Akin to a safeword. An OOC "Stop!".

Throwing up a redflag, stops IC play and starts an OOC discussion about what is going wrong.

The person throwing a redflag is communicating that they are not comfortable continuing the line of roleplay.

Haven has a rule of "no forced rp". Meaning you are not expected to sit there and endure things that you aren't enjoying. We are here to have fun. Good RP does mean trying to work with what others are doing, so we do encourage trying to work with what you get, but you may redflag RP that is destroying your will to play.

Also used to indicate some form of communication is no longer acceptable.

If one finds themselves unable to tolerate another player, they may redflag all further communication and anything more is considered harassment.
