Board profiles and submitted roster page threads both have multiple instances of OOC material on them in most cases. Mentions of "threads" is OOC, the word picbase is OOC, a description of a "special entrance, if any" is something that might be debated but wouldn't make sense to screencap if someone decided to do that. The mention of whether you're "new or returning" does at times get responded to in an OOC manner if they take it as being per handler vs per character. Comments in the additional information section can either be IC or OOC, but in many cases we can tell when they're OOC. Mention of where a handler lives as opposed to where a character lives... etc... I'm sure I'm forgetting some examples too. Unless a person puts a full page layout over their account profile that hides mentions of threads and posts, registration dates, etc... it's filled with OOC content. Unless a person who filled out a roster page went out of their way to remove all of the lines relating to new/old, picbases, descriptions (why would an appearance need to be described IC?), and additional notes, then those also are filled with OOC content.

Yes, others in the past have done the things I'm saying to not do anymore, which is why they have to be put a stop to... enough people have done them over the months/years and in general receive negative reactions either on the boards or privately. Why would I mention them if nobody had ever done them in the past to become a problem? Bringing up that a past party has done something I make against the rules now, is never a valid argument for why it shouldn't be a rule, but rather is the reason it's the rule now. I will usually let most things slide for a while (sometimes a long while) before I eventually have to step in and make a rule.
