Hello there! I'm Vekk Sonic and I'm considering making a security system that all of SecondLife can contribute to. What I plan to do is allow users to report someone for griefing. They will do this by clicking a button on a HUD and entering the name of the person who they wish to report. This will then send a message to a website which will input the name of the person into a database.
The second part of this system will be a single-prim object which people will be able to put on their land. Every time someone new enters their land, the system checks the website to see how many reports this person has. If it is over a certain amount, this person will be banned from the land for about 10 minutes (not permanently primarily because there is a limit on the number of banned people on one parcel).
Essentially, we could work together to keep griefers OFF our land. There's nothing more annoying than building or scripting and being pushed around by some person you've never seen before. Why should we have to turn on no-entry and make our land inaccessible to any other passers-by?
The reason I am posting is to ask if you would support this system. I see no point in going through the trouble of scripting this and paying for a year of hosting if the system would go almost entirely unused. Please note that this idea is not 100% sketched out, I am still working on ideas such as how to prevent over-reporting or the reporting of innocent people.
Please let me know what you think and tell me if you would support the fight against griefers in SecondLife!

No , I am not interested in your System. I can send an AR through the in game system. Your second idea sounds too much like a blacklist to me. No thank you.

Before you go through the trouble, this system already exists: /108/32/131273/1.html |

Hm, that looks similar, although they seem to be actually sharing ban lists, and it is not global. I plan to make this system global and not use the conventional ban lists that SecondLife provides us with by default.

I voted yes, but I wouldn't pay for a security system. It's a lovely thought but the ban list works fine. Good luck

One important feature of banlink (which you may choose to emulate in your system if you dont have a better alternative) is land owners can choose whose peoples banslists they trust.
This helps prevent situations where bans are used as a form of griefing, as noone would trust the banlists of someone who is known to be too strange in their bans.
