I don't think anyone has explicitly called out folks (because of how dickwady it would be), but I have seen new folks express sadness in the past that posting in the Making Connections forum doesn't always net meaningful results because as much as people might want to RP with new folks, its insanely easy to forget to keep an eye out for them when you have multiple real life responsibilities, various in game obligations, or just being human. On the flip side, it can take WEEKS for someone to find another person and stick them in your friend list if no timezone/days/times are posted up anywhere. I know this from experience doing something unrelated.
That's kind of why I'm advocating that if you post in someone's thread saying you are down to RP with them, we should actually provide days/times you are free to show sincerity or even scheduling out some time to meet up and hang out. I feel like people would have more trust for the responses they get and have a better experience in that forum if we do so.
