Is it just me, or are the rules of this site designed far too specifically for people who not only know absolutely nothing about roleplaying, but nothing about Bleach either.
I spent the last 20 minutes reading rules that weren't rules- but explanations for things I already know.
I have a strict always-read-the-rules policy for joining a site, but honestly, I'd like to find something that pertained to this site as an individual rather than just laying out the basics of any old forum RP.
I mean, honestly, "What is Roleplaying?" An explanation of what a "release" is? Did I really have to waste my life reading things that have been explained to me 100 times to join this individual site? I get that you want to be completely user and newbie friendly, but really... for someone who already knows the basics, it'd be really, really nice to have a set of rules that aren't for... I don't know, more experienced roleplayers?
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't skip what I already knew because you have little passwords embedded in all this useless text.
If nothing else you could make it a little more reader friendly. Bullet points, maybe? Numbered? Anything to make reading a shit load of text about stuff I already know a little less pointless and confusing?
Anyway, I've already decided there's no way in any layer of hell I'm going to join this website. I just figured it'd be courteous to explain why. And it's not because you start from the basics- It's because your format is completely unorganized, not reader friendly by any definition, and because you're arrogant enough to hide little passwords in it, as if any of it's actually important to anyone who knows anything about clicking around on the internet.
