  1. I have to heavily disagree with this, while I understand that you might have nostalgia of the past and whatnot; in the end roleplay  is more or less about  portraying something in a realistic  setting per say but writing your own narrative/story within said universe. And yes people have different types of fun, but I'm fairly certain I speak for a lot of people when I say that tons of people have way more fun when they roleplay a character that's realistically driven with a life and actual friendships/relationships etc that keeps them coming back for more, instead of a character that's 22 and has killed 60 people in a gangwar.

    A lot of role players actively ERP.

     

    Erotic role play is I dare say also a big reason for many people to roleplay in a first place. They just like/need to do it for (reasons).

     

    Psychology a-side, people are going to ERP regardless of what you do. If you ban roleplaying in-game, people will just do it on discord and similar venues on behalf of their LS:RP characters. At this point, you're better off to let it happen in-game instead, where you can log and moderate it if the need arises (these worst case scenarios).

     

    That being said, ERP is not the problem. The problem is people who solely ERP, or rather fail to produce public quality roleplay. Instead of trying to and failing to combat ERP, what we should do is crack down on roleplaying quality, concept portrayal, realistic development and/or however you want to call it. The problem is the boatload of 20 y/o mary-sue characters that happen to be supermodels, professional street racers, business owners and cold hearted killers in the same time. Stereotypically, these "kinds" of people do ERP a lot, but it isn't their ERP that is the problem, it's everything else.

     

    Focus on things we can realistically combat. Start deleting "bad" characters, let these "not fit for LS:RP" bans fly and generally try to actually encourage, uphold and enforce quality with more effort than just on-paper one (we're a heavy rp server, don't metagame << is that really the bar?).

     

    What people do in the privacy of their bedrooms probably doesn't bother you IRL, and it shouldn't bother you here.

     

    PS: I get your point and the playerbase you are refering to, but you're focusing on the wrong thing.

     

    PS2: The paedophilia topic is too long to get into, CBA, but yeah - it's bad.

     

    One thing though, banning in-game ERP will make it harder to spot paedos in the community, not easier, because our users will be groomed in discord dms rather than an in-game bedroom.

    Echoing this, I think @SCANDALOUZ hit the nail on the head with this.
