It's kind of a grey area I feel. Because in the case of a misunderstanding where the two parties aren't on the same page, the responsibility to be clear about it is on both in my opinion. Something that is obvious to one person might not be to another. A slap can definitely be considered a big deal, depending on the strength and the intent, in the same way that getting stabbed can be funny.

In my opinion if there's a disconnect it's probably better to just retcon the action. RPing the effects of injuries has been a point of contention many times in the past, and I've seen something similar happen multiple times. Nobody ever called it "godmodding" though, let alone banned someone for it.

I do want to point out that it's not specifically against the rules to roleplay in this way, it's just something that is looked down upon, at least until now. Godmodding in the rules is explicitly something different and is about not affecting other people, with no mention of the consequences of their actions on your own character.



I think there's definitely a grey area between the spirit of the rule and actions having unintended consequences.
