Okay this may be on the wrong board. If something like this is supposed to be on the proposal board then put it there.

Now, there are going to be many questions you may be asking. Such as, what is god modding? Is this going to be on the rules article? Is it a blockable offense or a warning?

Now, calm down. I'll answer all those questions and any you ask me.

God modding, can have different meanings, but are roughly the same, it applies to RPs. The top definition on Urban dictionary, God modding is "is in essence when someone’s character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. And example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other RP-ers try." There's more examples of what god modding is here, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=god+modding, read the top definition on the second top definition.

No, this won't be on the rules article. Since, its kind of an unnecessary rule to add, on the policies page. This, should be on the Roleplaying board message. Our RP board message is "Roleplay as your HTFF characters in a variety of situations. Now, you can have multiple public roleplays at once. No character? Create one!" this is a good message, but, we should add something about god modding if this were to get passed.

And don't worry, you will never get any warnings or get blocked for god modding, since that is unnecessary and isn't really a major offense. However, if you're god modding in a RP, the person who opened the RP, can give you a warning. Now, the user can chose wether to kick you from the RP or not, after all, it's the user's RP. Us admins, can't decide or do anything about it, unless the user wants the RP to be closed/removed. So, the user who made the RP has the option wether to warn the user in his or her rp to stop god modding, or to kick him or her from the RP.

I mean, you may ask that the user should just decide what to do with the god modder than having this proposal. Valid point, but, a new user might be confused, and might get upset if he or she does a rp and someone is god modding in it. And, some users might continue god modding in RPs after they were told to refrain from it.

So, I answered the questions you might have been thinking about asking earlier. But, you may ask. Why is god modding a bad thing?

Well... god modding makes things in the RP unfair. There's another type of god modding, its when you control the other user's character. Heres an example of this type of god modding.

Lets pretend, i'm using Corvus in a RP. Let's pretend, i'm rping with a user named BillyBobHTF, who is using his OC Billy Bob Jones.

Corvus runs to Billy Bob Jones and bites him, wounding him but not killing him

Billy Bob Jones deflected it with a shield and uses a magic spell, killing him for good. Corvus disappears and can't come back.

Now, it may not be a good example, but this post has a better explaination of god modding. http://rulesofroleplay.tumblr.com/post/35521325648/what-is-godmodding

This may be a very VERY bad proposal and unfair rule that puts a limit on creativity. But, I may have worded this wrong. But what i'm saying is, if someone is god modding in a RP, the other user might have been planning on doing something in the RP, he or she want to show off their character's abilities. They want to have conflict with their own character and with another character, but they can't without trying to tell the user to stop god modding, or without trying to get the user(s) to stay and continue RPing.

I made this, since i've been seeing a lot of god modding moments in RPs on the RP board recently, and it's not stopping despite we told the user to stop.

This needs 10 supports. 10 supports for this rule to be added on the rping message board. -10 opposses if you don't want this to be a rule. Neutral if your indecisive (won't count)
