[Opensim-users] Consequences of vicinity

[Stefan Andersson]

Actually,
 
since it's currently up to the _observer_ to place your region in its vincinity, water sims are a non-solution for the problem of people killing popular sims with child agents because they all want it as neighbours.
 
The solution probably lies within the concept of 'tourists' coming from 'foreign' regions. Obvious sociopolitical issues aside, a region should probably be able to restrict agent connections and updates to any non-blessed child agents. That should probably be easy to implement.
 
Of course, it's still a good idea to surround _your_ end of a hyperlink with watersims, in case the target sim starts acting funny.
