DartMud is a Permadeath mud with unrestricted PK. There are no mud-wide channels. You cannot "Tell" anyone outside the same room, it turns into a whisper that can be overheard if in the same room.

Most exchanges of OOC information generally involve:

I think it is impossible to force people not to use ooc means of communication. How can you prevent it? Rewards are impossible, for how can you reward someone for not doing something? Punishments usually only work on people who have been punished before.

I guess the only way to prevent cheating is to parade caught cheaters around in chains, publicaly humiliate them, and let people know this is what will happen if they cheat. Let the peasants cower in fear, so they will never even consider cheating.
