Do not restrict this environment - you will retard the rate of
experimentation and innovation.  If you want order, move to an
RL place with strict zoning!

Perhaps I'm too new here to see that there is a problem, but if there is
one, I sure don't see it.  Is it a problem that some people's conception
of the VR is violated by other's?

Well, to some extent, LambdaMOO has strict zoning, at least in theory.
LambdaMOO _has_ a theme, and all 'official' building is supposed to
fit into that theme.  As yduJ's mail made clear, though, not all building
fits that theme.  The issue here seems to be that people think that
they have some kind of right to have access to LambdaMOO, and some kind
of right to build whatever they want to build.  Which seems a bit odd
to me.

A more relevant problem is that there are heaps and heaps of unfinished,
irrelevant junk lying around.  I mean, really.  The db is >40 MB now.
Over 40 million bytes of stuff, much of which is trash of one kind or
another (tiny-scenery, clones of generic objects, etc).

Not sure what my point is.  Maybe just that there _is_ a reason to want
to restrict building.
