I have a hard time pinpointing it down into a bullet point list, but I would say being IC is important. My favorite people to play against all have/had such a good grasp of their character's personality it, idk, shone in every tag even if it's an incidental action or I'm canonblind. Also being good at keeping track and being aware of what emotions the character was going through, so no repeating a question to something answered earlier in the thread. It's such a mixed feeling to receive a long, elaborately written tag that makes the character come off as a redundant robot because the player forgot what was going on last week.
Not giving unreactable/hookless tags is a given but personally I give more of a pass if the thread is preplanned.
Also agreeing with the last item on above anon's list. Just a little comment about a thread being fun every so often goes a long way.
