Re: MUD Players' Bill of Rights

4.5 Players should be able to expect that disrespect and discourtesy to a game’s staff will be met with equal disrespect and discourtesy.

Now I'm not saying, sink to their level and be a chump. Simply put, it's a two-way street on respect and courtesy. I've ran a game for a long time now and seen good and bad players and imms. I think the big thing that does bug me is when players feel they're entitled to something just 'because'. Now I don't mean that they shouldn't have a fair and honest world/staff etc, that's a given. But when they feel that they should say jump, and the staff should answer... 'how high?' Then I have a problem with that player, it shows a lack of respect or courtesy on their part.

The people that run games, or help run the games, do so (at least in my game) for no money, often little to no thanks, simply because they enjoy the genre and the game itself.

But yes, an additional one could be.
# The right to play elsewhere if the game, it's players or it's staff, do not meet my approval.
(Of course... every game has this right, you simply don't reconnect.)
