Well, my experience has been with MUCKs, where such a thing is accepted as a matter of 
course.  Our privacy statement in our policy states clearly that everything is logged, and the 
server is as secure as a professional can make it.  Frankly, when a complaint of harassment 
comes along, it is alot easier to just dig out the logs, extract the relevant sections, and find out 
what really *did* happen.  In 6 years of admin-ing a MUCK, I saw this happen several times.  

Thanks for the input.
