The most important thing is for everyone to get on board. It's not a matter of whether "I can deal with it" or "I don't mind people griefing" in my personal opinion. What we're REALLY doing is establishing some future shy roleplayer who's just trying out things for the first time? That they're going to be able to come into an environment wherein they decide to actually roleplay instead of hiding that urge and feeling awkward.
All of our organizing, community building, group events to get things out there, etc? Should all be done with the idea of Future Shy Roleplayer in mind. If Reddit/4chan are both going to be in a place? It's going to be horrible for Future Shy Roleplayer and other RPers are going to try to hide away to "Safe" roleplaying areas which effectively means no RP community unless you join through backroads and secret handshakes.
Admittedly, again, I'm going Balmung but... trust me on this one. Try to find a place where you'll get as soft a landing as possible.
