Century peloton etiquette

I have ridden in many different century rides over the years. Many times I've arrived at the events solo and usually I've found a peloton to tuck in with. I'm careful to who I hook up with, keeping an eye out for sketchy riders and whatnot.

When my turn comes up to take a pull, I do my pull and then back off. There of course some people who just suck a wheel and never take a pull.

That said, I'm curious what the consensus is (if any) when it comes to joining up with a peloton at a century ride? All of the century rides I've done are for fun. They aren't races/timed events. That of course doesn't mean I don't like to ride with a fast group.

Thank you.
