Global ban script

I did a little script aimed for large land owners and sim owner to ban ppl, the difference with regular ban is that it eject you to your home fro, any height, you can fly as high as you want you will still be teleported to home.

Is it something forbitten by the TOS?

Errr, just ejectfromland is usually considered sufficient. Be warned that if you do it near a sim boundary, people will be ejected into the Void, and will be unhappy about this!

To reduce grief to others, you could:
- put a proximity warning around the ejectfromland area
- build a box around the ejectfromland area so people cant easily enter by accident

Note that ejectfromland does work at any height just as well as teleportagenthome. Dont forget to unsit the agent first or they can fly in.

No, it's not, and teleport-to-home is the only solution island-sim owners have, so good on ya for makin' it.

i use teleport to home, did the script for Galeria city

This is a good place to mention my Lock Tite Security Systems.

We have worked closely with LL to have a smooth operating system within TOS parameters. We are completely up to date based on the latest releases.

We operate on inividual or group owned lands.

Currently we protect homes, clubs, lands, and multiple private sims. All our products are menu driven, user friendly and come with complete manuals.

For Large areas we have completely networked systems and after land requirements are determined can auto-deploy a complete network with the touch of one button.

The Lock Tite Premise Guardian blocks all access to land except those you allow.

The Lock Tite Premise Bouncer ejects avatars from your land on your command.

The Lock Tite Window Guardian prevents peeping Toms from bothering you.

Meaner than a Junk Yard Dog....Look for the big red vendors at most major malls or contact me in game.

Uhm, Kyrah, no offense, but big-ass banning systems have been done before...


WAY before. I made one for Little Tokyo back in the day.

I'd like to use this as an opportunity to remind people not be total asshats about restricting access to their land. The reason the built-in restrictions only extend to a certain height is because people rely on the ability to fly to get from one point to another. Enforcing your right to privacy is fine, but don't overcompensate by restricting access so much that people in transit are disrupted.

To the designers of security systems I suggest the following: have varying levels of response. The first time someone enters sensor range, allow them up to 30 seconds to leave the area before booting them. The second time they enter within the next 24 hours, boot them after 15 seconds. The third time within 24 hours, and boot them immediately. Such a tiered system would prevent harassment without aggrieving innocent travellers too much. Thankfully, many of the current systems already follow a similar approach. To those of you designing new systems or who are just reinventing the wheel, please consider such a multi-tiered response.

Two rules we should all try to follow:
1. Keep land restrictions from the ground up to 30 meters or above 100 meters. This provides plenty of airspace for people just travelling through the area, and doesn't hamper your ability to build in a major way. 30m is good for most residential builds, and you've still got the entire range from 100m up to work with.
2. Don't make your restriction/rejection too obnoxious. If I'm flying a vehicle 50 meters and suddenly I'm unseated and pushed into the next sim, I'm going to be pissed. It's overkill.

Unless of course it's an island sim, which is what Kyrah is designing for.

God, what's with everyone running in here being negative about some poor scripter's question, posting spam, and other horrid crap?

Does that crap include your response, Mole? If I'd wanted to be negative, I could have been. Instead, I was offering my own advice to those scripters who read these forums and might be thinking to themselves, "Self, let's make a really stupid access-contro, system and annoy our neighbors."

God, what's with everyone running in here being negative...

Scripter asks question about TOS.

One person says "Why do it that way when you can do it another way?" suggesting a way that wouldn't work and/or cause problems for people.

Another person spams.

Another says "Why the hell are you bothering? It's been done before, and as we all know, everything that's been done before can never be improved upon."

Another's off-topic suggestions they didn't ask for.

The last is, by far, the best of the bunch, and NONE of those actually answered Kyrah's question.

yes and a good idea not to add to the oof topic by doing add for your services

so is my thing too harsh for the TOS?

Not at all Kyrah. I use the exact same myself.

I see "and" in there. One would assume he's also referring to non island owners.

My guess is that if you ran this script in the mainland and took out someone far above your property, then they could probably abuse report it if they are over 100 metres and are just on their way to an event.
