If you're a PK MUD, then it's a bit hard for you to track down harassment reports (unless you're a pure PK MUD where anything goes). I've seen enough confusion between Atreus and Atreaus on the MUD I code on, and that leads me to believe that having the same name would be quite open to abuse. The idea is an interesting one, but might perhaps be acheived via some sort of introduction/greeting/appearance code. --StormeRider StormeRider --- http://www.windsofstorm.net/OpenICQ/ linux@ici.net --- Slackware 2.0.34 ICQ UIN: 2810688 The work I do on this project, any image creating while not at work, any web designing done for Winds of Storm Web Design, and any work done on any GPL'd project are not the property of my employer Winstar iCi and I retain the sole rights to the source unless it is stated publicly as an open source forum. +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
