Okay, so with the recent spamming of people sending teleport requests it has come to my attention that we could use an editing of our teleport system. After some rumination on how this could be fixed and consulting with some fellow players here are the two ideas we have come up with.
1) To accept teleport requests, instead of hitting accept you could type accept. For example,
/accept LittleOwlet3
If you want to decline a request you simply ignore it or alternatively type
/decline LittleOwlet3
2)This one might be a bit more complicated. Each player would have their own list of people that can send them teleport requests using the system we have now. To add or delete people from the list you might have something like
/add LittleOwlet3 friend list or
/remove LittleOwlet3 friend list
This would cut back significantly on random teleport requests however could pose a problem for grief/raid players who spend most of their time trying to teleport to new players on the server.
The reason for considering a change like this is really quite simple. It is too easy to hit accept by mistake if you are reading chat or are about to click the vote link when someone sends you a random teleport request and chat scrolls down. The last few days there has been a team of guys just sending requests back to back and it has happened several times before.
I know we all love playing on this server and that Crafty does a fantastic job with all the work he has put into the server so thank you for taking the time to read this and consider these changes. If anyone else has some other ideas I would love to see them posted in the comments :D
