This is a sample file that you might want to use as a template for
the 'news policies' file on your MUCK.


1) The following privileges are only to be revoked on permission of the #1
wizard, even by other wizards. The player has the privilege to give up any of
these, in relation to him/herself.

(2) Players have the privilege of private communication channels to other
players that will not be overheard by anyone, on penalty of removal from the
MU*.

(3) Players here have the privilege of avoiding other specific players
by choice. When requested, any player must cease communication with the
requestor, and not follow him/her. This prevents harrassment while
allowing In-Character roleplaying jerks.

(4) A player's name, home (physical and internet), gender, age, and any
other specific RL data belong to him/her and may only be discovered through
standard means of communication. Any use of DB tools (e.g.  programs) to
discover this (by a player) or broadcast it to a player (by a wizard) is
forbidden on this MU*

(5) a player here has the privilege of safe zones. ANY communication in
these explicitly designated areas should be treated as 'private'...
similar to #2.

(6) A player has the privilege of unrestricted communication with any other
consenting party, as modified by punitive or Role Playing constraints.

(7) These are voluntary _privileges_ of this mu*, allowing you to make
an informed decision about whether you want to spend your time here.
intentional violation will be dealt with most harshly.
