Here's a question that came to mind recently due to some incidents, including a player from another MUD deciding to pose as one of our players and post "suggestions" that the board readers try his/her MUD instead.

What do you do about people who are enthusiastic about your game, but act in a way that detracts from its image, such as spamming other sites?   I can remember one incident in our past where a player set up multiple lab machines to "vote" for the MUD (not on TopMUDSites, but an earlier version) without telling us, which resulted in our game getting removed entirely from voting.

Part of our staff contract is an agreement that:

Do we have the right to ask the same of players?  Has anyone put such a policy in place, and if so, what were the results?  Or is having to cope with this sort of thing simply the price of popularity, and there's nothing that can be done about it?
