There's always a threat of things like this turning into a clique, but I honestly don't feel that's the case currently. The RP and OOC channels aren't a power grab or attempt to control anyone's writing, the code of conduct was written with input from channel members who - in many cases - had never met before.
I didn't know VileTerror until I joined the channel and yet my opinion was heard, respected and added to the discussion. At the end of the day that's all the code of conduct really is, a discussion on how to be civil while leaving everyone enough room to explore their characters.
If I see anything sketchy I'll be among the first to speak out but I'm hopeful right now as things have been good.
