Nerf
From TheKolWiki
A nerf is a change in the rules that does one or more of the following:
- weakens some object or ability
- decreases the value of an item
- removes an exploit
The word is usually used in a negative sense, as an implied complaint, but enlightened players recognize that it is the game admin's responsibility to provide balance and a fun game for all. It's also sometimes used in a neutral fashion with no positive or negative tone implied.
Nerfing is a commonly used term among online games in general, not just the Kingdom of Loathing. For more information and background see Nerf (computer gaming) at Wikipedia.

- The term refers to the NERF brand of children's toys which are made of soft, pliable foam. These are fairly popular among parents because they are less dangerous than hard toys, and less likely to cause damage when wielded by a careless child.
