Yeah, so we'll just assume all newbies instantly know all Lusternian rules, etc.

Thorne - hint: Run. Quickly. Find another MUD that isn't IRE - the people here tend to be a little on the clique-y side.

Personally, I think I haven't found a single mud where you're allowed to be disrespectful to the administration.
Besides, they suggest you to read HELP POLICIES right after the introductory tour. So yes, all newbies should have enough common sense / read the rules.

Thorne's cicumstances have been resolved. (Yes, we cut him some slack because he's a newbie.) I'm locking this thread as there's no more purpose to it and it's not the most appropriate place to resolve administrative matters.
