Question in re: Abuse Report Overhaul.

With the overhaul of abuse reports and the mention of more tools for parcels and estates, would these two things be possible?

Before I go and try to persue a feature request I'd like to find out if this is even *possible* since I don't know the structure of bans or the ban list from the back end.

With the increasing population, as time goes on, our ban list inches up higher and higher towards the 300 mark.

A lot of these accounts are likely dead accounts.

Is there a way we could get the following:

1) a search within our banlist. Scrolling takes a very long time.

2) A very broad-granularity indicator of last login. (This Week, This Month, Within Last 3 Months, Within Last 6 months, possibly) so we can prune inactives.

3) When an account disappears from SL, could it be removed from our banlist as well? Or just indicated as gone in the list so we could remove it. I'd have no problem having to press a button to run this query. Or perhaps the name could go gray when the list is viewed, to reduce constant DB work.

But as of right now, through 133 bans, we have to scroll through, view and search 4 at a time, see if they still exist, remove, then start from the top again since it jumps back to the top.

These would go a long way towards self-management. Would these even be feasible or possible to do?

Thanks,
Michi

Thanks Michi, I think those are good feature suggestions, and as I've heard here many times "anything is possible". Feasible? As we expand on the residents' toolset, it makes perfect sense to expand ban list usability. Repeatedly increasing the ban list wouldn't be very scalable, so these suggestions are definitely valid. Please do add them to feature voting!
