MadMonster_What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
All Main ServersShort title for your suggestion:
Region BansWhat are you suggesting:
To add a flag that gives the ability for a town owner to ban specific users from a region.Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
This is currently somewhat possible with entry deny flags, providing you're willing to have all users who need access to your town, as owners. The entry deny flags are limiting in what they can do as you cannot allow an owner into a specific region as well as non-members whilst banning listed members.
This will easily allow town owners to ban specific users from their region without having to play around with entry deny flags for hours on end trying to get the inheritance correct. I believe this would be a good addition for not only things like plot towns where users are refusing to leave, but also for players trying to run events without specific people constantly insisting on going into restricted areas (for example, after completing a task).Other information:
N/APlugin or custom addition:
Custom I believe.One suggestion per form:

So twice in the past year, I have contacted World Guard and requested they do this, as it is a world guard built in functionality issue. World Guard has declined and stated there is already a built in way. What they mean to say though is, theres already a built in way for server owners. ie: Andrew would have to personally update the config every time you wanted a new user banned.
So the only way I can see this working, is if Andrew/ECC's Devs want to fork world guard and add in some command that directly effects that file. If he wants to try that, I've been wanting this shit forever. However, I wouldn't be surprised if its just too much work and time the devs should spending elsewhere.-

If this can be done, this would be a good add on, perhaps to one of the later versions of Town Control.
+1 if possible!-

+1 If the investment of dev time isn't large.
Maybe add a separate feat package for it and future WG addons? +++ is getting crowded.-

I think its a great idea, however I have tried suggesting this before https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/all-main-servers-suggestion-additional-deny-flag.203699/
the reason for denying was because using overlapped plots allows you to do this... make a plot onto of another plot and add a members entry deny flag. then every time you want to ban someone add them as a member to that plot, which will cause them to be locked out of the town.
another reason was because 1.16.3 was being worked on.
if this is possible though it would be very cool-

+1 this would help to prevent town harassment from members not in the town, maybe if it also included "chat ban" as an addition to being banned from entering the town if the user stands outside the town to harass people their local chat simply does not go through. (not sure if possible) - not a separate suggestion, suggesting it does both

MadMonster_ Retired GameAdminPresident ⛰️⛰️ Ex-EcoLegend ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Prestige ⭐ I ⭐ Premium UpgradeFrom my testing, and as mentioned in my original post, I don't believe this is strictly true. Adding a entry deny to the members group blocks access to owners of the parent region because they are naturally inherited as members of all subregions - the only way to get around this would be to add all the members of my parent region as owners and set a entry flag to allow owners (on the overlapping parent region).

@MadMonster_ I’m probably totally out of my depth here, but here’s my take:
Add an owners entry allow flag on a parent region, for obvious reasons
Then create two overlapping regions (the wg site says this is possible...), each with the town itself as their parent.
Add all of your “regular” members to one of the regions, as well as an explicit members entry allow flag.
Add all of your “banned” (or restricted) users to the second region, and all all of the g:members flags you want. Since the region is separate in the inheritance chain, this should work.
However, you must make sure that nonmembers have full rights to this region as well, to ensure that members of the first region can use it. (The flags on the first region will still restrict “real” nonmembers).
I probably made a mistake somewhere, but maybe try this?-
