I play games that are totally focused on rp. But I'm struggling to understand how OOC channels are a bad thing in the first place.

+gag and +ungag commands work great for people who are feeling spammed.

Really, the people who tend to use those commands feel spammed by poses/emotes sometimes as well, when it's a big scene. Are you then going to restrict rp because it's spammy?

And for the few people who have trouble focusing on the IC elements, are you going to require everyone to wear blinders and maintain fullscreen so that the real world doesn't intrude?

It just doesn't make sense to get worked up over OOC chatter. It doesn't even make sense not to join in. These are the people you are spending a lot of your time with. Why would you -not- want to get to know them on a personal level?
