#Rules & Guidelines

The rules and guidelines below are abbreviated. The full version can be found here. You are responsible for reading these before you post.

1. Ads seeking text-based roleplay are allowed. These should contain a good description of what is being sought and the medium over which it is to play out. There is a 300 character minimum to ensure enough descriptive elements are available for a quality post. Any post marked as "Spoiler" will be removed. General posts on roleplay questions and discussion are welcome in the stickied meta post, not as parent threads. No Group RPs of any kind are allowed. Discord servers of any kind are also not allowed. D&D, d20, and other TTRPG systems groups post on r/LFG.

2. Posts and prompts must be SFW. RP that is predominantly or heavily NSFW, or which requires NSFW, is not welcomed. Posts cannot contain explicit content and AutoMod will automatically remove all posts and comments that include curse words, common kink/BDSM terms, sexual and/or other offensive language. Obviously fetishistic and euphemistic content will be removed. Attempting to circumvent the AutoMod with misspellings and/or euphemisms will result in removal of your post. "NSFW Okay" posts are not allowed, as this is a vague term; your post will be deleted. Using an NSFW tag to get "18+ people only" isn't allowed..

This includes linking to inappropriate content or copy/pasting the same ad, theme, or idea that appears on NSFW and/or fetish subreddits. Crossposting and/or obvious copy-pastings from any NSFW subs will result in your post being removed.

3. As per the reddit TOS, engaging in NSFW RP requires that participants and characters be 18+. If you're underage and talk about it, or overage and solicit from minors, you will be immediately banned and reported to admins.

4. Contact information must be presented or exchanged out of Reddit public view. Don't include it in a post subject, body, or comment. You may not link to an external site where this can be found or attempt to lead people to a location where this can be obtained.

5. There is a time limit on how often you can post: Users seeking 1x1 RPs are limited to one submission per 24 hours. Do not use multiple accounts to advertise the same ideas - additional posts will be removed and account(s) will be warned/temporarily banned. Deleting an old post to subvert the rule will result in a ban. Your account must be 48 hours old to post to help us avoid low effort/quality spam.

6. Be courteous and civil towards others. Report trolling, rudeness, and other issues to the mods. Fanning the flames and/or feeding the trolls is also against the rules. Use the report button on posts - that sends the mods a note and they can investigate directly.

8. No external links. Links to images, Google docs, tumblr, Discords, social media, etc. will be removed. Attempting to redirect users to where they can obtain these links will also result in removal of your post. The comments section of other posts is not the place to advertise for these and may lead to a ban if you use it to spam.

9. Do not participate in vote manipulation. Suspected vote manipulation will be reported to the Reddit admins as this is a Reddit-wide rule. This includes everything from wildly inflated votes by passing links on to your friends for them to upvote, to consistently downvoting new posts. If all the posts in the top 10 that are for 1x1 RPs have 0 upvotes except yours, this is considered griefing and is a bannable offense by Reddit.

10.: AI RP is Banned. AI Roleplay will not be allowed to be advertised for on this community. AI is "written" by stealing others' intellectual property.
