TMI Standard Rights/Rules ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This document is intended to explain what rights or priviledges you have on this MUD. In many ways, MUDs are both games and virtual communities. While some of your interactions here may seem to be very much a part of your life, be aware that you are in fact treading on someone else's property. However, you do have some rights and terms to be aware of during your visit here. There are various issues which deserve clarification as regards the way we handle them, and it's important for you to understand what duties the administration here is responsible for. Because of the length of some of the explanations, we have split the general help files up into seperate files, so as to make it easier for you to find the topic you wish to read about. See the index below. help harassment - This explains sexual harassment, harassing wizards, player disagreements, and abuse of wizard powers. It also tells you how these problems will be solved. help privacy - This explains privacy on a MUD (it does not truly exist) for Wizards and Players. It also explains what could happen to the Wizard taking advantage of his power to snoop. help ownership - This explains code ownership. It also explains what 'code privacy' is. help conduct - This is pretty basic, explains to you that 'treat your neighbour as you'd want to be treated' is a good policy. help rules.specific - This explains the rules that are *specific* to TMI-2. All rules in these files are all intended for TMI-2, but this file states the rules and rights that are specifically for TMI-2.
