I know RP hogs exists. I don't question that at all. I think I have a different definition of RP hog that you do. So, perhaps I've oversimplified my response. Or I haven't had to deal with it at the same level you have had to deal with it.

My approach would be to deal with it IC if the character's behavior was IC. If the character's behavior was an OOC detriment to the game (ie typing so fast and so much that they spammed the other players to the point they couldn't play) I'd come at it OOC, but then I'm dealing with what I would consider a different problem.

How would you classify the budding novelist who needs to spend five minute writing every pose and expects everyone else to sit around idle waiting for them? I've encountered this far more often than I have someone trying to hog all of the RP, and I've never found a successful IC way to deal with it.
