Town issues and abandon houses

[darthduck84]

Hello everyone My name is darthduck84, and I have a bit of a issue that been a issue for new towns and old towns for a while now, and that is abandon homes, now most of you question now darthduck84 what do you mean abandon homes? well I mean homes that been left for beyond the limit the mayor sets, for example a town might say that a house that not been worked on for 4 months is abandon and will be taken down. But wait that is grieving, (cause it is not our build so we can't remove it or take it down) but the rules set for the town says it will be removed after x amount of time, so the server rules over rule the town rules fine. here is some ways I figured we can maybe compromise a little, a train of thought is this here.

Would it be ok to take all the stuff from the build and stuff inside the chest and put it into a chest and label the owner and the date and keep it some where safe like a town vault or something else like that where the stuff is safe until the player comes back and ask for it. so that why the mayor won't have to have incomplete houses in there town, and the players get to keep to there stuff and they lose nothing but time they used to build the home.

As it sits now, if you take down a home even if the person is banned or it been beyond the limit you can't do anything with there build so it sits acting as a eye sore, right now for example half of duckvillia houses as a example are homes from people who are not coming back cause they moved to a server that is not zedwork, and they won't even talk to me or ignore the subject of a home there, so there a ton of undone builds there that no one cares about, which only compounds the problems I am having, and I sure other towns are having to with zedwick and lady b having different time zones what I am suggestion is allowing mayors to use the right to box people homes, and toss everything into a chest and put it in a vault so it will be safe from other players and at the same time it gives the mayors a piece of mind that they won't be a lot of half done houses.

But besides my stuiped and pointless rants what do you all thing?

It is highly unlikely we would give players permission to decide for themselves if they are allowed to edit and dismantle another player's build. The opportunity for disastrous mistakes and intentional griefing under pretense is simply too great.

Having solid rules in place to dictate when a build can be modified by a town mayor will not allow for the server rules to be overriden outright, but will give the Guardians greater justification to rule in favour of the town mayor's request to have a build removed. So with that in mind, you can always ask a Guardian if you would like to remove a build. If you cannot catch us online, please feel free to send us a PM via the forums with the coords to the builds in question, along with any other information you may have about your town rules and the owner of the build.
