Hello! So, @AugustAnimation made a lovely project explaining their policy on pings, and I figured I might as well do the same! What is a ping? For those of you who are unfamiliar with the terminology, a ping is just a reminder message that brings your old message back into a person's inbox! Most of the time (from me at least) it'll consist of a simple '^' or maybe something silly like '(bonk)'! Overall opinion of pings: Pings are very welcome (as long as they are respectfully done, don't be rude about it please-), in fact sometimes I kinda need them lol. I try my best to respond to everyone in a timely manner and check scratch frequently so my inbox isn't backed up, but sometimes comments simply get lost! A ping is a helpful way to bring me to things I have missed! I never (intentionally) ignore someone, so if I do not respond, now you know why. When to ping (Chatting): When chatting, either on my profile, a project or studio comments, if I do not respond within a day (unless it is the end of the conversation) then I either didn't see it or forgot about it, so feel free to ping me then! When to ping (Roleplaying): When roleplaying in roleplay studios, if I do not respond within two days, feel free to ping me! I'm normally pretty good at responding to rp responses in under a day, but there are times that I miss them, and it can be awhile till I realize! So, feel free to hit me up with a ping! When I ping: In chats, I typically do not ping unless it’s really important, so normally in that case I will ping if it’s been a day or longer. In roleplay, it is about a week unless your ping policy says to do otherwise. When NOT to ping: Please do not ping me if it has been under two days for roleplays or under a day for chatting unless it is something important, such as questions relating to TSS! In that case feel free to ping, but keep in mind I am on ETS (Eastern Standard Time) so it might be a good idea to check what time it is for me, as I am inactive between the hours of 10PM and 8AM mostly! Please do not ping me multiple times on the same thing (comment or rp for example) unless another day passes on whatever you have pinged me, it shouldn't get to that point but in case it does, feel free to ping me again! In summary: Pings are helpful for me! Please ping for chats after 1 day of no response and pings for roleplays after 2 days of no response. If you are in a different timezone than me, check to see what time it is before pinging something important under 24 hours. Thanks all!
