They could still write all the smut they wanted but if people wanted to make AC they also needed to do some threads that built general CR

... smut threads can build/deepen cr, though? like this is honestly a weird take. if a thread is 80 comments building up to smut and then 15 comments of actual smut, why shouldn't those 15 comments also be allowed to count for ac? why should they be disqualified just because they include the actual act?

Well, they said general cr. As in cr without sex. Personally I always disqualified smut as ac in games I ran since they weren't sex games and I didn't want to have to check smut over and I felt like that was fair enough.

i like this logic

mods should only allow for the threads they personally want to read to count toward ac. it would make modding so much less heinous. personally id ban any thread involving characters regurgitating their canon tragic backstory like they're in therapy from counting for ac.

ac challenges. this month you can only submit threads that have no dialogue whatsoever for ac. next month your characters must discuss buying a pony to have the thread count for ac.

I absolutely think smut rp can deepen CR. I play it all the time in psls, memes, off to the side of my games, and have played it in games in the past. But I've been on a gen and plot kick for a while. If I plan to put a ton of work into plots and also want to play out and foster something more gen rp focused, the only way to really ensure people won't be using the game as window dressing for their smut rp is to ban smut rp in game, especially since it doesn't stop anyone from enjoying it off the comm, myself included.

Banning it waves a big unwelcome sign to people who are exclusively interested in smut and nothing else. It affects who self-selects in and self-selects out. Most people only interested in smut and nothing else aren't going to app into a game where smut can only be done off to the side. Just like people that aren't currently interested in smut aren't going to app into a game that has a smut AC, which is the exact inverse of a smut ban.

my last smut thread topped 200 comments and maybe only 20% of those were actual smut. the rest was all buildup and then pillow talk afterwards with the characters feeling relaxed enough to let their walls down around each other for a while.

definitely a skill issue if you're not getting good cr out of your smut threads.

It's not even about bad or good or CR-deepening smut. Honestly, this seems more like it's about people getting upset some people might want to focus on non-smut because it'd exclude them as a player.
