spammy extra descriptions

I can understand the argument here about spamming descriptions being used to make people go link dead and stuff like that, but with the current immortal policy to stay out of things as much as possible, isn't this just a bit of overkill? If people want to have long extra descriptions and spam the mud with them then why can't they? Lots of the more spammy ones are usually ANSI pictures. Are those people going to be made to change their pictures? People can have tattoos on their body. What about people who put entire song lyrics in? Doesn't that represent them somehow? I think this policy, while I understand the desired goal, is an overstepping of immortal bounds and should be something that's left to the player's reasoning.

PS- If it crashes the mud, that's a different story.

Nice ansi pictures are okay. No problem with those. However, having the same line repeated 3124 times is not what I would consider productive.

What about some people who use color in their desc and lets it bleed? Is that okay?

Currently, all I'm concerned with are descriptions that cause the mud to hang or crash.
