Reporting

Reporting is a way to make ideas you have or errors
you find in the game known to the wizards so they can
investigate them and act as necessary. To report, you use
one of 4 commands made especially for that purpose,
depending on the nature of your report. The commands will
place you in an editor where you can type your report. To
end your report and exit the editor type a point . in the
beginning of an empty line.

Whenever you send us a report, your name, location
and the time will AUTOMATICALLY be included for us to
see. Also, when you send the report, it will be echoed onto
the screen of every wizard in the game. So don't ask
immediately afterwards "Did you see my report?". We did.
The administrators read ALL reports.

The idea with reporting things this way is that
wizards can read and act when they have the time. Wizards,
especially arches and higher, are often very busy. Just
because you say something on a channel, it doesn't mean that
they see it. Especially bugs should ALWAYS be reported with
the appropriate commands unless you are specifically
told by a wizard not to do so.

The 3 different commands for reporting are:

'bug'

Use this to report anything that is an actual error in
the game. You might get an error message from doing
something, or something might not work they way it should,
or something else. Bugs come in many different guises. You
are OBLIGED to use this command to report any error you
find, and failure to do so can lead to punishment if the bug
is big or abuseable. If you don't know whether something is
a bug or not, and there is no wizard who can tell you,
report it anyway. We rather have reports about things that
aren't bugs than no reports about things that are.

NOTE: if your report concerns a specific object in the room
where you are, you can type 'bug create <object>', eg 'bug create orc' to
start the report. This will include the filename of that
object into your report, making it easier for us to find.

'typo'

This is for reports about misspelling or bad grammar
anywhere in the mud (usually room descriptions).

'praise'

For praising an immortal (or all) for some feature you find
especially delightful. Don't hesitate to use it if you think
something is well done; praise from mortals can cheer up the
grumpy old wizards' days considerably.

Remember: do not hesitate to report something if you
think it should be reported. Especially bugs, which you are
obliged to report. If you think something is wrong, don't
just talk about it on a channel or to your friends, report
it so that the wizards see. This also goes if you think the
game in unbalanced in any way or aspect.
