Thread: Is This A Legitimate Tactic For A Mayor?
IMHO given the limited usage described above... and given the current broken nature of Mayors
it is a valid tactic
it (again given the limited usage described above) is not an exploit
CSRs should not remove these before consulting the Mayor in question (given the limited usage described above)
DONT DO IT
you will have a warning put on your account no matter what the guy in the house whos house you blocked did.
however, we are going to be using the trick for a non griefing reason. Our mega mall is in a pitifull state but the house belongs to someone whom no longer plays on our server so we are going to let the house self destruct. On june 2nd we are closing the mall to all traffic using streetlights labeled MALL CLOSED USE TEMP MALL BEHIND SHUTTLE this will save us the embarasement of the sad state that the mall is in. currentluy we have about 25 vendors in there and only about 6 are in use the rest are from long since gone hologrinders. Once the house goes poof we are then going to construct tents or place a new house with an active owner.
hope this helps
the best thing you can do to someone you dont want in your city anymore is to cend out a city wide e-mail saying the the city coucil has determined so and so an unacceptable citizen and should be put on ignore and banned from your private structures..
I agree with the idea that mayors should be given more city commands at their disposal to remove those unwanted citizens. 
In a recent incident I became mayor of a city that was being disbanded and decided to restructure the city to make it more appealing to our outside visitors. Unfortunately there was one person who's house was in the way of completing this task. After many efforts of trying to get this said person to move her house to a better spot in the layout I was unsuccessful and attempted the tactic of blocking her doorway. I was warned by CSR's and was instructed to remove the blockage.
Bad thing was was that this person was residing in another PC and was merely using this house for storage.
So to my dismay we were forced to uproot our whole city due to one unreasonable player.
Mayors should have the option of being able to either evict an unruly citizen or at least be able to induce higher fines on them.
Just my opinion.

I had a similar problem with a squatter who set down his house when the city was still young.
He would change his house name to berate the city, guilds ect... Run vendors from his house against city policy, and was a general nuisance.
What I did was basically set a row of statues in front of his house. Not to block entry, but just to cover it up. Each statue was named in honor of this persons shortcomings

Given that a city's City Council approves under certian circumstances, is placing a stree light in front of the door of a house to temporarily (while the mayor is logged on) prevent exit / entry of the house in question and under the City Council approved circumstances a legitimate tactic for a city's Mayor to use?
Is it an exploit?
Should CSRs (given the limited usage desribed above) remove these street lights before consulting the mayor in question?
