Question

Recently I have been banned from an online mud, through what I consider unjust process. I have spent about 9 years building a character on the mud, is there some legal recourse I might have with the administrators of the site? Could my efforts there be considered intellectual property?

Answer

These sites are privately run and the members must abide by the rules of the site. On every site I have been to, the site owners/operators reserve the rights to terminate or ban members and they reserve the rights to any character you create on their site. Therefore, you do not have any rights to get back onto the site after being banned.
