(I had a very long post to respond to this but my browser screwed up and deleted it all, leaving me with two lines that I had managed to save on my clipboard... -.-)

A lot of users already had reputations before coming here, whether they were positive reputations or negative ones, they are likely to cling to your backs, unless you prove that you've changed.

The majority of people I've talked to, whilst doing some research on this, have all pretty much said that many users who are being 'ignored' have a history of abandoning RPs half way through or proving to be difficult GMs to work with. If a user already has a reputation for abandoning RPs or creating RPs that are near impossible to invest in, then I can do little to help them and the only thing that they can do is improve their reputation by getting more involved with other RPs and improving their own image.

Perhaps we could look into adding a new feature to the front page to promote RPs that clearly have a lot of effort behind them but aren't yielding any fruit. However, effort is a two way street, no one should be forced to carry a GM's project for them as it's draining to say the least.
