1) The point of this
router being up is not free speech.
2) This router is up for the
following purposes:
* To provide technical help for LP muds.
* To provide a friendly space for chat between muds.
* To test and improve mud communication systems,
such as intermud mail.
3) The router is not up for
testing security of an I3 router. Attempting
to exploit the router is not ok, and not "cool". If
you find
a security weakness please email me so I can handle it
discreetly.
You will get full credit for the discovery when the patch
comes out.
4) The following channels are
reserved for the topics described below:
ds
Dead Souls mud code talk
ds_test
testing testing 1, 2, 3, etc
intergossip
general offtopic stuff
lpuni
LPUniversity discussion
intercre
general technical chatter
5) The following are not
tolerated on those channels: hate speech, social engineering
hacks, unwarranted hostility to newbies, spamming,
commercial advertising. All of
these will be judged by my subjective opinion of what
constitutes a violation.
Types of violations can be added to this list without
warning by me.
6) You may create up to 8
intermud channels for your mud. These channels can
have any content you want that is permissible by all
applicable laws. I
don't want to control the intermud with an iron hand. I
just want those five
channels listed above to be a safe place for newbies to
congregate, socialize,
and/or get work done.
7) If you don't like these
rules, set up your own router. Or go play on the
gjs router, if ever it comes back up.
8) I will not help or support
you in any way in setting up a router, or
in creating a channel for your mud. These undocumented
procedures require
expertise to accomplish that you have to earn on your own
by reading
the code on your mud and the i3 specs ( intermud.org ).
9) I will not ban a mud just
because of your tattle tales. I expect you
to handle your own personal problems. If someone bugs you,
use the earmuff
command. Earmuff the person, or earmuff the mud, or just
stay off the
channel in question. The chances I'll step into something
like this
are slight, so don't look to me to solve your online
disputes. I'm
your Dutch uncle, not your coddling mommy.
Note: I'm not normally this
harsh or fascistic. I just want to make things clear
right from the start, because I refuse to get into who was
mean to whom on what channel. It's a waste of everyone's time. If you
break
the rules, I will probably ask you politely to stop, or I may just
ban you. Please be reasonable and play nice, or don't come into my
house.
