Okay, I've put this off way too much. I'll be placing some concrete rules down to help this place out.
1: It's just a goddamn game, have fun.
2: For the love of christ, do not godmod. Godmodding is doing things like 'always dodging the attack, it didn't harm him, his attack struck the target as always, etc.' This shit is annoying. ...However, I also understand there's genuine reasons for it, such as having an end-game enemy battle the player party early on. Naturally, the enemy will utterly brutalize them. Along with this, some OPs may decide to have their villains/more powerful characters do things like this to show their prowess- but if it becomes an issue, and/or if players complain about it, actions will be put forth to correct this.
3: In that same vein, no godmoding. Godmoding is controlling over peoples’ characters. I know we all like to write, but just stay focused on your own character(s), okay? It’s just a little respect issue since you might characterize the others in a way their player doesn’t want them to be.
4: Script format is bad. So is text speak and the like. Unless the situation requires it, such as the characters are reading a script or texting one another, don't do it. Similarly, I advise against using first person format- makes it very messy and hard to keep track of.
5: If the OP denies your character, fix the problems or roll another character.
6. BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER
7. PARTY ON, DUDES.
