It depends on when you're talking about. I was CSR during the classic era and EQ initially did not have any real rules or PNP when it launched...mainly because they just didn't predict the negative things people would do to others in game. Further, some mechanics that then required rules also weren't anticipated at all such as players forming camps and pulling to them.
Eventually the PNP was put in place and then further amended and modified over time. After that time, if Sergeant Slate was intentionally trained to the tunnel you'd be issued a warning; three warnings usually equaled a permanent ban of your account (sometimes there would be a temporary suspension after warnings 1 or 2 depending on the infraction).
That being said, we weren't as well equipped to respond to these types of petitions back then as people are today. People didn't have live screen recording software and server logs would only prove intentional training if they showed someone doing it over and over again. So if they only did it once or twice there would usually be nothing we could do because when you invised into the zone the offender had already ceased doing it so there wasn't proof. This was a common issue back in the day with enforcement of a variety of things such as kill stealing, etc. It could be pretty hard to prove and discipline unless we were lucky enough to get the petition and invis over to watch the offender in real time.

Ahhh yeah that makes sense. I was never one to file petitions (or /report back in the day) and I still don't - but I do know that OBS / Screen Caps are a huge part of the petition process on p99 these days.
Thanks!
