Marking players as an antihack/antigrief.

Got a great new idea for the game?

Marking players as an antihack/antigrief.

Please dont lock the because we have a global ban list. This is completly different than what the other guy posted at viewtopic.php?f=63&t=14464 (which was locked for that reason)

General structure: Maybe the devs, or even the forum staff, should assign people as trusted players who have the ability to mark other players as griefers and hackers. this marking system should work between servers. meaning who ever becomes marked will be marked on other servers as well. other trusted players cold also mark and unmark people. of course, trusted players should not just un mark people because they arent displaying any current reason to be marked. the marked person could easily just put on an act, so they really shouldnt be un marked unless the trusted person knows them well.

More in depth: These marks should do small things like disableling them from building/killing/chating while they are still on the server in the session they were marked in, meaning that if they left and came back, they would still be marked, just have their abilities back. then maybe another command/action could let the trusted person disable their abilities and keep them marked.

Balancing and further structuring: To keep this system from being trusted-player reliant (like how global ban list is admin reliant) and still balanced, only trusted players, admins, and mods would be able to see what ever it is that declares someone as marked, like a symbol or something. that way the next thing i will say will work w/out people being able to take advantage of it. when a player is being votekicked for the same reason they are marked (but people wont be able to know they are marked in the first place), and the votekick recieves at least 1/4 the server votes (5/8 if its full enough), it will resume the mark punishment (no building/killing/chating etc.). People who can see the mark should not tell people that cant see the mark who is marked, that defeats the balance of the votekick interacting with the mark.

This would act as both an extension of usefullness of a votekick and an attention caller to known problem causers twords admins, mods, and trusted players. Maybe even a beta test of this should be released to make sure that it will work correctly, because the last thing we would want would be for another thing in the game to back fire and be stuck with it for months and months.
