NWE Help: MOO: MOO Manners
Here is our MOOville manners policy, as it appears in MOOville when one types help manners:
MANNERS ======= MOOville is a virtual reality, but we ask that you use some real-life manners during the time you are in MOOville. Behavior that would be considered rude in `face-to-face' interaction is rude here, too. Some ways to interpret that: Be nice. Don't be rude or annoy other people. If someone requests that you stop a particular behavior or action, please respect eir wishes. Avoid interrupting other people who are working or conversing with their friends. You're welcome to explore the public places and ask for advice if you're stuck, but please try to read the online documentation and help yourself, first. In addition, please realize that many players who log in here are busy with other things, both virtually and in real life, and therefore may not always be able respond to you immediately. Harrassment of other players will not be tolerated. Emoted violence and obscenities are considered inappropriate. Please keep profane or sexually oriented language and objects out of public spaces, and do not leave them in others' spaces without their permission. All University codes of conduct which apply to 'real life' classrooms also apply in MOOville classrooms. If you are not sure if a space is public, assume that it is and act accordingly. What you do in your own MOOville spaces is your own business, as long as it does not harm another MOOville character. For more information, we suggest that you read http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~claire/texts/netiquette.html. Lisa (ldusenbe), aka Lillia, (ldusenbe@nwe.ufl.edu) is the administrator of MOOville. She will investigate any possible violations of these policies and take the appropriate action following any formal complaints. Lisa reports directly to Dr. Jack Sabin regarding the MOO. Complaints about Lisa, or appeals of her decisions, should be made to Dr. Sabin (sabin@nwe.ufl.edu). Violation of these policies can result in removal or suspension of MOO privileges and/or your NWE account.
