Now could you point the part where he says it's legal to handle corpses with
trigs, since the loot stealing is easily done without trigs, and if person is
idle when doing that, well that has been illegal for long.

Well technically he said he probably was not going to enforce it that way, and
he wouldn't spend 16 hour a day looking for violators... and he assumd other
wizards wouldn't either.

Bottom line is that according to the help file, a corpse trigger is illegal.
It is kind of like those "ancient laws" you hear that some local towns have,
stuff like "You cannot take a bath on saturdays" etc... well this is sort of
like that I guess... it is a rule, and you could be cited for breaking it, but
the people who do the citations are not currently looking out for that.

So like if we didn't like you we could always find that you broke that rule
and then enforce it on you... but really an arch can punish you just because
he doesn't like you so he doesn't need to get on technical


Hmm I had a point I think, but I am not sure... oh yeah, I've always thought
the help robot text was not enforced for the way it was written, but hey
that's life I guess. Maybe it is like stock fraud, we want it to be a grey
area as to what is legal and what isn't

Really though, help robot reminds me of what socrates said back in the day:
"What you cannot enforce, do not command"
