If burning life is supposed to be a way for residents to express themselves for others to see and enjoy, why in the world are participants allowed to set ban lines on their parcels? It just doesn't makes sense to me, I thought the theme was to be a public place, not another grid with red ban lines set just for group member access. I can understand bieng able to ban residents who grief and such, but why build a public place, then set it to allow only group members, just ruins the whole experience IMHO.

*sighs* Echo, my understanding is sometimes the ban lines are meant to make a "statement"--I also know of some others who had the lines up when building but took them down when they were more comfortable to let others walk through. I just hope there are enough nice places to visit that the ban lines don't ruin the rest of the experience for you.  Thankfully, it looks like the vast majority is open-access.
