I actually don't have that many, aside from the usual fair (Godmoding, Metagaming, Not sticking to lore, etc etc)
~ I don't mind if someone wants to write this like a novel and state their entire mental state and thoughts and feelings in a post. It's easy enough to ignore from my characters point of view and as a player I don't mind reading it. It bugs the hell out of me when they do that and the only thing the character then says is "Yeah." How the hell am I supposed to respond to that? You just wrote a huge paragraph about the inner workings of your character and all you wrote for my character was "yeah." Not. Helpful.
~ When it is obvious, so so obvious, you are only roleplaying to be in a romance. Look, we all like Romance - My character is even in one. But if your walking into a group of characters and scoping out which one your character can fall in love with, it's almost insulting. Some people go so far as not even wanting to RP with you if your character is taken or not of the gender they prefer. You don't care about my character, you only care about their sexual orientation/relationship status. And I'm not talking about people who leave their characters open for romance later down the road. I'm talking the people who immediately crush on your character first meeting, make proclamations about love in a week, flirt with a bunch of people just to see which one sticks (Not flirty characters, different thing). You all know the type I'm talking about. It's frustrating, because friendships and familial ties can be just as important and some people take "I want to see where it goes in the story." as an insult. Please don't treat my character as a potential love interest, treat her as a person.
That's it.
