13. Racist, sexist or homophobic remarks by staff. Player-bashing is one thing, but demographic-bashing is just so low-class it beggars outrage.

I'm surprised I forgot this, but in a long list of things I experienced at my last MUD, it fell through the cracks. I noticed that one or two of them were edited from public logs posted on their forums, but that they were said at all, posted for a minute, and edited without an apology some weeks after they were made is utterly inexcusable. There is no place in the world, much less a game, whether it's in staff chat, global channels, public player meetings or public forums on the internet, for this sort of backwards ignorance.
