+abuser
+
+  The admins maintain a private list of individuals who have abused the chess
+server.  There are various kinds of abuse that can result in someone being
+placed on the abuser list (... or worse).
+
+  Sometimes there is an individual who intentionally disconnects in lost
+positions, thus ruining the spirit of competition.  If you suspect that
+someone disconnected intentionally, please contact an admin.  The admin will
+review the situation.  If you are unable to connect with your opponent in
+order to resume your game, you may also want to seek an adjudication.
+
+  If a user has too many stored games, the user may also be placed on the
+abuser list until more of the adjourned games are completed or adjudicated.
+
+CONSEQUENCES
+
+  Being on the abuser list has these consequences: (a) abusers may have match
+requests automatically declined if the opponent has "!abuser" in the formula,
+and (b) abusers who disconnect while playing a game forfeit the game
+automatically.
+
+  Other kinds of poor conduct can result in different sanctions.  See the
+"etiquette" and "shout_abuse" help files for details.
