As a professional nerd/programmer, I've done something where this would be easy to do:

Upon the delete/delete, create a prompt that says, "Are you SURE you want to delete?" then have it go through an infinite loop. The player will either fall asleep or go somwhere else, by which time a reboot will remedy a situation.

Glad I could help.

That's just dumb. It would be easy to just remove the delete command. Perhaps alter the command routing to slkfdjasldkfjasldfjsal if you want to do some shitty coding. (nt) Tat 21:18:13 12/22/2000 (2)
- It's all about reverse psychology. Have a message pop every hour asking the character 'Are you sure you want to continue living? y/n' n/t Unnamed 23:45:13 12/22/2000 (0)
- I knew MUD where IMPs removed 'delete' command to keep player's base up... Laugh. (n/t) Swist 21:44:23 12/22/2000 (0)
