"I Ban Thee" in Holy Area.

This is a problem. It's being a abused. I have reported it but I don't know if the offender has recieved any punishment or warning for it. So lets just remove the "I Ban Thee" command from Holy Areas because people cannot handle the power.


So far I only seen it being abused by Order of Nature. I don't know if they were punished but I surely hope so.

Instead of removing it from holy areas, why not make it to where if used in a holy area it has to be cast on an npc otherwise it does nothing. I have seen it useful in Imperial when guards block the doorway and someone needs to get out and doesn't want to wait the minute or two it takes before the guard moved.

Sounds good actually. Perhaps Ares can script it? A check when casting "I Ban Thee". If Holy Area, won't work.

Ofcourse you're a goldfish and you've never abused anything on Pangaea.

And the topic itself does make sense.
I'd like to see it removed from the Altar Area, but could work only in the Temple Rooms (against houserobbers or other abuses)

I know exactly what the rules write. The thing i banned was nightmare, nothing else.. and those zabren's "abuses" were a ton of time ago?

EDIT: Such screenshots like yours are very personal and accusing someone on boards is not wanted around here either. If you want to suggest an idea, go to the ideas section and post it there.

Naa its cool, i did what i did and i took the responsability/punishments from that.
Altough, i could see some justification of abusing AI in the Nature temple due to the 2 floors.

EDIT; If it makes you any happier i could ask msyelf to be knocked down to 10 piety for what all i've abused, but hey. I'm not a lowling, nor am i trying to catch your attention.

I see nothing wrong with the first pic, where he's basically banning you from his own house. If this was illegal, it should be illegal with every house there is and we could just remove I ban thee altogether.

The other pics are like quite old, and I'm not sure why you even put them here, as the case has probably been solved long ago.

Btw, is that healing-spamming macro even legal? :P (Probably is anyway)

The screenshots are there to highlight the fact that it's a repeated occurance which needs a good solution and not just a one time thing.

Personally, I'm sad to see abuse still happening.

I don't think the real abuse has happened at all after the time second picture set was taken. As I said, the first pic shouldn't be considered abuse, as it's player owned house. The real thing that's illegal is when you start I ban thee'ing people from the altar area (i.e, every pic but 1st), but do you have any evidence of it happening again after those pics were taken?

Of course, the verdict is up to GMs actually. This is just my opinion here.

why wouldnt a healing macro be legal?

That's something you can set up with the ingame macro system and uoloop so yes it is legal until they get rid of .use bandage I would imagine
