I have some standards when it comes to RPing. I especially enjoy 1x1, so I tend to look the other way when I work in groups because there is always the black sheep who does not meet my expectations.
The first one has to be godmodding. I hate it with all my soul. It is totally cringeworthy when a person takes control of not only his character, but also yours and every NPC around just to wreck havoc. The moment a person starts Godmodding, I know it will not work because once you learned to RP with godmodding in your mind, it is hard to take it out.
Secondly,
This to the extreme. I had a partner who would always have her characters run around reasonless-ly trying to disrupt the continuity of the story, and that irked me. Not once, but twice. Sadly, the girl was too sensitive when I faced her over this. Consistency is a must.
Then, we have grammar. Were the grammar Nazis to exist as a political party, I'd be the führer. I do not like grammar mistakes, but I have learned to tolerate them and cope with them for the reason that most people here do not care that much about grammar, so in my request thread I state that I am no a grammar Nazi just for the sake of having more appliants. But yes, grammar mistakes kill my brain cells. Not so much about typos, we all make mistakes when typing, so that is really excusable.
One-liners are also really turn offs for me. I hate them with a passion, especially if you write a full paragraph and the person 'one-lines you'. I have finished RPs for this same reason.
Finally, manners. We all make mistakes, and I am a VERY forgiving person. And I am really serious. I never get angry because I am not a violent person. Although I do lose my temper, there has to be extreme cases. But really, if you are going to be absent, please let me know. There is this girl who I was RPing with who just vanished 20 days ago. No warning, nothing.
RPing is a delicate thing, I must say.

Other than that, I mostly enforce consistency within the story. So long as what you are doing can be justified in a way that isn't just "This way I win.", then I will probably be fine with it.
