This will include how many posts they have/trend of posting or how a player acts outside of their character in a roleplay in the OOCs. This rule is mostly because how the roleplay is set up, we do not want players to feel left behind or such. It is also because the roleplay is a peaceful community and promotes it as so between the players much as Gaiaonline does.
