Jean Zee's Group-Oriented, Polite Parcel Orb
version 1 (2022-01-22)

OVERVIEW
========

Q1. WHAT DOES IT DO?

A1. It has 2 modes.

When there's at least one person from your group on the parcel,
the orb kicks anyone who isn't in the group.

Otherwise, nobody from your group is on the parcel, so the orb quietly
allows anyone.

---

Q2. WHY DO THAT?

A2. If a tree falls but no one is around, why do you care if it made a
sound?

It makes sense that a group wants to reserve their parcel for their
private use.  However, when there's nobody on the parcel, it sure
would be nice if anyone can pass through it.  To me, seems that if
nobody from the group is there, it shouldn't hurt anything if someone
else passes through.  So this land orb detects those situations & does
the right thing for you.

You might also want to read the "02_use_cases" notecard.

Q3. HOW DOES THE ORB KICK PEOPLE?

A3. It always adds the kicked person to the parcel's ban list.  It can
also call llEjectFromLand(...).

You tell it whether to call llEjectFromLand(...) in the Config file.
By default, it does call llEjectFromLand(...).

---

Q4. WHY CALL llEjectFromLand(...), but why is it optional?

When we add a person to the parcel's ban list, they won't be pushed
off the parcel until about 15 seconds later.  llEjectFromLand(...)
bumps them from the parcel immediately.  That's why you might want the
orb to call llEjectFromLand(...).

However, llEjectFromLand(...) doesn't give the person any warning.
You might want to give them a warning so they can skiddoo without
being bumped.  That's why you would NOT want the orb to call
llEjectFromLand(...).

Remember that the orb always adds the person to the parcel's ban list.

---

Q5. WHY DOES IT CALL llEjectFromLand(...) INSTEAD OF llTeleportAgentHome(...)?

A5. Teleporting someone home just to get them off your parcel is
unnecessarily heavy-handed.  It can also interrupt their travels.
Simply ejecting them from your land is sufficient & though it knocks
them off their travel path, it doesn't make them lose their place.

I wish other land orbs used llEjectFromLand(...) instead of
teleporting people home.

Q6. WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

A6. Second Life Marketplace (as of 2022 January 22, that should happen
soon).
