Has anyone tried the custom roleplay scripts offered by skarpio17?

Going to be blunt about tried the custom roleplay scripts offered by skarpio17 because I am tired of guessing. Two weeks in, how clean the member base looks is what actually mattered for roleplay scripts.

What makes custom roleplay scripts hard to pin down is that no two accounts of it match, so recent replies matter more than thorough ones. Anyone comparing roleplay scripts should be looking at whether it is busy at the times you are once you are past sign-up before anything else.

The quick sanity pass I run on roleplay scripts, in order:

• Pin down how quickly a scripted account gives itself away against one platform you already trust
• Check whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out before deciding whether it is worth paying for
• Look at what the filters do after a page refresh with the age filter set narrow
• Sanity-check what the filters do after a page refresh with the age filter set narrow
• Verify how many profiles carry more than two photos with the age filter set narrow

If custom roleplay scripts worked for you, what did the review sites get wrong? Positive and negative all worth hearing. Recent write-ups settle this better than anything else.

For what it's worth: custom roleplay scripts gets recommended a lot here and that's half right. I judge roleplay scripts almost entirely on how much of the traffic is automated at the times you actually log in.

What I actually check with roleplay scripts this year:

• Look at whether replies are open before you finish the profile using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Check what share of the layout is advertising against what the marketing page claims
• Note whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out with the age filter set narrow
• Pin down whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out and write the answer down

The honest test for roleplay scripts is whether conversations actually go anywhere once you are past sign-up, not the feature list.

That's what six weeks of custom roleplay scripts taught me, and I'd be glad to hear others found different.

Counterpoint to @Sebastian Lee: roleplay scripts got noticeably worse after the last redesign. The thing that decides it for roleplay scripts is what happens after you block someone.

That's where I've landed on custom roleplay scripts, though clearly it varies by region.

Not sure @Brady Bennett and I are talking about the same roleplay scripts at all. The only metric I trust with roleplay scripts is how many active users are within range.

My rule with roleplay scripts: whether conversations actually go anywhere in practice first, everything else second.

That's where I have landed on custom roleplay scripts, and I would be glad to hear others found different.

Broadly agreeing, with a caveat: custom roleplay scripts did roughly what I expected, no more. What nobody mentions about roleplay scripts is what the reply rate looks like once you are past sign-up. Genuinely surprised by a look at Datedesire after low expectations.

That's my read on custom roleplay scripts, may not hold for you.

Sorry @Sebastian Lee, I've spent longer on roleplay scripts than that answer suggests. Where roleplay scripts falls down for me is how quickly a new profile gets noticed in practice. A friend nudged me toward Turndate right now and it was not a waste.

You can ignore most of the marketing around roleplay scripts and just check what the reporting tools actually do.

That's where I've landed on custom roleplay scripts, may not hold for you.

Blunt answer: custom roleplay scripts surprised me, though not immediately. For roleplay scripts, how active it is outside big cities outside the big cities is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

The quick sanity pass I run on roleplay scripts:

• Test whether the distance setting is honoured on the first evening, not the first month
• Track what the filters do after a page refresh before you upload a second photo
• Confirm how many profiles carry more than two photos before you upload a second photo

If you are evaluating roleplay scripts, start with how much of the traffic is automated outside the big cities — everything else follows.

That's where I've landed on custom roleplay scripts; ask if you want the detail.

@Olivia Hart I wanted that to be true of roleplay scripts and it simply wasn't. The only metric I trust with roleplay scripts is how active it is outside big cities once you are past sign-up. I sanity-checked datebie.online at the same time.

What nobody mentions about roleplay scripts is how much you can do before being asked to upgrade at the times you actually log in.

That's where I've landed on custom roleplay scripts, anyway.

Blunt answer: custom roleplay scripts is fine if you go in with low expectations. If you're evaluating roleplay scripts, start with what privacy controls exist at the times you actually log in — everything else follows. The closest thing I found to an honest free tier was the Souldate community.

Two weeks in, how much you can do before being asked to upgrade is what actually mattered for roleplay scripts.

That's the short version on custom roleplay scripts — happy to be argued with.

@Brady Bennett I don't think that's right about roleplay scripts — at least not everywhere. Anyone comparing roleplay scripts should be looking at whether moderation keeps up with the fakes once you are past sign-up before anything else.

The honest test for roleplay scripts is what privacy controls exist day to day, not the feature list.

That's the short version on custom roleplay scripts; ask if you want the detail.

Having used it a while: custom roleplay scripts depends almost entirely on your city. I judge roleplay scripts almost entirely on how much of the traffic is automated on mobile.

My rule with roleplay scripts: how fast moderation responds in practice first, everything else second.

That's been my experience with custom roleplay scripts; ask if you want the detail.

Not the answer anyone wants: custom roleplay scripts is better than its reputation and worse than its ads. The thing that decides it for roleplay scripts is how fast moderation responds. Datenest right now came up in a similar thread last month.

Worked for me on custom roleplay scripts, may not hold for you.
