If you are being told to keep it IC it is following one of these reasons.
A) You are complaining about something IC such as a "False Arrest"
B) Metagaming
There are no other examples that I can think of that dont fall under these two reasons.
The purpose of OOC is as follows...
- Discussing anything outside the game (e.g. using LOOC to notify a party that you have to leave mid-RP, etc, etc)
- Asking for assistance on game mechanics when no teacher or staff is available to help (e.g. asking how Meth or Weed works using Global OOC, etc, etc)
Things OOC should most certainly not be used for...
- Complaining about arrests, punishments, shootouts, or rule breakages
- Arguing with other users about something whether related or not related
- Insulting other users (most likely to result in punishment from staff)
- Flame wars (likely to result in punishment from staff or OOC chat being turned off entirely)
- To advertise in-character services
As previously said, you should exercise common sense when speaking in OOC. Having a completely OOC conversation in the global OOC chat is perfectly alright, but it should be kept civil and....we'll say PG for lack of a better term.
