Has anyone else noticed that THOSE signs disappear when you click on them? They don't exactly bother me aesthetically... I just click them away if they bug my view. O.o

Yes, they disappear for 20 minutes if you click on them.

Now if someone could script an item that would send a 'touch' command to a specific point every 20 minutes that would be most helpful :D

Spare alternate accounts and some AutoIt scripting or aMmacroMagic routine might be doable also.

YA scripted object might be useful to position the camera.

Hey, there's an idea... put camping chairs near them, and pay the newbies for touching the signs over and over. :D

Normally I do not like camping chairs and the principle behind them.... but I think I would be prepared to make an exception for this special case.

One thing to be wary of: when you touch the sign, your name, UUID, and location are passed to the script. You do not know that disappearing is the only thing the script is doing.

Amongst other things, it's possible he's counting the number of times each sign is made invisible, so that he knows which ones people are finding most annoying and can put the prices up on them.

A sensor would accomplish the same thing, or bumping into the signs.
