Lesser of Ban Evils, and Thank You

Having all ban heights at 15meters was pathetically inadequate in ALL regards. I dont think there has EVER been a post denying this fact that wasn't written by an avatar who has been a known greifer or by the alt of said greifer.

Increasing the 'black list' bans up to 200m is truely appreciated. Due to skyboxes 512m would have been better to help cover people who have have multiple 'levels' floating above their property that get used as 'pseudo basements' or other reasons. For this you have the undieing thanks of the WHOLE community (minus greifers who dont count).

15m was also unacceptible for the restrictions placed on 'white list' enabled land. The whole community understood this and is very grateful for an increase. Sadly as these bans are a lot more encompassing 200m is too drastic. 64m would have been best, with potentially increasing to 128m. Maybe not 128m but that would be another experiment.

I understand that due to the 'current' technical limitations (mainly the fact the two features are not de-coupled from each other) a compromise was IMMEDIATELY needed to help deal with the public outcry due to lax verification methods (that we understand are still under review as an experiment).

If nothing was done _At All_ that would have been far worse than the current fix. The current 'fix' though is in itself broken, though it Is by far a lesser evil than the previous situation.

I'm quite grateful that instead of leaving things alone, and instead of drastically raising both limits to the needed 512m height (some say infinate) that Linden Lab made a compromise to give us an IMMEDIATELY TOOL to help deal with our current issues.

Understanding aside the feature _IS_ still broken. What is the timescale (1 week, 2 months) we can expect to get the two ban features decoupled from each other so that White vs Black lists are not handled the same? The need seperated in order to have the most protection while causing the least disturbance. They serve different _Purposes_ and should not be treated the same.

I have additional issues regarding the max entries on said lists but that will be mentioned in a Feature Suggestion post instead. Please respond as time permits and thanks again for taken 'some' action even though we understand it cant be the 'final' action.

Gotcha Seronis. Also adding your feedback to the file I've got open on this... I'm sure you've read numerous other threads on this too!

Hey, does anyone out there know something like DEVONthink but for PC? I need some better information organizers, it'd help me do my job better. Email me at [email]torley@lindenlab.com[/email] if you do. Thanx.
