite "GOOD RPers ONLY" Forum as a part of NS. Should they want to create their own, fine, thats an option. In my own home region we have had our own forum for RPing since 2003 and it is still in use. But to demand that either (violet) or the Mods create a NEWBS KEEP OUT forum? No, thats not the way to go, in my opinion. That is just elitism, narcisism and snobbishness at play.

I would also like to point out that Justorica's post is a prime example of the sort of thing happening to II. This is, after all, clearly marked as an out-of-character thread.
No offense intended.
