[Suggestion] Founders can't be affected by Border Control

Postby Grishahakkaverchynot » Sun May 01, 2022 5:38 pm

(Anytime I mention Founders here, I'm referring to executive founders.)
Typically when banning Founders you get a warning that they can unban themselves.
This should change. RO's and Delegates with Border Control and enough influence to eject or ban the Founder should not be allowed to ban the Founder.
Founders should also be able to bypass regional password locks. (Password-locked regions where the Founder is absent, when the Founder comes in, don't prompt, allow them in.) This could make R/D less capable of destruction, though. Founders have access to the regional admin panel from outside anyway.

To my understanding, if you're an executive founder, you can remove the password whilst outside the region anyway?

Seems like a pretty pointless change. To Founders, Border Control is already just so much plastic wrap and Scotch tape. Why would admin spend time on exempting them from it entirely, for no apparent benefit?
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

Regions have been destroyed even with an active founder, fwiw. This region was apparently destroyed even with a non-executive founder by officers with Border Control.

That said, if a founder was so asleep at the wheel that they let it happen, I'd have a hard time feeling sorry for them. It's very easy to prevent stuff like that.

I don't think it's necessary to exempt Founders from being banned or ejected. Founders can unban themselves anyway.

Moreover, as for regions being destroyed and refounded, it's really a part of the game.

Correct. An executive founder can always control their region.

Against. I enjoy banning myself frequently.

They can. Any time and anywhere, if you're an executive founder, you can remove the password from your region. You can also install a new one, should you choose, for free!

Alright, maybe the password part of Border Control immunity isn't so implementable because they have access to the regional admin panel of the region from outside... I've edited the OP.

Correct. An executive founder can always control their region.

Except that if they're outside the region then the Delegate automatically has 'executive' authority even if the Founder had previously switched that power off... and the Founder can't switch it off from outside.

But the founder can switch the password off, come back in and make the Delegate non-executive.

Yes, but then if they move out again the Delegate regains executive power.

Someone in the region needs executive authority. If the founder does not want the delegate to have executive authority they should stay in the region.

This is true. They still retain full control of the region, even if outside of it though, so the whole idea itself is moot.
