They would full under "Payments not rewarded in game". A title is open to debate, a different color asterisk on the who list that signifies something is open to debate, sending me a mug with your MUDs logo has no bearing on the game whatsoever.

Like most of the options MUD owners can enter, we can't verify it. You could claim your MUD is newbie friendly with no PK when in reality it makes Armageddon and Genocide look like Neopets. If someone visits your MUD based on that description you lost a potential player.

Under the "5 option" system it is starting to seem that if we add the option at all it must be that anything and everything you can get from a payment in the game, even a tag, must be available without payment or there's too many grey areas.

I can't speak to Valg's motives but even if you're right, it doesn't make the information any less useful. Has nothing to do with caving to any one side or the other.

Let's keep this in context, we're talking about a search option on an already fairly heavily populated search page, not an in your face 600 pixel "Click here for nice free muds" banner. It will be featured no more or less than other options, but for players who know what they want the option is there. As with all other options, default search will be all.
