Change your bike in your garage people before you join a group ride. Do you not know how much roadies hate it when you show up to a group ride on a TT bike?
And while you are at it.. no ankle socks and match the bike to your kit.
How about giving me a Ride On when passing me? I mean this is the equivalent to waving on the road. So inconsiderate!!!
When someone annoyed me (by like being faster than me or something) I'd park right behind them and jam on the "HAMMERTIME!" key over and over and over.
I realized this wasn't healthy, and had to quit Zwift.

You actually kept the sound on? I find all the game noises annoying, so they're muted and instead, Pantera or something is blaring. To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Rule 9 is the only one that matters. I'm not sure how popular riding outside is in the States now though, even when it's dry? My perception form this Forum is that an awful lot of people don't ride outside much, I guess this is State dependent. 29 years and counting
I think youāre being sarcastic but I go with thereās zero etiquette to anything video game related. Everything is fair game and nothing is bush league.
My personal favorites. Playing the UFC video games online. Guys would actually touch gloves at the start of the match like it was real life UFC. As soon as Iād see the guy raise his hand up and walk towards me, Iād either Superman Punch him in the face or kick him in the head. Good times.
Battlefield 1942. Everyone in the game decided to have a detente, gather near a church somewhere on the map, and take a 64 player group photo (screenshot). I hopped in a B17 bomber, took off for the church, waited until everyone was there, and dropped bombs on the church. Friendly fire was off so I killed all 32 members of the other team. š
Iāve never played World of Warcraft but this was arguably the single greatest moment in video game history. āAn avid World of Warcraft player died of a stroke in real life, and her online friends decided to honor her with an in-game funeral. A time was set, a location was agreed upon, and the woman's friends met up to say their farewells.
Then, because the Internet is the Internet, things went off the rails.
Hearing about a Horde-faction funeral, Alliance guild Serenity Now decided to crash the event and slaughter all the attendees, most of whom weren't even wearing armor. It's still a controversial event in Internet spaces, with some arguing that Serenity Now never broke "the rules" while others argue that said actions fell outside the realm of human decency.ā
Start at 6 w/kg and make everyone destroy themselves trying to keep up then exit the group ride once you crack.

There is always the baller on hard group rides using a TT bike. Of course they don't get a draft benefit, so its really just saying, hey look at me, I am way faster than you, especially when they ride off the front of a group doing 4 w/kg. I think its funny, and I am sure there are some guilty culprits here.
I think Zwift should create an Anything Goes race and have some buttons to stick poles in front tire, push into the grass, and other creative ways to slow somebody down. You don't want to be crashed or hit? Don't get passed or learn to brake hard and get back on the pedal after being passed. http://www.sfuelsgolonger.com

I think this is the best explanation you can get! No further posts necessary.

Turned up on a group ride with a gravel bike, only to find someone on a mountain bike. Didn't ride of the front they had the fence down.
I would fence any group ride without the intent of competitive behaviors.
Even then, you can turn the fence off to allow sprint and KOM challenges.
I'm in a big Zwift team that does a chill 2w/kg cruise weekly but turns the fence off for each sprint segment. Line up your leadout train, sprint, cool off. Fence back on as soon as the main group reaches the sprint finish line.
In Zwift, I feel like the TT bike in a group is a way you could get in a bigger workout without challenging a fence. Not possible in real life. IDGAF what people say, unless you're on my road race team I'm not riding with you mixed TT bikes and roadies. No way.
Other etiquette could be if you're a strong rider in it for Z1/Z2 or social to play sweep and get people back on the group.
A 7 year old gimmick website that wasn't funny then? Constanza (aka do the opposite) everything from that drivel. I race road for a long time, don't know anyone good that cared about "the rules".
This was total sarcasm as a post but I raced road seriously for quite awhile and sometimes drop into a race still and find it amazing how many people DO take the rules seriously.. and that attitude drove me back to tris. but I will say a TT bike on a group ride(in the real world) should be a definite. dangerous enough without a bike that cant be maneuvered well.
