Accountability: Oh gee, did I forget to post?

Perfectly good roleplays with good writers and great characters and relatively good Gms, roleplays that seem to be rolling along well can go down the toilet in a flash. And then leave you scratching your head and wondering why. Because no one seemed to have a problem with your roleplay, and everyone seemed to have a grand old time plotting and all that lot. But then they just sort of...stopped posting. And you, the Gm, never really messaged them to ask them why. Because is it your job to remind your members to post?

People forget to post for many reasons. Perhaps they have a bit going on in their lives, and they just don't have the time to check all eighteen of the roleplays they are in every day. Maybe they have gotten lazy and don't get on often. Or maybe they were waiting for someone else to post, and the other was waiting for them to post. If the member in question still comes on, but doesn't post, then they are killing your roleplay. And I don't know about you guys, but that irritates me to no end. What do we do about this?

How much of this accountability thing is the job of the Gm? And how often should it be implemented? And where else should it be implemented? If we know the member is on another site, say deviant art, then should the Gm take it upon himself to give the member warnings if they don't seem inclined to get on Gateway all that often?

Also, as a member of a roleplay, should one message the Gm if things are getting slow and no one is posting? Or is that rude? Or should he message the other member if he is waiting on them to post? Is that a job of a good roleplay member?

What do y'all think?

I must admit, I'm rather mad...but aren't we all? Insanity is one of life's greatest joys, eh?

'Romeo oh Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?' Translation:'Desperate, desperate, I am really desperate.'

Do you, do you ever
only
live because
you
are afraid to
Die?
