Re: Reasons to promote/discuss your MUD on TMS.

Nope. Read the thread again, you'll find suggestions by others to do that. The "lie" comment was in response to the idea of liability if reviews are moderated.

Reputation management for a public service on the internet is a fact of life, you either do it or you don't. If players want to talk about your MUD they're going to do it on their own pages, on forums in non-review areas and in any other way they like.

This operator strongly disagrees after having our Wikipedia entry removed due to insufficient "external references" to back up facts on the page - Most other MUDs still there made it through by referencing external reviews, even bad ones. The existing reviews and articles on TMS are also some of its most highly ranked pages in search after the front page. Aardwolf had reviews off because they were unmoderated, spammed and when someone did post complete junk about the game there was no way to respond, leaving reviews out there indexed for years with uncorrected false information.

Regardless, I don't plan to remove the option, but that doesn't prevent someone from discussing a MUD in a post of their own outside of the "reviews" area.
