Yes, I understand what you mean but a skilled RPer can put aside knowledge that they (the player) learns OOC and use only information their character should know.<br/><br/>As a general note I always require all players to read all posts in my group games. The benefits of consistency and continuity and imparting 'canon' information far outweigh the risks of metagaming and if the latter does happen, its quickly corrected with an OOC discussion and an edit.<br/><br/>Besides, for me, one of the main reasons I play in group games is so that I can read the posts of other writers and enjoy their skills and styles. It seems crazy not to when you have such a great opportunity to discover potential new RPing partners who you can then contact privately and perhaps set up a 1-on-1 game.
