Interesting, BBR. While I knew most of that, I didn't know this part:
quote:
When a thread is archived, all users of RPoL can read it, and all Private Lines within that thread become public text.
Does this also apply to archived threads in Adult games? If so, could we get an addition to either the 'Adult & Mature Games FAQ' or the 'Adult Games Policy' (in the RPoL FAQs) informing GMs of that fact? While the Archive Thread option for GM thread edits does warn, "(shows all private lines)", it makes no mention of the thread changing to fully public as far as reader access goes.
Currently, all it says (that I can find) is the following:
quote:
What other requirements are there?
In an Adult game, any part of the game which contains Adult content must be out of view of the casual user. This means that all threads with Adult content must be in groups other than 0 or public (since anyone can view threads in those groups). Likewise, games are never permitted to have Adult content in the Game Intro or Character Description areas since all visitors to the game can see these items.
If Archiving threads does effectively force them into a makeshift 'Group 0', it might be useful to add 'Archived Threads' to that last sentence.
