Tried searching but couldn't find a clear up-to-date answer, so here we are. Roleplay communities have their own etiquette — state preferences upfront to save time.
Finding a community matching your specific interests takes exploration but it's worth it. A dedicated email address for chat platforms is worth the two minutes to set up.
Basic precautions I follow:
- Tell a trusted friend where you're going and share your live location during a first meet.
- Payment requests from matches should always be treated as a scam regardless of the story.
- Public first meetings are non-negotiable. Coffee shop, bar, anywhere visible.
