The "its extremely abusive" argument is terribly invalid.

[Sheath]

I thought it might be nice to discuss this..

All the time, I see good ideas or addons ignored because of the logic "it is extremely abusive". I think we need to seriously reconsider this logic, but its just bogus. Here are some points...

• If its easily abusive, there is no reason we can't let the user toggle whether the feature is for admins only-- if you have an abusive admin, your server will be trashed anyhow
• Everything is abusive in Blockland, the very eventing system can be abused in so many creative ways
• People who chose to abuse players are not going to stop because you don't let them access a certain feature. They'll do everything they can to invent new ways to abuse players, and there always will be a way
• We have moderation on our servers, if someone does abuse something you give them the boot
• If abuse becomes a problem, you simple remove the addon. You shouldn't make the decision for me, if I want a perfectly good addon I should be able to have it. Restricting it over a hypothetical is foolish.

I'm interested to hear others views.

In example, if you can abuse a computer, it's not the computer, it's you.

I agree. Guns are abusive in real life, but people don't freak out about selling them.

If a person goes out in public, there's a chance they'll kill someone.
Don't let anyone leave their homes.
