You are running a MUSH with 12 people on it.
You need to treat it that way.
I'm running a website where grown-ass adults play a game after agreeing to abide by a certain set of rules.
Exactly how do you think I should be treating it?
I'm not their therapist, parent, or legal guardian. I'm not their attorney or their spouse.
I'm the gamerunner. The website admin. And the DM of the game.
Anything else you all want to take on above and beyond that is just that -- above and beyond. But let's be real about the baseline if we're going to talk about setting reasonable boundaries, because that, to me, is not being reasonable.

I actually think you're purposefully missing all the points here which makes this not a very constructive thread.
I mean, I could say the same for you. You would go above and beyond the job description. Cool.
I'm going to stick to the job description and give you the tools to help yourself. You the battered spouse or whatever are perfectly capable of standing in the public restaurant and calling the police and waiting until they arrive to deal with the problem. You don't need anyone else to do that for you, and it's not reasonable to put the burden of your interpersonal issues on a complete stranger and expect that they're going to take up arms in your favor.
