The original post was pretty clear. OP was displeased with one or more muds he tried that had an application-based creation process, required permission to delete and recreate, and had a cumbersome and tedious in-game process (ass-kissing and report writing) to gain a character class and advance, all so he could finally jump into the active part of a game that was primarily about grinding for money and grinding to gain levels.

Not one of his factors said he wants more fair or more responsive administration, or a game where his own ideas would be implemented. If anything, it sounds like the games he was involved with have a little too much administration. I've always felt that if you add up all the time mud administrators waste approving players and sparingly granting permission to do this or that, you'd find enough time to code all kinds of new features, make all kinds of new areas, or initiate all kinds of special roleplaying has been wasted.
