Not necessarily. If you accidentally say a “gotcha” word (it’s a slur several thousand miles from you and you had no idea or you said it on accident [bc see previous]) or you don’t know about a forum only ruling (one example is how nyaspeak is an accent bc ??) you can easily get banned just as if you’d violated one of the rules on the rules page.
There’s also the fact that LRP behavior, even if it is RP, is somewhat inconsistantly enforced (due to lack of admins) to the point that it can be subjective to try and figure out what can get you banned. Rules as intended LRP behavior isn’t allowed period but it happens all the time and very few people, not even all the people on the forums, actually have a sense of what RP on beestation actually means.
Is it little wonder then that I stay far away from here most of the time? If I didn’t need to get hours in to redeem myself I would probably do actual play as little as possible because I know one measly slip up will get me banned. For those who know, it’s scary to play on Beestation. Feels like playing with dynamite.
It’s also why I make so many jokes and play clown all the time, because I’m worried if I got serious and tried something legitimate I’d get banned.
I’m also curious on this because like skyrat is the only server i can think of and on an unrelated not has like a super high pop… beestation still offers one of the best codebases imo (and open turf fusion my beloved)
That’s super subjective tho… I’ve given plenty of reasons why something could be believable but because it doesn’t meet a hidden standard, it is rejected… and as all of the reports for RP/character violations show… no one can agree on what believable even means
Except SS13 doesn’t abide by the standards in the slightest. LRP, MRP, and HRP are almost entirely meaningless in the context of SS13.
People assume LRP means no roleplay; MRP either means sometimes there’s roleplay or that roleplay standards are low; and HRP can either mean, “Yeah, roleplay exists” or “You will be permanently banned, cast out of the community, and your next three generations will be shamed and denied entry if you do not act out every single nuanced move of the secret handshake I told you about three months ago.”
It fails to set any true baseline outside of what you personally perceive the acronyms to mean. That’s why we re-branded to just RP. The baseline is that roleplay is expected. Simple, concise, and easy to understand.
