Starbase 381 ONLY for Roleplayers

The roleplayers in the chat channel 'SB381' discriminate against non-roleplayers. They initially ignore anyone not roleplaying, and if you refuse to roleplay they will refuse to send an invite to their fleet's Starbase. It's that simple...
Don't expect to be treated equally unless you are willing to modify your behavior to suit their preferences. They DO NOT treat non-roleplayers with respect.

Why are you even in that channel if not for roleplaying? As far as I know the channel and starbase owners are exclusively looking for roleplayers. If you are just looking for an invitation to a maxed starbase you are better off by joining NoP Public Service.
One was trying to get easy access to Fleet Stuff (or thought it would be easy access to it due to the Guestblog) but got refused and now is pissed...
Also isn't this technically naming and shamming

Ever thought about humoring them for five seconds and request docking permission, like it says in the blog, before complaining about how they refuse to let you use their starbase as a shopping mall?
Maybe it would be helpfull to adapt? Remember the old proverb
"When on Romulus do as the Romulans do"
OP is just let us know that he is a TRIBBLE, he goes to a RP channel (private) and complain when he doesn't follow the rules...

Oh, cool, another RP channel !!!
I don't see what the hangup is, Brave New Worlds and all that.
But!... But!...
(Throws away targ food)
Perhaps he is a roleplayer roleplaying that he is not roleplaying??, and by posting to this forums, he is actually roleplaying?? .. my head hurts...
Welcome to the internet.
Thank you!, and how are you today?
Cheers.

Is it just barely possible that the OP is complaining about being forced into Starbase 381's roleplay style rather than being able to use/continue their own style?
Just a slight possibility that I had not seen anyone bring up.
You mean they kidnapped him to their Starbase and forced him, at phaserpoint, to roleplay?
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
As he is especially complaining that they do not respect Non-Roleplayers.. that possibility is very low.
Regardless... He wants access to their base... They make the rules, and if he dosen't want to follow them, he is the one who has to either adjust or get lost (from their channel).
Personally I hate (yes... I really hate) roleplayers... They are disruptive and get in the way... 381 at least keeps their senseless babble in their own channel, and I support that strongly...
But I also stay out of their way and their channel, because we simply aren't compatible.
OP should do the same.
He doesn't strictly identify himself as a non-roleplayer, but only talks about the channel members' treatment of people he explicitly identifies as non-roleplayers, nothing that can really read as a style or method conflict.
To go with the devil's advocate theem, I suppose it is arguably possible he's speaking as a roleplayer and complaining about 381's treatment of outsiders, which doesn't fit what I've heard second hand about the group, but kind of makes me want to lurk the channel to see for myself...
That's exactly my point... You hit the nail on the head.
Role-playing is just as disruptive to regular game-play, as Role-players being interrupted can be.
I don't seek out RP'ers do annoy them, like some do, but if they are somewhere where I have to be to do what I want to do, they are pr definition in my way, and disrupting my game-play, and as such I feel no obligation to respect theirs... Especially since I often find the RPing people do provocative... And I shouldn have to switch instance, to avoid them.
But when people bother making their own channel, and then offer their resources as a service to other people who want to use theirs, people should bend over and follow the confines set up by them...
They make an effort not to get in the way, then people who actively seek them out should play by their rules... not Vice versa.
And yet, there's a reason STO is called an MMORPG ...
Respect =/= Giving you everything you want. They respect non-roleplayers just fine.... You attempting to disrupt their RP chat and ***** about wanting access to their facilities outside of their terms is what is disrespectful.
Correction... That's what you and some others call it... Most people I've spoken to call it a MMOG...
Futher supported by very few who seem to roleplay, and those who do, stick to specific areas.
And regardless what you call it or not, I don't roleplay... I never intended to roleplay and I never will...
Like most I meet, I am here to play a game... Not to imagine that I am some 25'th century Kirk.
Edit: Heck... even the webpage avoids the RolePlaying part of the MMO description:
Well I am not going into a argument over this... I admit, I was headed down that road, but I generally try to avoid de-railing threads... The above was a mistake (I still stand by my statements though).
REGARDLESS of what people call the game, The topic at hand, namely if the OP should follow said fleets rules or not, IMO still stands as the OP being wrong on the subject at hand.
