The /denyservices command is a simple toggle. To deny service to someone you type the command once. To allow them to receive healing, etc.. simply type it again during the same session. The command isn't remembered from session to session.

There's no viewable list like there is with /addignore for example. (at least not that I am aware of)

Your /deny list is not permanent like your /ignore list. Unfortunately there's no way to see who's on it or not, but at the same time, I think it's only active while they are in range of you. If they move out of range and then come back in range of you again, I think they will be removed from your /deny list. Anytime you log, your /deny list is cleared. If someone is in range of you and you /deny them and you want to enable them again, then I think you can /deny them a second time and it will remove them from your list. I think it basically works like a toggle.

Thanks for the info!

You can also /deny objects. So the next time that potted plant (style 1) is bugging you, just give 'em the ol' /deny...so they can't enjoy your performance, that will show 'em!

haha! OMG, that's too wonderful!

Though the original question is long answered I gotta put my comment to this, too.

You may keep permanent /deny lists by using alias files. Assume you've got a "lists.txt" file in your SWG directory. Create a few commands:

#BEGIN
updateLists: /addfriends; /pause 10; /addIgnores; /pause 10; /addDenies

addfriends: /addInfinityFriends; /addStarsiderFriends;
addIgnores: /addInfinityIgnores; /addStarsiderIgnores;
addDenies: /addInfinityDenies; /addStarsiderDenies;

addInfinityFriends: /addfriend SWG.Europe-Infinity.MrNiceGuy; ...
addStarsiderFriends: /addfriend SWG.Starsider.MrNiceGuy; ...

addInfinityIgnores: /addignore SWG.Europe-Infnity.IHateYou; ...
addStarsiderIgnores: /addignore SWG.Starsider.IHateYou; ...

addInfinityDenies: /denyservice SWG.Europe-Infinity.LicksEveryone; ...
addStarsiderDenies: /denyservice SWG.Starsider.LicksEveryone; ...
#END

Then you create a macro with every characer only consisting of the lines:
/load lists.txt
/updateLists
put it on toolbar one and execute it at startup. It would be wise to put in a half second pause in ever 10 names or so, since otherwise it will be recognized as flooding commands by the server.

This has the following advantages:

• Your deny list is permanent.


• You maintain a single friend/ignore/deny list for all your characters on all servers.


• You may devide your list in different contexts, such as the original servers in the example.

Problems are:

• You cannot add comments or groups to friends, making it more difficult to remember the context into which a name belongs.


• You gotta maintain it offline or taskswitched, if you maintain it taskswitched you gotta remember to reload it.


• To remove someone from a list you must do it both ingame and offline (assuming that there is no command to remove someone from ignore and friend list).

Nice aliases but there is one small flaw. The /deny command only works if the person being denied is within range to hear a performance. So if you /deny someone who is not logged in and is not within "hearing" distance of you the command won't have any affect. I won't /deny that running the alias gives the entertainer a certain satisfaction each time and that may well be worth the alias.

There used to be a /deny list but that was back in the day - and /denyservice was permanent at one time. It was taken out with a patch/hotfix but never mentioned.

A permanent denyservice will never happen. Was brought up at the entertainer forum and their response was that it would privatize entertainers. And following that lines then Crafters and doctors would privatize and before long only those people who are connected will get the best of what they want and or need.

And the devs dont want that to happen. If there is someone who keeps on coming to you in order to harrass or grief you send in a harrassment report. ( The devs actually said that line.)

Harrassment is taken very seriously in SWG. Unlike lots of other things. *cough* Bug repair *cough*

Privatize? What are they talking about? Who are they afraid of privatizing, the bots? Come on! That doesn't even make sense. Crafters can already do things like ban guilds and individuals from thair structures. They have been able to from the beginning. It hasn't ruined the game. Some do restrict access to some buildings, but most leave their vendors open to the public. That's what you do if you want to make money. Same thing for entertainers. Most of us *want* to help as many people as we can. The only ones we would want to shut out are those that really deserve it, and even then if some slacker ticks off one Entertainer or even a group in one place, they can go somewhere else and find another Entertainer. If they haven't learned to be nice at that point, then they deserve to keep getting denied until they learn some manners. If that's their only reason for not letting us maintain a permanent deny list, they need to think again.

*blink* I must have heard it differently, as they said the /deny should stick after server reboot and will be fixed. In context of having it work exactly like your /addignore list, no, there won't be a list like that which you can review in the UI.
