Any of you who feel that /citywarn would not be abused if it was returned to the game need to review what a small change such as increasing the spawn time on Nyax has done to the community.

No one's interested in playing 'fair' or getting along with anyone else, they're out for as much as they can get and damn the rest of the playerbase. I'm personally glad such a powerful tool as /citywarn is out of their hands.

Just accept that it's gone and move on for Pete's sake.

We know its gone and why. The discussion here is how could it be brought back in a form that cannot be used for grieving.

We lost a valuable tool

You see, Thats where you are wrong. I know many people on Tarq that are here to "Enjoy" the experience of this game. There are always those that will be jerks. And thats exactly why city warn is needed. So we dont have to tolerate their childish behaviors.

If someone wants to make a city and call it scum of the earth and everyone gets banned from and /warnned whats wrong with that. Only people allowed into the city are BH's, Smugglers and entertainers.

I would love a city like that!

so much roleplaying potential

If a city abuses the system people will stop going their.

and if it is near a POI and your to lazy to drive. get some people together and make another city near it that does not /warn.

It comes down to belief. I believe that player cities, while created by players, are for players and not just the ones that brought it into being. I believe this because there are a finite number of cities that can be created, as well as size limits. Cities are not faction bases, nor are they guild halls. Thats just it, they are. There is a guild on Flurry that has over 300 memebrs last i heard and they comprise their entire city just about. They also have bases and shops. So the city is both a military base and a massive guild hall essentaily. (I speak of corriban for those who know of it).

You want to ban someone from using city services, fine, but making someone attackable is not. What happens if my city ban's my best customer? Or my buddy? My city has warnings about having equiped weapons, but I have to equip a weapon to get good missions from the terminals?

I still believe that a system is already in place to prevent punks from causing problems, and its /addignore.

You seem to think addignore salves lots of things, but it just masks the problem, it doesnt gett em ouuta town.

Some people believe differently. Its unfortuante that they are wrong, but I will respect their right to have a wrong opinion . You cant have wrong opinions, but you can have wrong facts. You sir have present no facts that citywarn is evil, just your opinions and generizations of what happened. Yes people greifed, i my self was killed a few times while shuttling in. But the number of times iv seen it used for good more than makes up for it IMO.

Also, if a thing can be abused and exploited, it will be. Any /ban or /warn that can be used to rid a city of a pain-in-the-butt griefer can also be used to grief. Saying it needs to come back is one thing, but no one has seen fit to give idea's on how it can be returned without griefing...

I've never been wrong. I thought I was once, But I was mistaken

I just thought of a good way to bring it back!

Only allow cities with the Stronghold Specialization to beable to use /citywarn

This would make only the people who really want to defend there city use it. all the people who want the research or medical speicialzation would not use it.

Just got to thinking what if they put back city warn but only allowed cities with Stronghold Specialization to be able to have that ability.

that would rule cause milita would matter again. i would settle for militia tefs again
