You know sometimes, when you are in the middle of a RP session in the streets, and you have the whole story well worked out and all, some uninvited people post in in and ruin the RP for you. Their posts may turn the tables on your worked out story, or just turn out to be spam. This just ruins your beautiful RP thread. And there's nothing you can do about it, cause Street posts can't be deleted. Here's an example of spamming in a RP thread. I'm sure there are reasons as to why the deleting option has been removed in the streets, but it is quite inconvenient at such instances. What I would suggest is, a street thread can be made into two categories, an OPEN TO ALL category and a LIMITED category. The OPEN TO ALL category is the same as what we have now. The LIMITED category, on the other hand, is quite different. Only people set by the creator of the thread can post in it. Its somewhat similar to the "voice" option available on IRC that allows people to speak in certain channels. This idea can prevent alot of inconvenience faced by RPers. If a person wishes to create a certain RP session with a few associates, with a story written prior to enactment, he/she can now do it without any interruptions. Not sure how far this would affect the codes of the game, I'm hoping be be enlightened about that here. The alternative to this problem is allowing the creator of the thread WACK replies in his post. Hoping to find some solution regarding this.

Report Post Tip

Shit, it came out double :( Please DISREGARD the first para.

Report Post Tip

I agree with you 100% on this suggestion and by viewing the example you shared I think those type of spammers should have their comments deleted.

Report Post Tip

You know, if people who were taking part in a RP thread such as the one you showed paid attention and kept the storyline going instead of disregarding it, SOME people such as myself would not jump in. How long did that thread sit before I jumped in? How long did it sit before I jumped in a second time?Quit slacking and complete them.

Report Post Tip

BTW, the admins CAN delete spam but the street threads are public domain and anyone can post in them. Quit crying and get back to your thread.

Report Post Tip

Hell... I did NOT mean YOU jumped in!!! Your post was good. I was talking about the other spamming bastard. You didn't check my example, did you???
