Several people have mentioned to me that this forum is not for Group RP. I don't really understand the definition of that. Can you please provide me with a definition and examples of how the RP on this forum and group RP are different?

Thanks.

I think they mean is this is the role-play that is just here-and-now, not long term unlike groups, actual groups that are formed for a single role-play. Dead Island something was a group RP that I attempted to join.

Normal roleplay;
Anyone can join -unless specified- no group requirements.

Group roleplays;
Where groups post a role play and go 'GROUP ONLY ROLEPLAY TO JOIN PLEASE SIGN UP FOR -Insert group name here-'

We believe this forum is for thread role-plays only. If a group appears to post a role-play thread for their group only, I assume that's okay.
However, we are against posting threads to advertise their Role-play groups. I believe the advertising for that specific thing should be in LWID.
^ This is just my opinion.

I think the main difference is the layout. For one thing, a group RP would most likely have to follow group rules, include only people from the group, some story line that follows group lore (If any.) ect. Our RP's usually consist of our own, custom sets of rules, and we usually allow anyone to join unless something is wrong with the character sheet, such as a violation of the rules.
Now, then again, this is not the place for advertising a group, RP or not, in MY opinion. It is as well as not a place to advertise RPing games, which would go in the Look What I Made Section (If I am correct.)

They could advertise their group in Look What I Made (which is becoming I Made That) or in C&G, though I suspect that C&G might be mean to a role play group. What do you think?

So if I added "No group advertising" to the rules of this forum would that help solve the problem?

Yes, I think something along the lines of a no advertising rule would be good.

It bothers roleplayers severely when they do post group roleplays, or also make stories about battles between different clans and groups. It would definitely help us out if you added it.

Wait, what's wrong with group roleplays? They aren't any different from regular forum RPs, besides the fact that they involve only a select few RPers that are members of said group.

But I can see why group advertisements don't belong here.

This is even a problem?

I remember my friend Kevor and I formed a group for roleplaying called "The Lands Under Shadow". I think Kevor deleted it after the RP was over. I could understand if the group was advertising but if they're RPing, it's their RP, so as the "game master" or original poster, it should be their right to write the rules for joining. If people don't like that they don't have to join it.

Of course, that's just my take on this type of situation.

I don't think the problem is the group role-plays.
I think the issue is advertising groups here. They believe that since the group is based off of role-play that they have the right to post their advertisements here.

So Group members are solely advertising and not posting actual RPs? That's a problem.
