I admit to not having kept great tabs on the patches that have been coming out recently for various codebases, but I haven't heard of any kind of disciplinary patches coming out. Would there be any interest in patches derived from stock code that can get the game itself to enforce rules the admins come up with?
Templates can be easily drawn up in extra source files that can be patched in quickly enough, enforcing punishment for multiplaying, spampking, spamming, or whatever other rules someone may want to enforce.
Simplistic templates (theoretically) could be written up in not too long a time, and a few of these could be used to demonstrate to even novice coders how to go about coding rules into the game. A wider enthusiasm and understanding of how to do things like this may be a good way of making MUDs work more the way their admins want them to.
