Oh hey, I had no idea something like this was ever discussed on this site. It's cool to see that some people care about RP, but also a shame that all of this advice was buried long before I needed people to see it. x.x

Rarely do people start off as experts when it comes to roleplay. Honestly there are two aspects I think a person has to have a firm grasp on. The first being storytelling, as it's important they know how to create a compelling narrative that is both fun for them to write and for others to read. Second thing being communication skills and the abillity to work in a group, it's important for everyone to be able to understand each other and work together and communication is important for that.
Obviously there are many more important things though those are the two I find to be crucial. With proper communication even lackluster or irritating roleplayed can grow into respectable storytellers, just so long as they're willing to learn and improve.

Even if you finish and lose interest, at least tell them you are stopping. Ghosting them is not the best way to get repeat RP'ers.

Not gonna lie, I’ve ditched, almost on a regular basis. I don’t rp that often, but every time I finish, I just feel embarrassed to even be there. I know it’s shitty, and they’re left hanging, but I just kinda stop being in the mood, and I feel like continuing would be half-assed on my part and it would just be a waste of time. I will try to better myself though, if I ever get an rp again.. couldn’t really blame people for not wanting to though.

I know, I agree it’s shit of me. That’s why I’m trying to change that.
Despite pointing it out, it still happens. Oh, boy. This community. Aggravates me on almost a daily basis.
I have to amdit Im not also able to go that much detailed but so far I went fine ?///?
I think those rules are a bit really too strict, I mean, they're the perfect rules, but it's hard to follow em up completely.

A lot of them are personal preferences. For example, rule 5 really makes no sense. It makes way more sense to write like you would for a book or really any other piece of writing. Marking actions with symbols and not putting dialogue in quotation marks is totally backwards and pretty much unheard of in literature.
I will never understand why or how some people started roleplaying like:
I'm sick *coughs*
instead of
"I'm sick." She coughed.
But again that's personal preference. It is not a universal rule.
I also don't think description is necessary 100% of the time, nor is context or even a basic idea for what you want to RP. Sometimes people like to go with the flow and roleplay whatever comes to mind. It doesn't need to be serious.
However, most of the etiquette related rules provide some pretty good advice.
Edit: I also have no idea what's up with rule 11. I don't understand how asking someone to repeat themselves is going to cause confusion. I think that the OP just doesn't like to repeat themselves, lol.

I usually tend to not write much also because it's hard to take a break from... well..
So it depends, usually both parts don't write much, as far my stories went.

Man, I did some donts but my RP partner did almost the donts...I do all the talking. She only did one liners. I was descriptive she wasn't. And left me hanging...
What I did for donts was I may have acted for her character a lottle but only cuz I was going all the work.

I'll admit I did the don'ts when I was new here, luckily I did improve.
Sadly on those who've ghosted me, don't at least give any criticism. I mean how will we know if something's wrong? And once they've ghosted you, they're hard to get a hold of.

TRUUUUE!
Like when someone ghosts me I feel like I've done something wrong, but I don't know what! Because I get no feedback about what the other person thinks!
On the flip side though. It only takes one person getting ultra offended by your critism to not want to give it anymore since a lot of people online are ultra defensive about how they do things to a point where they won't listen to what others have to say. People don't want to come here to get opinions/criticism thrown at them, it happens enough RL already.
I always open myself to it though but I understand when people don't want to give it as it often just feels like a waste of time and time is precious.

Not sure if it's been covered in this thread, but please, PLEASE don't try and hit on your RP partner without their permission.
If you are trying to use srp sites as a dating app, you are doing it wrong. ESPECIALY since not all female characters are played by female users.

Ahh...anyways though, all jokes aside this is a very good list. Kudos to the author.
Wow, this is an old thread. Still if the OP reads this I disagree with the first point. I like to just get down and dirty without any real story behind it, or it just acts as a placeholder for the real fun.
If my partners like that, then why not?
The rest, I agree with.
