Personally, I pride myself on my cynicism, nor am I one to give people chances based on various factors.
If you're:
-Scantily clad and approach me IC without being attached to someone I know or give prior warning, I will try to bail from that ASAP.
-If you have abysmal grammar, I'll humour, then bail if you're not affiliated with my lot. Otherwise, I'd be inclined to instruct for the betterment of the FC in general.
-If something seems off with the lore, I'd need to discuss if they happened to word their explanation poorly or dissuade them from that path..and bail if the second occurs.
-If your character is unnecessarily stand-offish, hostile and snarky, then poor past experience tells me you're probably doing that because you can't do that IRL without someone crashing your teeth in. This point is often met with extreme resistance and hatred towards me for mixing IC and OOC, but thems my peanuts, and I like 'em salty. Either way, I bail.
-If someone I trust happens to talk smack to me behind a stranger's back that pertains to their reputation such as..godmoding, ERP obsession, vindictive nature or anything else that gives me reason to dislike them, I will believe this rumour-spreader and take their advice in avoiding this stranger without giving them the chance to explain. I just BAIL.
These are the reasons, along with many others why I aim to get my characters out of RP hubs. Because 90% of people I meet in them will wind up in these areas. It means I don't have to be a bully, to ostracise. I find a group that can function independently with its own story without risking the involvement of those that can't be trusted with the importance of character development.
If you people want quality in your RP, you're best off finding a group you can trust with your character and their story's involvement with others, progressively building the group based on the agreed standards everyone's laid down. If your character is a loner, that doesn't stop you from joining an IC FC OOC with the intent of organised RP.
Sorry OP, but anyone worth their salt has already tried keeping an open mind and realised the absolute pointlessness in the endeavour. This might be bringing us back to our school days with cliques, bullying and ostracisation, but they were in place for reasons. So we didn't have to talk to people we don't like.
We get along more with people who HATE the same things we do.
Like bad RPers!
