However, KaVir, isn't he now giving an explicit request to remove said code? Also, couldn't it be argued that by letting them use this, and assuming the MUD is full of a corrupt staff, by giving him credit they are "harming" his name, so to speak?

Legally, doesn't anything explicit normally override anything implicit?

While I agree with the implied license, I tend to disagree on this point many people restate.

You aren't accepting a "job" as some people have likened it to. And this is a slippery slope argument - Don't use it unless you want to pay all staff members A) A salary and work under contract, or B) At least minimum wage.

That's NOT unreasonable. If the MUD wants exclusive control of the areas/exclusive license/the copyright/whatever, then that is actually required by law.

On a sidenote, I also agree with Amnon on the subject of admins knowing what they are doing. It would -definitely- decrease the amount of twink staffs.
