I agree with you there. A paraghraph rp poster's posts should only need to contain as much information needed for the other person to visualize and know what is happening, and not thirty different ways or extremely detailed to describe one taking their hat off. I've actually seen someone do that before, they've posted six paragraphs describing them getting ready to sit down and take their hat off. They ended up describing the entire description of the hat, including the simple leather material, and the ink coloring the hat, and plus even the simple wood making of the table and chair in the tavern. Needless to say, the person that was wanting to rp with them at that table got bored and left the room after the last post when they took another two paragraphs describing them sitting down.
An rp paragraph should only contain as much information needed to give an idea of what's going on, and giving more detail when needed, like spells or unique manuevers, not giving colorful explainations form simple things such as walking.
