Title: A way to ban people from private maps?
Post by: dinoanc on November 05, 2012, 11:37:14 pm
I think this is where I need to post this. o-o
But seriously, this makes me mad. I'll be peacefully RPing by myself, and then some troll enters the map. We asked the kindly to leave, and the don't.
It'd be nice if atleast the map maker had the option to ban people from their maps and stuff.
I think alot of people would love it.
Seriously. o-o

I know right?
Like, we should have another tab and type in the Map MODs
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THAT WOULD BE SO EPIC.

If you catch people trolling in your map, Screenshot it and send it to the mods, they will deal with it personally.

But Yes i agree, that would be quite useful! c:

I have tried, it doesn't help too much. v.v And plus, it doesn't KEEP them from not entering the map. ;-;

Block them? xD Thats always an easy way out. If They're Block they won't have anyone to troll.

Good idea, I would love to do that, but meh, blocking to me, is the best way to go.

Amen to that suggestion~!
I believe this needs to be assessed by Red or one of those awesome floofs; a white-list would be perfect for mini-maps. (And apparently it has, but another look couldn't really hurt. ;w;) Here, have some reasons I spent hours coming up with to do so! :D
Ohmai. It feels like I just typed an essay for school or something.
Well, technically I did type an essay. For a good cause! *Shakes fist and raises poster*.
Anywho, a white-list on FeralHeart would be a great thing.
Now, I'm no technician or game-maker, but it couldn't be that hard to do, right? I mean, it could be like Minecraft is (Lol, yes... I am so sorry for referencing another game, but fo' reals!) with it's little notepad document where you list the names of users not allowed in your server. Or something you can create in the map maker, though if this were so, every time you'd ban a member you'd need a map update... [Andsomemapsareprettybig. :I] I understand it could be confusing in the fact that anybody could get a hold of this notepad file, but there has to be a way, right...? I dunno, this isn't really up to me. *Points to not a technician or game-maker*.
Welp, thanks for your time and thanks for reading thus far! This would be a genuinely amazing addition to FeralHeart. Just sayin'. :3

Been mentioned countless of times that this is not something that is possibly to set up at the moment.

As much as users see positives it comes with tons and tons of negatives as well, and there is not really any true easy way to set up so users can kick members out of the maps or even ban them. I don't want to ramble on about why this is exactly since it's already been done before.

But the maps are saved locally on your computer, while the server holds the information for one once someone starts it up/enters it. Somewhere in this it means that names of the mods of maps needs to be saved to the server or at least this information must go through, setting powers to members or checking up on potential whitelists for maps.

Maps hashes must always be provided so users don't make conflicts with the maps and other stuffies, in all honesty I believe this is not something that will happen anytime soon unless there's a really good way to sort it out that is actually possible. To be honest I'm not a big fan of having users with powers in their maps, I can just see how we would get complaints and reports about members abusing their powers in bigger roleplays just to get these to work out for them the best as soon as something doesn't go their way.

Or the whitelist idea, how users must re-export the map in order for the whitelisting to update with new names, and in that case the ones having the old map would just be able to walk in there without issues since this whitelist must be on the server I believe, and in that case a new function must be made just for users to change and update this list, and in that case another function must be made just for members to manage old and new maps, and in that case I can see how maps do not get updated properly and the list goes on and on.

I cannot say this is how it has to be, and as long as someone got a good idea to sort things like this like many programmers have a creative mind for then maybe there's an answer, but at the moment I myself cannot see how this would even be able to set up in a good way, especially since the game is completely at halt at the moment as well.

Yes, true this game does come with coutless good things, though I think we are all just a bit downers cause we do think of the bad. Though blocking works well for me, block then walk away.

I have problems with the Block thing.
I mean, don't take this in a bad way but I don't really need it o-o
Being the leader of an RP, I have to plan things and you know, THE ENEMIES >_>
Well, for me, if the whole RP blocks that one person, that one person can do something that I can only imagine o-o
Like, they use the map for their own purpose o-o
I know, no one THINKS that but, hey, anything can happen in the real world.
Except for flying unicorns >_>
Just putting my opinion

Good point, I am glad they have the block though, a good thing about it though is that, if you block them, then neither them or you can see eachother.
-pulls out of ShameCorner- chu okay! :)

Yep Thyme. The block button is not there because it looks beautiful

But I have to admit I like the idea.

I can understand that this would be difficult to accomplish.

But I can also understand that this would be helpful;

I have been in a roleplay, a player broke the rules and got mad when they were warned that they'd broken one.
They pushed too hard one day and were blocked.
Shortly after, they returned on another account, everyone knew it was them. It wasn't reported to the Feralheart mods (Yet) because we'd figured we could handle it, and that they were busy with plenty of player's problems and didn't need ours to add to it. They kept bothering us, eventually the roleplay's creator whispered them and asked them to stop.
It didn't end well
We reported them then. Sent in several screenshots as-well.
But apparently, we "Let it go too far before reporting it."
It's still going on even now.
We can't block them, they'll come back.
We can't report them, we "let it go too far."
We can't ban them from the map either.
We can only sit there and wait for them to harass someone else.

Be so kind and send me a message of proof of this response.. I'd understand if the screenshots provided wasn't clear enough or lacks proof, but I honestly do not believe this until I see it.

I agree that we should make the map banning thing happen. I mean, once, two random people just burst into the rp and were trolling around. Blue, Dino, remember that? They wouldn't leave for a while and I think I left before I knew what happened, so this map banning sounds fantastic.

You're talking about a whitelist happening? I don't think we need a whitelist for maps. If this were to apply for official maps, it'd be a while waiting for the list to allow you in. Sure, this would be a good idea for maps that would be recommended for people 18 or over but in my opinion, I don't think it would happen. Wouldn't it make some people feel that they're not needed? I would think so. After all, Feralheart is a free game, so shouldn't we keep it this way, by allowing anyone to join? Like users have said, blocking is a way better thing to do. In shorter words, I don't think this'll be added.
