NWE Help: MOO: MOO Manners

NWE Home :: Help :: MOO

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
