Local OOC can sometimes be tolerable, if it's just short and quick, but a lot of the times it'll go into small talk or discussions that a lot of people just don't want to sit there and have to listen too. Usually less of a problem if there's no RP going on, but the amount of OOC going on during crowded arena days, or GM events wears out it's novelty quickly. And, I mean, everybody local OCs every now and again to get information across or easy communication for grinding, or whatever. But there's a bit of a difference between that and just talking to someone while others are trying to RP.

The implementation of a local OOC channel on it's own would be perfect in my opinion, but even just a filter or a little bit more cracking down from the GMs during hectic hours. Most people I see doing this kinda stuff usually have the other person's Skype, too, so I don't see much of an issue with GMs going ham on the issue.
