IMMLOCK

The immlock command is the god's most powerful defense against rude and annoying users. With it, a god can prevent people from a certain site from even connecting to the mud. In addition, gods can also prevent people from a site from creating new characters, thus only letting the "good" users from that site connect and play. Following is a list of the various forms of syntax for the command.

This will provide a listing of all the sites which are currently being banned.

This will prevent all mortals from being able to connect. This is very useful for cases when you are debugging the mud or for some reason or another the mud is not ready to be played by players. All gods will still be able to connect however.

This is used to ban and/or restrict individual sites. Banishing totally prevents anyone from that site from connecting. Restricting simply prevents them from applying for new characters. This is useful for cases where there are some good users from a site and some jerks and you would like to keep the good users but not the jerks. Simply delete all the jerks and restrict the site.

The partial keyword is used specify a whole category of sites. Example:

immlock ban verdun.edu partial

This will ban ANYTHING with the phrase "verdun.edu" in it, like "troll.verdun.edu", "verdun.edu", and "forth.verdun.edu". If partial was not specified, only "verdun.edu" would have been banned.
