I'm particularly fond of the solution I've seen only once (and on a game
that never took off due to problems with the computer). It had only one
fixed rule: Do not harass other players. And a couple of examples (!) of
what was considered harassment. They had only one rule for dealing with
conflicts. When there was a complaint all sides involved were transed to
a courtroom. There the players got a last chance to settle their diffe-
rences. Only one of the arguing parties would return to the game and the
other character was deleted. It was a harsh way of dealing with problems
but it tended to keep troublemakers AND whiners under control. <gr>
Of course in reality they never dealt with things quite so harsh as they
promised but it definitely was a way to prevent a lot of trouble.
