What prevents an admin from breaking their own rules?
nothing. In one sense, a mud is like someone else’s swimming pool. You have absolutely no right to swim there, and they have the right to throw you out just because you talk funny or say things they don’t like. Fortunately, there are plenty of muds out there with civil administrations to make this nothing more than a passing nuisance. A common misconception is that mud admins administrate muds for power, and that arbitrary behaviour is a way of exercising that power. Though there may be a few misguided individuals out there who do in fact administrate muds for the sake of power, the fact is that no mud administrator has any power over you. Remember, the worst thing any admin can do to you is make you go play somewhere else. A final thing to remember is that muds evolve and rules evolve with the mud. Just because rules change does not mean the admins are being arbitrary. Arbitrariness is reflected in sometimes applying rules and sometimes ignoring them, not in creating new rules to fit
