First, if it's a private world, that means I can impose any rules I want above and beyond the airline mogul rules, just like private, restricted membership alliances impose rules above and beyond the rules already set forth in AM, and just like any
private organization can impose rules above and beyond the law to its members. Secondly, joining a private world is not a right. It's a privilege. Privileges can be revoked at the world creator's discretion. Not only that if you entered my private world illegitimately, or are using means that are illegitimate under the rules set forth in my world, I have the right to expel you and I SHOULD expel you, with or without notice. However, in the interest of fairness I plan to give notice before expulsion and give you a choice to either comply with the rules or face expulsion.
Joining a
public world is a right for anyone who has an airline mogul account and has the requisite tokens to join; joining a
private world, however, is not. Private worlds are exclusionary by nature. World creators, by nature of the fact that their world is
private, and as long as they have made reasonable precautions that their world is private and any uninvited users will be expelled/banned, should have the right to control the membership of their private world. They also have the right to set forth any restrictions they see fit above and beyond what is legal in AM, just like anything else that is private has the right to do so, no matter how arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable. What is legal in a public world doesn't necessarily have to be legal in a private world. If you suspect abuse of discretion, investigate.
It's like university; we have to choose to admit you, and if you don't follow the rules, we will expel you.
Yes, I understand that the backlash may be directed towards the membership officers, but people need to understand that they have no god-given right to enter a private world without an invitation. If you want a god-given right, then join a public world.
First, it's legal; and second, you could too easily boot anyone for any reason (i.e., player is at the same base at your's and you don't want any competition).
In a public world, it's legal. In a
private world, created by me, it's illegal if I say so. Secondly, by the nature of the fact that I have created a private world, I have the RIGHT to throw people out or deny people entry for any reason, in good or bad faith, or no reason at all. However in the interest of fairness, my rules and all its amendments will be clearly spelled out and I will give notice if there are any violations before I expel. The purpose of creating a private game is to exclude anyone we don't like from playing. Having the right to expel someone is the only way we can exclude people we don't like from playing with us.
And yes, absolutely, if you created a private world, you would have the right to expel people or deny them entry or reentry for any reason, in good or bad faith, or no reason at all.
