While discussing the reviews, Matt made some good points about website liability for user generated content. That thread is here:

I did a quick search on "User generated content liability" and found this article:

Outside of reviews, it occurred to me that this can all equally apply to the user generated "content" on our MUDs - we "moderate" the MUDs by removing channel access and/or access to the game completely when we have repeat trouble makers in the games.

Has anyone ever had any legal issues along these lines? I've never heard of it within a MUD, but it's very possible based on that article.
