Oh my red flags... where do I start.....
1.) Not using all of the letters.  If people are talking in shorthand like we're on pagers in the 90's. I left that decade behind a long time ago.  I can't stand it. It is all I can do to not be vitriolic about the habits and walk away.
2.) More OOC chat than IC chat. - I'm an immersive RPer, I tend to ignore OOC almost all together when I'm really able to get IC. Â
If someone between lines is discussing the latest youtube video or how awseome other event in public channels while RPing, I'll probably pass from anything serious. I don't mind slow typing, but waiting 10 minutes because someone won't actually pay attention... no.
3.) More OOC chat than IC chat. - Round 2. Someone who wants to discuss the potential outcomes of everything OOCly or wants to chat OOCly along side RP. When I RP I want to forget myself, and let the character go, if we're discussing everything OOC between lines of IC text, you're going to get more me than the characters. That sets off my self-metagaming flag and I won't enjoy it. I want to have my character be able to say the wrong things, make mistakes, be blatantly wrong and the like.
4.) Drama mongers. Nuff said.
On one of the earlier topics, folks that leave mid RP, or only do small scene things. Sadly, that's me for the most part. In big crowds, I have about 30 minutes before the chat scroll starts inducing major headaches. My fiancee can't either.  It's a bit saddening but It might have something to do with getting older, but we just can't swing the chat spam like we used to. Â
Filtering the chat down to party doesn't really help because I feel horrible about missing people trying to interact with me in /say or what not.  It also makes me twitch since I'm of a school that anything I say ICly should be audible and able to be acted upon by those that would be able to hear it, especially if I'm not expecting them to.
Also, sometimes the discord bot is exploding (or people are exploding about the bot) and I have to take care of it. (Or the six year old decides to defy bedtime, I'm not sure which requires more mid-RP work than the other...)
