To quote Anitra:
This is really what it comes down to. If money has an impact on gameplay in the MUD, then people searching for a MUD to play should know that up front. It's as simple as that.
Of course people like myself, Valg and every other administrator from a truly free MUD have slightly selfish reasons for wanting this pointed out. We want people to play our games, and we find it completely disingenuous that games that involve cash money get away with advertising themselves as free (or not telling people there is money involved until you're already immersed, which is nearly as bad). Likewise, of course administrators like logos will fight against having it pointed out, because giving all of the information up-front to people seeking MUDS to play would be bad for their business. There's a vast difference between pointing out that you can buy things with cash once you're already in the game or captivated by their website, and pointing it out when you're looking at a list of all the muds available to play.
Oh, and Claiming that Carrion Fields counts as a "pay for perks" MUD because someone could potentially cheat AND potentially not get caught and denied by the staff is one of the most ludicrous things I've read here.
