I just got refused entry to an rp guild

You can't really take too hard the selection processes for RP guilds. Sometimes they do go based upon quantity and nothing else, this isn't the best approach as piling in more prose and text filler doesn't make for a better sample if the underlying process is terrible. The decent ones do check for good grammar, syntax, and spelling. This is fair, Firefox has its own spell-checker, I think Google Chrome even has a grammar checker now.

I don't want to say it's incredibly easy. A friend of mine created a sample once and orchestrated a mass submission across a few accounts to various RP guilds across the GGN. Not a one of his requests was turned down, yet all he did was spend a few extra minutes with MS Word to make sure everything was clean. According to him it was ultimately 2 paragraphs and about 10 minutes to come up with the scenario. He's taken some college writing classes though. Most ironic was he ultimately became deterred by the prospect of RPing at all.

I don't have a spell checker but I'm going to paste it on word from now on! I never actually thought of using it XD

Though you have to beware of small typos like I do with on and one. Spelled correctly so it can be easily missed.

because I'm not "literate enough to be accepted" I'm not william shakespear! I can't write such in depth paragraphs that they make you aware of even a spider falling fro the ceiling at the other end of the room or a bird crashing into a window a hundred miles away!

I think choosing members from how well they can write is discrimination!
a friend of mine tried to enter this guild too but she got denied as well, she was highly offended because she's dislexic and spent ages and ages on the roleplay example. it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than some of the posts I've seen there (she only had a few minor spelling mistakes here and there, NOBODY'S PERFECT!)

I'd laugh if that guild dies because it has too few members

does anyone agree with me?

I like this guild, I'm learning a lot!

You can either take this as just me being honest; look at it as constructive; or see me as a p***k.

This post makes you sound immature and whiny. It makes you sound out of touch with decent story telling pace; it makes you sound like you have a bad descriptive sense; it makes it hard for me to believe you're very good at making well rounded characters we can relate to or at the least feel passionately one way or the other about; this does seem that you generally have the technical end of writing down decently enough. However it seems like you have more trouble with the esoteric end that makes or breaks writers.

This is all however my opinion on a brief snap shot from the post about a rejection. I'll post something later once I actually get motivated to actually look into the matter. I think this importantly does 2 things. From what I understand the people you applied to only had the one chance for an impression from you. This is to illustrate an impression you may or may not be making. Secondly to contrast the impression of once I actually look into this and get to know you and what's going on. I'm worried because of how my thoughts don't translate well to text this all sounds far more douche-ish than it is in my head. The emphasis should be that this is more about a poorly and briefly formed opinion; based from a snap shot.

I did sound whiny, and your not a p***k or a douche, I don't usually have much time online and have to write fast or I lose my work, It helps to know what people think of me, whether I like it or not

I prefer honesty as well. I do like opinions but I need them to be specific to be constructive. Feral was a bit brutal too, I didn't know I was all ready on a band wagon of be brutal to you. Any-whosal do you still have that profile? Also yes, you do need to work on some basic grammar. However instead of just mindlessly harping on you. I doth have solutions. I offer these to a lot of people as they've helped me out a lot.

(shrugs) I intended to be brutal. That's why I put the warning as an opener. I just don't like sugar coating things. I also don't like being rude or needlessly brutal in my characteristic blunt honesty, hence the warning. I readily admit to being an a** but I try to be fair about it.  

[Wrasynth Ksyamen]

Oh it was blunt and honest which is what I prefer. I just didn't know I was doing the same. I could of spent 30 seconds to find out I was all ready repeating the same act. Metaphorically, not to imply that this was 'acting'. I'm also reposting the same tips I post to anyone I see having minor trouble with writing. I however think it should be taught like this in schools as it's one of the best ways to make 'it' stick. Anyways sincerest apologies for being the second guy to roughly say the same thing. I hate that when people do that personally. I'd hate to have it done to me. @_@;; sorry.

Online Web Learning?

We utilized this last summer for our Biochemistry subject and it was fun because we could refresh the page if we got the wrong answers to our homework until we finally got the right one which was the one the program recorded. blaugh

I wonder has anyone had any strange character profile rejections.  

[Feral Knight]

Kind of. Once participated in a beast race rebellion RP, and was given a warning because my character was too civilized.
