Most likely distasteful due to the fact that there are minors on the board. So, it would most likely warrant a delete...or something worse.

It depends... subtle references are commonplace in some RPs in the NationStates forum, but if it's gratuitous, we'll put a stop to it.

Oh. Just wondering as I have seen people in threads doing it. I'll point it out next time I spot it.

Save it for an IM session or somewhere else, private of course. It is like making out in public so that everyone can see. It is just wrong. It is better to make out in private somewhere.

To elaborate on what my associate said, gratuitous descriptions of sexual acts fall under the "obscene" clause of the NationStates Terms and Conditions (http://www.nationstates.net/pages/legal.html).

I would like to point out that NationStates has numerous associated IRC channels - *cough* ahem, hehe...

Speaking hypothetically, wouldn't /query windows be much more private than channels? There's no chance of anybody entering the /query while you're in the middle of something.

Why would Sirithil want to seduce Tactical Grace?

...and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Sirithil one of the good elves? :p

I'm no minion of Sirithil!




Oh wait, crap, noooooooooo!

First, the query windows go without saying. Just more convenient to be in a channel first. And in any case some are like graveyards at night.

Second, Siri? Not gonna happen. :p

Third, always practice safe RP.

Fourth, kinda weird to be dispensing this sort of advice...I think I'll shut up now...

First, well if you just need a channel to find out if someone is online, then couldn't you just hang out in #nationstates or #nationstates_general? ...or just use "/notify"? Why do you need to meet in a special channel?

Second, No Comment.

Third... oooookay, noted. Otherwise, No Comment.

Fourth, that's your choice. Though if you could address the first point before you shut up, I'd appreciate it.

Minion != Sirithil herself

Okaaay...joking aside, we can't really be encouraging this sort of thing in any shape or form, can we? So, run along people, and keep the General Forum clean. But if you absolutely must, do it somewhere else. :)

Special channels are more fun.

And yes... we shouldn't be discussing this in Moderation :p
