Before you instantly type oppose, just hear me out, okay?

(For those who don't know: An RP account is a Wikia account created to RP, typically as a character from either a video game or an anime.)

As we all know, this fanon wiki was created to keep track of OCs and RPs. And of course, since the beginning of time itself, RP accounts have existed. Some find them annoying, others find them cool. Others have a middle ground. I myself used to find them obnoxious, until I eventually just decided to shut up since they'll always exist anyway. 0u0

But... On this wiki, we really don't need RP accounts. Literally anyone can RP as a canon character or OC in the Roleplay Board, so there's not much point to making an entire account to comment as a character. Hell, you can do that without RP accounts and without confusion by typing "Name: Insert dialogue here. *insert action here*".

Now granted, perhaps RP accounts can have some use in the chatroom, but RPing in chat disrupts the flow of conversation. Plus, even then, you could still use the "Name: Insert dialogue here. *insert action here*" thing.

That is why I'm suggesting we ban RP accounts.

TLDR:
 * RP accounts are worthless and should be banned because...
 * We already have a Roleplay Board where you can roleplay as whoever you want, without the need to create an RP account.
 * You can use the script format to comment on pages as a character, without the need to create an RP account.
 * You can use the script format to RP in chat as a character, without the need to create an RP account.
 * A lot of people on the Internet find RP accounts obnoxious in general.

Also, wether you support or oppose, please state your reasons for WHY you support or oppose.
