Re: How to Prevent IC info being shared OOC'ly

Players who chat to other players that tell them sensitive IC information could just log the conversation and email it to the staff. That's what happened on the MUD I played. One player who was very popular suffered severe penalties because she got caught out this way. I think that acts as a deterrant too, as unless you chat to someone you really trust not to tell the staff what you're doing, you won't do it.

Smoking, political views and race have nothing to do with roleplay. Besides which, if those rules were implemented I don't think many people would be playing such a game, whereas rules that would prevent their roleplay being messed with might be viewed favourably on a game where plots are frequently ruined by out of game chatter.
