Tag the person on the thread is okay if they haven’t replied after a week or so.

Message them privately

Talk to the owner on that they want to do if it has been a few weeks. Please don’t try to start drama doing this or messages them privately.

I just message them in the thread like, “@Person, can you respond to “character name” please?”

Hey, I’m just wondering how you guys handle a situation when an RPer doesn’t reply to you? How long do you wait and what do you do, @RPers?

After a day or two (24 or 48 hourse) I tag them to see if they just forgot to answer. Another day or two after that and I tag them again telling them I’ll be removing my character from that conversation and if that would be ok

I wait for a few hours up till 2 days. After that I ALWAYS make a post that smoothly separates my character from theirs.

Exp:
I was talking to [name] for a while but noticed that it was getting late. “It’s getting late, we should head back, here, lets talk again sometime” I said and gave her my number before we went our own way.

Time skip
Continue either with someone else or make the post that shows I’m approachable.

I can wait for a long time :star_struck: I waited two months for sunflower.flow to respond oakskdmdo LMAO :joy::joy:

If they don’t reply for a week I’d probably be like “yo you good?” but I always feel bad leaving characters so I just wait :full_moon_with_face:

Same with Chid, I can wait a long time xD but if it’s needed (like BR) then I give like three days or so and if the roleplayer still doesn’t reply (and this is unless I forget :’>) then I ask if they can reply. If it persists, and I really need my character to move, then I’ll just let them know in the chats that I’m leaving their character and making them approachable

True, but I feel like after 2 weeks or so a little reminder isn’t bad to do.
I think it also depends on the person you rp with. I like to be reminded 3 to 7 days after a post, ESPECIALLY if I liked it already.
