No. I think it has been pointed out numerous times that TMS's purpose has been to act as a traffic exchange site and nothing more. The burden of finding out whether a MUD is commercial or not lies on the customer to find it out and the MUD to make the information easy to access.
The reason the "Credits" link is subdivided into the corporate section of the menu is simple, purchasing credits is part of their corporate department and would most sensibly be displaced there. I mean that makes sense no?
Furthermore, if you are going to grumble that consumers might misunderstand the meaning of "credits", it's in the consumers best interest to click that link and find out what information is stored in there. When you sign a contract to take out a loan, it is in your best interest to read the contract thoroughly, or have someone well-versed in such matters go over it with you and explain its parts. If you just sign on the dotted line without bothering to read the contract, and along the way something happens on your loan that you didn't think would happen, well then guess what it's your fault for not checking the contract out.
The information is easy to find. You even went to the IRE website and found their credits page with ease. Each of the four IRE games had a credits link at the homepage of their website. Threshold RPG and Inferno also list themselves as Pay-Per-Play on the features section of their respective listings on this very site. No one is trying to hide anything.
And again, labeling of MUD's are not necessary because the information is out there! Harmless? I think so, but I would not know how certain MUD administrators would feel about it. But even if it is harmless it doesn't change the fact that it is needless.
