I probably phrased this wrong with Around not being an RP channel. What I meant to say was it's not a channel meant exclusively for RP. English is not my native tongue so forgive me if I didn't make that perfectly clear.
I have to disagree here. You don't have more of a right to the channel than anyone else just because you think you do. The channel is free to be used by everyone and there is absolutely nothing indicating roleplay should have any kind of priority whatsoever.
The /sh command may have been implemented for roleplay purposes, but again, it doesn't mean that's the case with the entire channel. It's to give you the option to roleplay, not to say "you must use this to roleplay".
As for whether Gidget's idea was or was not meant to isolate roleplayers, I feel like both sides of the conversation are heavily projecting what they think the other person is saying. Nobody is saying roleplayers have to be confined to the RP channel. Just that it would be nice to give them an option to have their own private channel where they wouldn't be bothered by people using Around for other things.
It is customary if people use it to make roleplay which ones have priority to use it without being bothered by non roleplay.
