"Coming to cinemas near you this FALL... Rated R for RolePlaying!" /shotintheface
And no. Kids can still read RPs on this board. Try to keep it all PG-13 if you can

^ This.
Nothing on this board should be R rated. No exceptions.

I remember something like this happening over a year ago, and a mod locked the RP and mentioned that the members can resume the RP - but only through PM exchanges due to the direction it was taking.
So can an RP have "R" elements in it? Not if you want to have other people be able to read it. If you take it to PMs or outside of MLK, then you can.

Well as DGF stated in his reply you could right a rated-R role play through private messages, but in the actual role playing forum you should keep it rated-G (PG-13 at most). But as Flip FTW stated kids can still read the role plays regardless if they're members or not. So it's essential that you're careful what you write in the role plays or in any reply and topics for that matter. Remember The Lion King is a classic family film and therefore My Lion King should be a family friendly forum. But as long as they are being written through private messages I guess you're not doing any harm. Of course it isn't really my say rather it's allowed or not being that I'm obviously not a administrator or moderator.

Private messages are private, by definition, so there's no way for anyone to know.

I would like to add that although PMs are private (unless they are reported, in which case moderators can see them), they should still not be used as a medium for RPs that would normally be against the rules (or anything else that is against the rules). PMs, although private, are a part of MLK and therefore fall under our universal rules.
There are plenty of other websites for your naughty RPs.

^ This. I don't know if what Moka is suggesting is necessarily mandatory, but if you're going to do rp's like that, I would only recommend you'd stay away from the youngin's in pms. There are parents that go through what their kids do (I know mine did) and there is the prominence of legal action that are taken against sites that allow this. Despite the burden HAVING to be on the child for not reporting it, the burden WILL fall on the administrator even if he/she couldn't have known about it UNLESS the kid reported. Therefore, it's safest to just do it off site like Moka suggested for the forum as a whole.
-takes a bow-

To be fair realistic description of violence is still as inappropriate on here as sexy timez. The answer is still the same, use your common sense when RPing on this board.
