There is a lot of plywood junk accumulating in Neufreistadt. It has been proposed to give each offender a sarcastic note and a giveaway.
The problem with that is the offender would recognize the sarcasm but would have no whey of knowing how seriously we regarded his actions.
Part of the reason that no one properly scolds the offenders is that Banning is a one size fits all sledgehammer. Our marshals understandably don't ban someone just because they rezed a piece of plywood. They are even understandably reluctant ban someone over an abandoned vehicle so usually they do nothing. Unfortunately there isn’t any in-between punishments supported by LL. I'd like to float the idea of authorizing our marshals to give out misdemeanor tickets backed up by short bans that would be appealable. Specifically 3 classes of misdemeanors.
Class C Misdemeanor Littering would be for rezing and abandoning a single prim and would be banning for a 1day + (1-3 days undetermined to allow marshals time to process paperwork and un ban ) from the time the litter is cleaned up or a 100L fine (basically a slap on the wrist )
Class B Misdemeanor Littering would be for 2 to 30 prims and involve a weeks ban plus 1-3 days or a 1,000L fine.
Class A Misdemeanor Littering would be for more than 30 prims, Repeat Class C Misdemeanors, unauthorized venders, donation boxes or scripts possibly dangerous to sim. and involve a months plus 1-3 days ban or a 10,000L fine. We should also give marshals a lot of flexibility of which type of ticket to write.
Such a system would require each Marshal or person acting as Marshal to keep a record of who they banned, when they were banned, how long they are suppose to be banned, what for, and any agravatigating or mitigating circumstances. They would have to check it regularly to see who needs unbanning. When updated they would have to send a copy to the Head marshal (Probably the Chancellor) who would have to consolidate all the list (cut & paste) and send out updated copy of the consolidated list. The head marshal could then place an updated no mod copy in the Ratheus for the public. Such would be a lot of work for our officials (at least in the short run in the long run habit & premade tickets would be fast ) but would give us a lot of extra flexibility when dealing with less serous cases. Plus if we make our [u:132c937q] Island and/or CDS ban list with dates & reasons[/u:132c937q] public other landowner and estate managers will adopt it or preferably portions of it giving our bans more teeth.
