Seriously?

The only thing worth discussing is how a mud admin could avoid this situation.

How many posts are worth reading if it was just a bunch of people saying "Yeah, that guy was a dick."

Giving superuser shell access to someone you don't know is dangerous as hell and extremely irresponsible. I am glad your mud was not destroyed by the mistake and thus you'll be able to live and learn.

For the purpose of discussion on a public forum, the only part still interesting is to discuss how people should go about vetting staff so they can avoid this type of situation.
