# Pastebin e3eAoaRv The GM team has noticed an issue with relationships and related RP taking over IC interactions. While relationships are inherently not an issue, the way we’ve seen it handled has been. To be blunt, the amount of dating simulator type romance we have seen is not only tone breaking in that the PCs are supposed to be adults in an adult job and adult relationships, but inappropriate OOC. Our minimum age is 15, this means we will have 15 year olds in chat. And that means we can’t do certain things, and bordering on erotic roleplay is not one of them. We also want you to be more mindful of public channels being for open RP, meaning taking over an entire IC or forcing out another scene for your relationship is unfair to other players and projects an elitist and unwelcoming game environment. Both of these actions are also uncomfortable to other players, who might not want to see this kind of RP or who would like to do a scene without it. **From now on, we will be enforcing the line on what is and is not appropriate for IC channels.** If asked by a member of the GM team to stop a scene, or dial it back, please do so as well as be mindful of your fellow players. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out we will be more than happy to clarify or discuss concerns with you. This is not a ban on romance in Horizons, it’s still very welcome but it needs to fit in these parameters.
