The statement that this is "not fair" gets right to the root of the problem. The MUDs that have a pay-for-perks model want a marketing advantage over other MUDs. So they want the search options kept the same to make them look best at the expense of other games.

It really is that simple. From the beginning, this entire issue has been a handful of admins wanting TMS to remain the same to benefit them specifically. They wanted to choose their own label for other games, while maintaining the freedom to describe their own games however they saw fit. One of those admins (a Mr Threshold) even slipped up and admitted it in THIS VERY THREAD. And that is precisely why the change SHOULD be made despite what these admins are requesting.
