A simple protection against griefing


Recommended Posts

To the poster above, OP meant whenever a player is kicked due to administrative actions or just a vote kick, that survivor should drop everything regardless of whether that setting's enabled or not.

Also the idea of eaten food just reappearing sounds funny as Manure.png.1687a6bcbfc16a59dd6179805fc2c547.png.

Someone has hunted those trio Tusks before you and got their Cane and/or Tam? Dammit! *Starts Vote-kick on said player; writes in chat: "Guys, this RandomNick chappy just looted my boat, is taking everything from my chests and whispering me really obscene and very nasty things, I can't even.. pls vote yes to kick"* Vote passes and all RandomNick player's possessions dropped on floor the moment they got booted out with a bang from the server's NosePickersWithPinky gang. 'Grats, now that sweet loot is yours to grab. Trololol_smooth-sailing101.

Noobs taking valuable things without permission is one thing, but trolls will troll. I can immediately picture a webber (or any char with traps) grabbing an inventory full of mosquitos/spiders and then baiting out a kick vote just to troll in the afterlife. Yes one could also just drop their own inventory, but to a troll there's something satisfying about hoisting someone by their own petard. Or even using status announcements to use the live enemies as leverage after grabbing jellybeans/pigskin/deerclops eyes or whatever. That way if they kick and it gets dropped, so does an army.

I've seen people spend 10 minutes spamming rollback votes because antlion attacked at night and the vote isn't passing fast enough to go back a day, so they call their friends in to kick everyone off the server to be able to rollback.

They don't need more tools to run public servers like they own them, spamming votekicks on everyone when an item goes missing trying to find it when the real culprit already dropped it in the ocean. If you want this for your servers it's an option in world settings right now. The only situation this would help normal players instead of griefers or mass-kickers is if you watched them take the item, but you can just rollback if it's so important.

That's a lot of effort for a random pub world that's just gonna get deleted in an hour seeing as it's already winter

You'd be surpirsed how much common methods like this are used despite this fact...
