I did like one system where certain safe area (pubs) had bouncers employed
to throw out troublemakers. He is not ridiculously hard but he isn't
worth much exp and no equipment. A pker wanting to remove safe areas has
the option to do so... Just have to be determined.

I think the best method to stop OOC behaviour is code in channels
especially for OOC communications, no IC allowed (exact opposite of
current thinking). There are times when running around on my own in a mud
with a hundred other players, drives me mad. It would be handy to
communicate, even just to talk about the weather.

Believe it or not, DartMUD II/Accursed lands actually has an ooc daemon
which will spot words like 'unix' and use some strange IC method called
black blood to punish players. It also has a translator which muddles
everything you say into some awful Shakespeare dialect in the name of
maintaining an RP environment. (yet some rp by altering their speech)
