1. Multiplaying, which is defined as a single person opening more than one connection to the MUD at a time, is NOT permitted. Furthermore, you may not use any of your characters to benefit your other characters, such as transferring EQ/MEQ, etc. WHILE multiplaying. MEQ transfers through 3rd parties are acceptable, but the 3rd party has every prerogative to screw you over, so it's still risky.

2. Bug Abuse is not tolerated. If you find a bug, report it to a staff member or an administrator immediately (use mudmail if not online). Type wizlist for admin names.

3. No Triggers, Scripts or Bots allowed, *except* a log-in trigger. You can not use anything that will give your character an automated response.

4. No Bigotry, including but not limited to: Racism, Sexism, Sexual Innuendo and Religious/Ethnic slurs.

5. Harassment in ANY form will not be tolerated. If you feel you are being harassed, create a log of it to present to the staff. If no staff are present, e-mail/mudmail the administration.

6. Do not give out your password to anyone. Character sharing is NOT allowed. If you have an issue with your character being 'hacked' or 'stolen', contact an administrator.

7. RESPECT THE STAFF. No brown-nosing/kissing-up, asking for special favors, or showing disrespect. The staff of AvP are a volunteer force that work here for their love of building and running a MUD. They do not demand your respect, but do demand a lack of disrespect.

8. Evading a punishment will result in a further, perhaps more harsh, punishment being handed out at the discretion of the staff. This includes abusing loopholes that have not been fixed.

9. Spamming public channels or rooms in any form is completely unacceptable, unless in a context where it is permitted by a staff member. As well, all rules on help chat must be abided by.

This policy is the law of AvP, and will be strictly enforced. Punishments can range from verbal warnings to full-out bans. In most cases, punishments are left to the discretion of the staff member handling each case. You are playing AvP as a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time, for *any* reason.
