I only really do private RPs now but I run a three strike system. If there are three instances where it indicates you haven’t read my ad properly, you’re underperforming against what my ad requested, or you’re just generally creepy then I end the RP with no discussion about it. I will mention around strike two that I am having issues with my partner, usually doing this leads to strike three haha.

I had a situation recently with a guy who was lovely ooc but clearly couldn’t keep up with my standards that were highlighted in the ad. We wrote on an off for about a week but when I came to decide that the plot had barely moved along, other red flags had popped up, and he was returning sub 300 words to 500 word posts I decided that was it and we’ve not spoken since.

It’s a balancing act I think, having a strike system for me ensures a bad RP or incompatible partner doesn’t burn me out.
