No moderations and self-care only, complains, solution? [discussion]
Hi, many of us here, who are active in the game, are aware how dire times has come, with no moderations, lots of bots and multiaccounts not being moderated. All what's matters now, is how many multiaccounts we manage to get with ez to use bots, and no fear of any punishement. Thru other threads here, lots of talk all around, we getting thoughts, mods may be simply tired of the job?
Here is my idea of some small solution, that may help a little: To add defender zones.
The game checks previous owner of pixel, from before grief, and make it easier to defend, repaint back.
Since moderation have tools to rewert griefes, we know, the game have history stored, includes info of what acocunt did paint there. Lets use that data while painting some hot regions - let game check, if there was our pixel in last few days on the spot, then repainting it back would give some paint ammo back (just like flags do).
Only having an art for some time, like a week or so already could count. If that wouldn't be too hard, power of getting paint back could depend on how old the art is (like 10% back extra for week old art, up to 80%? on 6 months old).
For players who are still in the game, that would allow them to defend and still paint something around, instead now, we are blocked in constant unending cycle of repairing after daily grief.
If some art was made by alliance, game could check if prebious art was done by someone in alliance too.
Many abandoned arts, mostly in crowded areas could also be freed for new painters, being recognized as empty areas.
To de-stress server calculations, this could affect some area only after grief-reports done? if that would be a problem at all.
It wouldn't be perfect system I'm aware that, it could be used to abuse numbers, like grief self from multi to boost "main" account, but that would add some free levels at most, way less impactful than unending grief.
Only hope, devs are still around and have some ambitions left, to make this happen and/or it wouldnt be too hard to code.
Thx for reading.
