Honesty and transparency were valued, new people were incorporated into the community rather than judged based on what style of writing they preferred, and despite the youthfulness and zeal of the population there prevailed a reasonable degree of common sense.

I'll throw casually out there, I have a plot currently working in the Multiverse. I don't exactly want someone else to ask to be invited, because I don't have room. In fact, majority of my plots started off as 'Hey, want to go RP?' and then it just developing from there.

I have to ask, honest question. Why bother to RP in the multiverse at all, if this is your attitude? If you arent willing to have people able to wander on in what you're doing, then RP in a controlled, forum based environment. Finding a corner to develop an insular plot with a couple of close friends defeats the idea of chat based RP entirely, to me. Just sayin'.
2. Again, no. How can you justify prejudging people based on their skill as a roleplayer and limiting their impact on the world because they're not at your level, or a baseline level you judge to be good enough? As long as someone's willing to try, willing to learn, then you let them be, surely. If someone's screwing everything up then, by natural social law, they'll either have to learn to get better or stop doing what they're doing entirely.
1. No. Not at all. That's the point of group accountability. Everyone is responsible for verifying current canon. Sure, if you want a couple of mods who look after the current affairs, maybe keep track of recent changes, then cool, it'll help people keep up to speed, but it isnt necessary.

I am currently packing eight skilled roleplayers into the plot. On active days I am dual RPing with them and don't have time for any other roleplaying. I tried to include as many people as I could, and I found that as a GM in a chat scenario this is about my max.

So, in the end, this isn't a question of adding canon to the multiverse. It's a question of what canon would you like to upkeep for users to interact with?
With this a lesser skilled player could, say, go back in time and say they were the original creator of the world, or establish that they own a city or some other convulutance. Establish a long lost lineage to an important established character. And that's fine, if its one person, but if it becomes a group of four or eight? There comes a point where enough roleplayers make it count, and then what happens to the other people in the canon? Do they just have to accept it because the player played it? It becomes a matter of how far does it go.

See, this is what I was going for with the why bother RPing in the multiverse at all bit. If you're only including eight other people, and wouldnt be happy with anyone else dropping in and trying to be included, then you may as well not RP in the multiverse at all? I'm not saying that what you're doing is a bad thing, just that from the sounds of it you could quite easily make it a private RP elsewhere and change absolutely nothing about it.
