When I log into a MUD, I'll usually log right back out if:

1. I see WAY too many colors. The point of color is to highly important items and to enhance an experience, not to cause someone to go into eptileptic shock.

2. I see WAY too much spam. If I can't enter a MUD without having to press the ENTER key 15 times, or I can't keep up with what's going on (Bobo and Jubjub keep 'goto'ing or recalling into my room, walking three spaces west, and recalling again, or that damn NPC feels the need to cast healing spells every 2 seconds), there's no point in sticking around. I'll get PK'd and won't realize it for the next 10 minutes.

3. I see that the channels are filled with bigotry and cursing. I don't want to be a real pansy or anything, but if you can't keep your channels under control to a certain acceptable level, you can't keep your MUD under control.

But the biggest reason that will drive me off a MUD, is when the staffing is terrible. I can make do with a small playerbase (its often homely), and bugs, and poor uptime. However, I will not tolerate when the immortals show their asses, make god-characters, or show favoritism that puts other MUDders to a disadvantage.
