From: Jack Harker The people who want to be able to control pushes against their own avatars are being perfectly reasonable and willing to compromise, but we're *not* willing to compromise the basic principal that *we* and no one else should have the ultimate say on who's allowed to push our avatars and who isn't. Even pushes from the owner of someone else's private island? What if there's a game that it would be very easy to cheat at if some av refused to take pushes? I think there is a solution in all this discussion that will satisfy all parties, and that discussion here is covering everything that is needed, it just has a bunch of little clauses we need to be careful about.

From: Jack Harker See the proposal that I made previously. You allow people to give permission to say "yes" to being pushed by a certain person's devices, and make it stick.
So in the examples above, you have some gadget when they first start ask permission to push them, and ask the user to please give permission for other items from the same owner to continue to push them so that they can experience the rest of the build.
I mean yes, it's more of a nusiance for the builder, but being being griefed with weapons being based on "push" and it's cousins has become a *lot* more than a nusiance.
The people who want to be able to control pushes against their own avatars are being perfectly reasonable and willing to compromise, but we're *not* willing to compromise the basic principal that *we* and no one else should have the ultimate say on who's allowed to push our avatars and who isn't. Or alternatively, just as it is today, you make your choice based on the parcel flags. It would be ridiculous to have a situation where you could be shot and killed but not pushed. Would you like to get rid of the damage flag, the no-fly flag, the no-script flag? |
