I get really annoyed when OOCs get swarmed with random chatter and it clutters things.

I also really hate it when people make dick characters that seem to be solely made for the sake of being a smart ass douche.

Depends on the context, Gowi summed it up well.

This we can definitely agree on. The nihilist-wannabe character who's too cool/dark to care about anything also applies.

These type of people also tend to be incessant godmoders and powerplayers. They often want to triumph above all others on the roster, and I've seen quite a few powerplay their characters to the top before the GM interfered. And, worst of all, I feel for the GM who has to deal with it. Having been in that situation before (both in RPs where I watched it play out, and RPs where I was the GM), its hard to get through to these people that their character isn't fitting the bill. They'll fight you on it, but instead of logically dropping out of the RP, they want to justify to you that their character belongs, even when it really doesn't. They also try so hard to say "I'm not a godmoder/powerplayer" when all prior evidence contradicts it...

Wip sheet?

One pet peeve that I have (which thankfully have not yet appeared for the past few years...) is when a person intentionally steps in after a plotted moment and breaks everything that was planned/spoiling it. What the fuck. Can't I have some quality RPing? Why must you ruin a moment of mystery?

I believe there's a fine line between discussing things you like and having a few short conversations, and then using it like an IM message board where people post in it within minutes of each other.

I'm all for having conversations in the OOC that I'm in, but people do need to find important info sometimes and 5 pages generated within 24hrs doesn't help.

Now, one of my biggest pet peeves in GMing is when people act all entitled and self-important when submitting a sheet. Like the kind of people that act like you're supposed to let them in. Like, biiiiiitch, you're asking to come into my house, you gotta play by my rules, or get out. Most of these people are the type who argues with the GM over character changes (simple ones at that) rather than just going to edit the sheet. Doing this is a surefire way for me to say no.

Oh yeah, and people who submit "wip" sheets. You either give me the full sheet, or don't give it to me at all. From my experience most of the people that post a wip never finish the sheet at all.

Lemme go a bit beyond the "When people leave without saying anything" complaint;

What really annoys me is when people leave, you ask them if they're coming back, and they still ignore you. Luckily almost everyone will respond if I PM them about it, but you do get that occasional person who just refuses to say anything on the matter.
