Pestering the Wizards

Harassment of wizards is less common, simply because the 'victim' of
such harassment can handle the problem much more easily.  Pestering
is defined as: 
1. Asking the same question repeatedly, when the answer has already
   been given.
2. Attempts to kill the wizard repeatedly.
3. Spamming (dumping large amounts of text).
4. Other abuses of commands such as - ???
5. Annoying a wizard
You should _NEVER_ annoy a Archwizard, it can ONLY cause you a lot of nasty 
things happening. The most usual is you are zapped, banished, frozen or
punished by someother way that the Archwizard feels right.

----------
Player Disagreements

Player disagreements, such as killing, stealing money/items, hounding a
person, stealing a kill, repeated telling, etc, will be handled by other
players. If there is someone mass murdering other players, he will most
likely be rm'd or banned by admins.

----------
Abuse of Wizard Powers

Common abuse of powers follow:
  Desting players/other wizards
  Inflicting 'curses' upon players/wizards
  Setting up snooping devices
  Making prisons
  Zapping other players/wizards.
  Using certain commands to 'fool' other players/wizards into thinking
    something is happening that is not (echo, echoall, etc)

Such abuse of power shall not be tolerated unless explicitly permitted. 
(For example, there may be times that we ask our wizards to become actively
involved in changing the play of the game to be more "interesting" for the
players) It is not the job of the ordinary wizard to become involved with
the administration of "justice" on a mud, and this can create additional
problems when a wizard attempts to do so.  A good example, is a wizard who
builds a prison intended to be used only on "wrongdoers"...  this is the
role of the administration, not of the ordinary wizard. If a wizard zaps you
without your permission and you havent done anything 'stupid', You should
tell about it to archwizards, most likely, if there was no reason for the
zap, the zapper will be removed/dewizzed or his zap command disabled. It is
in the general interest of the adminstrators of the game, the archwizards,
to keep the normal wizards in discipline.
