TOADING

Mr.Bungle was toaded from the LambdaMOO for his heinous acts of cyber misconduct and rape that occurred in the LamdaMoo using his subprogram " AVoodoo Doll" which manipulated and violated various participants in the MOO that night.

In "Virtual(ly) Law:  the Emergence of Law in LambdaMOO" by Jenninfer Mnookin, she defines "toading" as:

"Toading--They may ban either party from the MOO for a period of time, or order    a character to engage in community service.They may even order the most extreme of punishments: "toading," LambdaMOO's name for the virtual death penalty. Indeed, there are only two significant limits on the power of arbitrators: (1) they may only take action with respect to the two parties; they may neither propose a punishment that would infringe the rights of other players, nor call for a new law as the result of the arbitration ; and (2) their proposed actions must take place within LambdaMOO itself; the punishment cannot require any real-life activity.
