From: Sindy Tsure If it's for objects being blacklisted, the list probably doesn't get that big - more likely it just pokes the asset and sets some "can't be rezzed" flag. Instead of having to go through the list of everything blacklisted when you try to rez something, it'd just get the asset and check to make sure that magic flag wasn't set. That would be more sensible. But this is LL we are talking about...  |

From: Darien Caldwell I'm betting on the object itself being blacklisted. Makes you wonder, if that blacklist gets big, does that slow down rezzing? Does your item have to be checked against a 200 entry long list on every rez, or maybe 2000 entries? I could see why that would be something LL wanted to avoid doing if possible. It wouldn't have to be compared to a list, just have a "flag" next to it in the database, so no perceptible change.

From: Travis Lambert Des - at the risk of not making a much longer tl;dr post, I'm hoping what I said above answers your question. I had no idea you had BL access via NCI..... irony indeed  I know that you'd absolutely, positively, never ever use the system on philosophical grounds. But - depending on the access privliges NCI granted you, you could use that as an opportunity to do a little fact-finding recon mission of your own.... I'd hope that you'd be at least somewhat pleasantly surprised Oh, there's nothing I really disagree with above, and yeah tl;dr is icky in most cases. On the small scale, I could kinda care less about a guy banning someone from some parcels and telling two friends, yada yada. People do that already, whatevah. It's only if a blacklist system got *institutionalised* on a large scale that it becomes scary. Which hasn't happened, and seems to be getting less theoretically likely. Unless the use of blacklisting systems are somehow outpacing the growth of the grid. We aren't hearing much squawk in that regard so until there's evidence I'd say the safe guess is: it's not happening. I'm only a guest of Carl at NCI - the reason I'm in there is that I'm actively interested in supporting NCI in my own bumbling way. I think there's a lot of synergy to be had between educational institutions and land barons. In fact, I didn't even know of the banlink access until he told me about it. I may very well check it out in my copious spare time... grin... seriously, I might. I'd looked at the site a few times 'back in the day' and even looked up my avatar (I wasn't banned anywhere, yey!) - this was back in the days of full public lookup. Philosophically, yeah, I wouldn't use it - but that's different from being ignorant about how it works. I know the basics, but really haven't kept up in the past year or so. * * * * * As for blacklisting scripted objects... I wonder what Isaac Asimov would have to say about that? grin

I seem to remember the lindens having the ability to delete all items with a specific name at the server level. Griefers got around this by using various names so I suspect now it might be a combo of this and by creator name.

"blacklisting" refers to object banning. If a blacklisted object is rezzed inworld, the simulator will delete it with the alert "can not rez object blacklisted"... perhaps that's what was meant?

Thanks for all the replies! The last two seem to be the most likely I suspect.... they've all gone and haven't reappeared anyway! |
