OOC usage

Just wanted to post a reminder that everyone should be sparing in their use of the OOC command.  OOC should be used for information that must be communicated but which is not IC, such as command syntax or OOC times for IC events.  

OOC should not be used to comment on how much you're enjoying a scene, to chat, or to communicate IC info.  Some people also use it to correct typos, although you could also just repeat the emote with the correct typing, or let it pass.

Proper use of OOC:
>ooc You can 'sit at bar' or 'sit at 1' or 'sit with muscular' to sit at a coded table
>ooc This Sunday, 3pm EST
>ooc Be sure to email imm@armageddon.org for clan board access

Improper use of OOC:
>ooc LOL, that was funny
>ooc :)
>ooc Someone stole it from my locker
>ooc d00d, I branched ninja-kick!
Nyr: newbs killing newbs
Nyr: hot newb on newb violence
Ath: Mmmmmm, HOT!
