[Opensim-users] Privacy in lands

[Fleep Tuque]

If you mean the banlines, I always disallowed them in any land I managed in
Second Life because they are ugly and not at all user friendly.  Half the
mainland in Second Life used to be marred with those hideous red lines, I'd
be very sad to see them in OpenSim.

Considering land in most OpenSim grids is free or pretty cheap, I dunno why
you'd want to cut up parcels like that instead of just using private
regions?  Last time I checked, a region that is not set to public access
isn't visible on the map or in the viewer to anyone who doesn't have
access.  The banlines never prevented anyone from camming in anyway, all
they did was annoy everyone trying to get around.

I suppose as others mentioned, if someone wants to write and contribute the
code, I couldn't object, but only so long as it could be disabled, because
I surely won't want it on any grid I manage.  I doubt I'd want to visit any
grid that uses them either because there's nothing more aggravating than
trying to fly from Point A to Point B and bouncing like a ping pong ball
from banline to banline.

We hatess them.  :P
