On the one hand, it's a mite counterproductive to exclude what is, as others have commented, a very important tidbit of fandom activity. The LOLTOOFREQUENT argument doesn't really work because, well... Kingdom Heart, Death Note, CLAMP and I-SHIP-IT secrets are also fandom faves, and you can't just objectively draw the line for some, while maintaining the rest.
On the other hand... RP secrets do seem to generate quite a bit of d0rama. I say this as a fandomsecrets follower, RPer and RP moderator - it's no thrill when someone chooses to stamp a violent commentary alongside the username of the "offending" RP account, and call it a "secret". Maybe, as some posters have suggested, consider banning secrets that aren't general enough (" I hate this approach to X's characterization!!!! " as opposed to " ZOMGWTF player A's interpretation of B is made of PHAIL PHAIL PHAIL KILL THEM WITH FIRE " ? ). I don't know whether that sort of move wouldn't then force you to extend the courtesy unto all activities, tho - no more linking to individual fanfic and deviantart accounts and some such...
Yeeeeeah, so in an end, here's 0.02 that you've probably already taken into account. Sowee. ._.
We pretty much already do that, I mean -- like the personal attack thing, if it goes into "this person is a terrible roleplayer kill it with fire they suck all over blah blah" then that's an attack, but if it's just like uhh today's wher eit's like "yeah I dislike the way they're played" or "I think they're OOC" or whatever then we kinda keep 'em uhhhhhhhhhhhh stuff
