&gt; &gt; A squelch command?  A player could squelch another, so that any text
&gt; &gt; produced by the 
&gt; &gt; irritant would not be received by the squelcher.  Also, the squelchie
&gt; &gt; could not perform any 
&gt; &gt; acts on the squelcher.  One of the drawbacks probably would be that it
&gt; &gt; certainly would 
&gt; &gt; make dieing from PK's obsolete.  Although, with friendly PK, or duels,
&gt; &gt; this might be viewed 
&gt; &gt; as chickening out.  Thus the standing player wins by forfeit.
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; What about indirect means, though? Here's something to consider... say
&gt; Bubba who is now squelched wanders around telling everyone in the mud
&gt; that Buffy is a &lt;insert derogatory term of choice&gt;. Word gets back to
&gt; Buffy. Is this something Buffy should be upset about? Is it something
&gt; Buffy should have recourse for?Is it something an admin needs to step in
&gt; for, or is the proper answer to have everyone in the game squelch Bubba
&gt; too?

Nod.  The availability of @gag did not prevent the Mr. Bungle 
incident.  Nor would @gag or "squelch" affect third party observation 
of such activity.
