RPing in a way that's considerate towards others, or as I like to call it "paying it forward".
Good points by others so far, here's something about what not to do.

Good points by others so far, here's something about what not to do.
Don't do stuff like this:
- Injuring your character constantly so that your character's situation is always more dire than other character's situations.
- Only being interested in RP if it's "about" your character.
- Ignoring other's hooks or developments, or having your character go out of their way to diminish their importance, or worse, hijacking them.
- Having your character develop abilities that quickly and obviously overshadow long honed and RP'd abilities of other characters. ("You're a conjurer? Wow so am I suddenly! Except I don't just use small bits of stone, I lift house sized boulders out of the ground and conjure waterfalls from the air! And I just learned how to do this yesterday! We're total conjurer peers now XD")
- Sudden retcons that impact others severely because it's inconvenient to keep your history. ("Fascists who believe in thought-crime think my character is too young and made me feel bad =(. I know I'll just age them five years without warning.")
- Canonizing fetish in larger RP circles and hiding it until ties are too deep to back off with ease. ("No one's gonna tell me my futa-baby is wrong! Doesn't matter that I hid it until I was good and involved with others.")
Some of these may have been the catalyst for my fall out with certain unnamed groups.
