Hey folks. Jillips, Jillfish, or whatever the heck you call me here. It's time that we all get together around to talk about puppeteering in roleplays, and how it's a problem.

Now, what is puppeteering, you might ask? Puppeteering comes in three different forms.


 * 1) A roleplayer taking control of another roleplayer without permission.
 * 2) A character using mind control on another character without permission.
 * 3) While it's less severe, it's forcing a character to do something through various means.

(All three of these reasons have been supplied by Mangled. Thanks for the help.)

Now, this is a problem, as it makes roleplays conform to one user, and it ruins the experience of roleplaying overall.

So in short, '''puppeteering is not allowed in roleplays. Do not do so publicly.'''

As mentioned in this thread, Godmodding is also a problem in roleplays. Puppeteering will be dealt with equally on terms of severity, as said by Lexi.

That's all I have to say. Thank you for reading.
