What? A haven for an army of alts? This would, simply, be awesome. But wouldn’t this divide it even further? As of now, there’s an obvious line between CD and RP, in fact, there are some people (looking at you, banhammer) who don’t even post in RP anymore. But, without any, yknow, positive reinforcement for roleplaying, it really defeats the purpose of it.

I think the general line of thought is that role-playing is its own reward. It seems to me that role-playing hasn’t gone anywhere, it’s simply become more “meta”. Instead of pretending to be the type of people who troll other sites, many players have taken an active role in trolling Flamebate specifically. You only validate their actions when you make mbumive threads like this one detailing how much harm they’re doing to the community.

Get rid of the Anonymous boards, though. Sure, we’re all more or less anonymous behind our screen names, anyhow, but at least in non-Anonymous threads you are held accountable by the community at large. There’s a huge difference between being an bumhole where everyone can see you and say, “Oh, that bumhole again,” and being an bumhole where nobody aside from the mods can tell who you are.
