I'm afraid I'm agreeing with you way to much lately. But what you say above here is very true much of the time. Roleplay does indeed mean something different to people, which is why it is hard to determine who is a good roleplayer or not except by your own standards.

In NWA we have a help file to encourage serious in depth roleplay and it talks about the importance of tuning out channels and staying off of AIM and other ways to be what we call GAOR or the Golden Advice of Roleplay. While not all follow it, many do and find the experience better for it.

Some would say getting rid of all channels would help and sometimes I agree, but, you can't force a person to get rid of 3rd party chat rooms or to stay ic 100% while gaming (which would be ideal, but impossible if outside interruptions, phones and so forth intervene). So we do what we can to accomodate while trying to help to get the best of roleplay.
