I have been getting reports of camp bots coming and unseating pre-existing campers by repeatedly clicking sit on the camp chair. This seemes to unseat the surrent avie and replaces them with the new and the old one does not get their earned payment. Has anyone noticed anything like this and do you know a way to prevent this? I have tested it and it does work.

Is it bad that I'm happy about such a situation because I despise the idea of camping in general? Hehe...
...one security feature you could add is to require a wait of x amount of time before a new avatar can sit on a camping chair ... and if they sit before that time, they don't earn any L$. Just off the top of my head. _____________________

While camping has been much abused it does have some legitimate uses. Paying dancers in clubs during normally light traffic periods, or as I use it for, paying people to demo my products. Camping by itself is not a problem, its the abuse of it and I think you will find that use of massive armies of bots is more of an issue than camping ever was.

You could consider using a "captcha". e.g. a dialog that asks a random but simple question with maybe three answers (A, B, C) offered at time of sit but before the camping session started. If there's no answer or an incorrect answer then you can unsit the bot and maybe add it to the parcel ban list.

The problem is not bots or even AFK people on the camp object, its people comming along anf being able to evict someone already camping and to take their place.

Hmm, are you saying that you can replace the avatar on the sit target?
This i have never seen... I suspect something else is going on in the script. _____________________

I have to agree with Esc, sounds like a wonky script to me.
