I hate it when people tell me not to post in the OOC because I spam. I don't conciser chatting spam. But there it is. I just hate being singled out and booted. It makes me feel awful. Am I really that annoying to have around? And it really makes me not want to continue to post IC.

I've seen that before. I've seen people leave the game because the OOC gets so much activity that people feel they are missing if they can't check it daily, even if the IC is updated only every other day.

[u]I dunno, I see both sides to this. I love talking to people, so I use the OOC frequently, but I can also get behind seeing a large amount of text you missed. [/u]I don't think you should be singled out and booted for it though. If people have a problem with it, take it up with you or set up Skype or some other chat service if it becomes a huge issue.

I too am on the fence about the balance of chatter and RP talk, but there's a time and place where one is allowed to overtake the other without it causing too much of a problem. As an example I talk about my RC racing sometimes and even post up pics for others to see. It's actually a cool thing to talk about cause I find people always asking questions about it and I'm happy to tell them the answer. It allows the others to understand me more, and therefore understand my personality and why my characters are designed in certain ways.

[@Blue Demon], you mentioned you got singled out for 'spamming' about general conversation, but I've also seen the exact opposite. I have memories of one RP where I left for the night and came back to 50+ posts about the RP where two people were bouncing so many ideas off each other that it wasted everyone else's time. There should be a balance between the two but in my opinion I would rather the balance to lean more towards your direction because if you can generate a team of RPers that are friends, I'm sure they'll stick around and help out any GM in the long run. :)
