Just realized I posted this in the Poli-Sci area. I've moved this post to the FEATURE SUGGESTIONS area.

Please forgive. I have the flu today and my sensory systems aren't 100% functional. :D

1. Since the majority of griefing involves PVP, yet some legitimate games and features use PVP.... give individual users the option of turning PVP on and off. If it's not on, PVP, caging, bullets etc have absolutely no effect at all. When they hit, their scripting is automatically turned off.. thus rendering even special effects useless. There could be some sort of indicator when PVP is turned off during a PVP attack in order to prevent people from cheating at games and to let people know that they are being attacked. Of course, this function would default to "on".


I'm not sure if I understand this, but when PVP is turned off, any object heading towards you avatar would need to check your PVP status, if on carry on going, if off stop in mid-air or derez?

I may have got it completely wrong, but that'd be awful. Theres no way to tell if an object moving towards your avatar has negative intentions. It'd create a lot of lag (I believe) and stop all sorts of things working.

2. Eliminate "nuke" devices by limiting the amount of the same item that can be replicated within a given area during a certain amount of time. That will take some balancing of course... but then... doesn't all gaming?


So if I want to rez a big build, hold a building contest etc, I'll get a message telling me I'll have to wait? And I'm pretty sure it'll take less physics prims than people may want to rez at any given time for any given reason to crash a sim.

3. Give sim owners and land owners the ability to not only ban people from a land... but if a ban is initiated, remove that person immediately from the land. That way sim owners won't be standing there waiting for the griefer to leave for the ban to take effect-- it takes effect immediately.


Agreed.

4. Remove the static "50 person max ban) and allow land owners to ban as many people as necessary to protect their lands. The current need to use external security devices is expensive and a royal pain to set up.


Agreed.
