[Compliments Ala Matthew]
> at all, is irritating my major customers enough that they complain, there
Ask your major customers if they'd rather have to complain to you or
be given the power to handle it themselves. And I guarantee they'd rather
be able to filter that person rather than have them kicked/banned. To them
that person will be kicked/banned because they can't hear them and don't
have to worry about that person.
Granted I don't run a pay MUD, and I never have. I've contributed to
many open source developments and will continue to do so while at the same
time developing my own open source codebase. I think one of the other
spectators of this list hit a good point. Make annoying players want to be
on your MUD and make them want to pay for airtime on public channels.
Have an almost TV type atmosphere. I'm sure a couple of the people you
banned would love to have a Jerry Springer channel, an I"m sure you'd make
loads on the TVs you'd sell in the MUD.
Honestly, don't use the few people who pay to play your MUD as an excuse
without asking them what they would prefer. I'd certainly pay to play your
MUD, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to have to ask you to ban someone. I'm
in your MUD living the life thereof, I don't even want to talk to you about
administration. To me thats like having a world with one hitman. And by me
being a paying customer and someone else being rude, I'm allowed to get you
shot. No, wrong, give me the power to filter this person. Keep them off my
owned premises in the MUD, block out their voice if need be, or even not see
their messages on a forum. I'd rather have the power myself then leave it in
the "All Mighty's" hands. And I'm sure some of your paying customers feel the
same way. People don't pay to be babies on a MUD.
