To the forumers and all of the roleplayers that enjoy doing this kind of stuff:
Despite the animosity and annoyances experienced by most of the staffers of this forum along with its forumers, I would like to perhaps create a compromise with the dedicated roleplayers and the rest of the Camp Lazlo Forum community.
As most of us has seen over the summer of 2006, there was a radical ban on crossovers. I, for one, was not all that interested in the fact that roleplays have become so ridiculously annoying. The only thing that ticked me off was the horrible habit of one-liners. My other disgust was the random plotless stories that go on and on about nothing and seem to just be a thread filled with really bad 8 year olds first entering a Pokémon themed chatroom on AOL.
On November 22nd, I created a roleplay that exposed the ridiculousness I saw in the roleplays happening around that time. My roleplay, Lopsy Goes To The Dentist, exposed how I felt about the many Original Characters (aka OC's) that seem to share the same boring personality as each other, my dislike towards spam, my dislike towards one-liners (along with a definition to dumb everything down for you ignorant people), and just how I felt about the roleplays. These roleplays are just out there and boring to one's eyes. These aren't stories; this is a giant chatroom that consist of 15 lines minimum per page.
Sanna has been rather annoyed by the OCs and roleplays overall. Again, I just don't like spam and one-liners. Last summer, I offered a compromise that seemed to be ignored by the intense stress we, the administrators, have experienced (with the OCs, te corssovers, Josh's return and leave, CLSFF06, etc). As I read through the posts in the Staff Board, I have come to make a decision to perhaps expose my plan to the public... then talk to the staffers to see if a compormise would be alright to execute.
MY COMPROMISE PLAN:
I plan to create a hidden board in the Camp Lazlo Forum especially made for all you roleplayers to roleplay all you want. This hidden board will not be accessible unless given the direct link to it. Threads and posts made in the hidden board will not be apparent to the forum's main page and the recent posts list. This will keep everything discreet enough to not clutter the forum with pointless confusing posts... and also satisfy the roleplayers who actually enjoy doing this stuff.
All forum rules still apply. I will have some of the moderators to go monitor your boards for tracing of pure idiocy, spam, multi-posting, sexual innuendo, drugs, cursing, and other things that go against the rules. Since this board is hidden, the consequences will be much more severe... since basically we are sticking you in a place that may or may not be monitored all the time. Anyone breaking any of the forum rules will be suspended right off the bat; no questions ask. So yeah.
I beleive I am being generous and fair with this, since my main focus at the moment is to make everyone feel happy and not feel as if we are Nazis that hate you all. There should be some freedom for creativity without the stress of being yelled at or suspended/banned. We all are here for Camp Lazlo, so if there is a lack of Camp Lazlo in the roleplays, well... I'll do something about it.
Feel free to use this thread to discuss your thoughts of this compromise. DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP THOUGH! Again, I have not spoken to the rest of the staffers directly about this. This thread is just a heads up of what might make everyone happy along with making everyone sane. All moderators and administrators are recommended to post your PUBLIC/APPROPRIATE thoughts here... and we'll further discuss this in the Staff Board.
Thank you.
Your beloved admin,

NOTE: Before you say anything... I AM NOT GOING SOFT ON YOU GUYS! ALL OF YOU ARE STILL SLACKERS! So shut up.
