• MOO security:
  Players might be able to penetrate the MOO's security system accessing data and operations they do not normally have permissions to read and manipulate, such as other players' mail and email addresses. Even though email addresses are openly accessible at some MOOs, this does not hold true for all MOOs.

  There are also various ways for an experienced MOOer to lag the MOO, or even force the MOO to shut down for a short period of time.

• Player security:
  Individual players' security might be in danger due to harrassment or other problematic things done by other players, such as spam, moving objects around or unwanted visits.
  Sprawl's help defense is an example of what can be done for self protection on Sprawl as well as other MOOs. Even though some of these commands are common on most MOOs, remember, each MOO is different.
  Make sure to point your students and other MOObies to help privacy if you are on a LambdaCore based MOO.
