what may be needed is a couple things

1 any item with a center outside the allowed range should be either
"shoved"  directly into allowed range or deleted.
2 on OS capable viewers there should be a "radar" that allows you to
see ALL items in a given region and have the following options

A delete by X where X is one of [name,owner/owner uuid,script contents]
B a script kill button
C DeCloak/Enlarge [fixing the Tiny/Twisted object problem]
D God Take
