| Action description |
To prevent accidentally deleting someone's zone and causing conflicting OLC
access I have made the following guide. If someone does not login to the mud
for over 6 months, and does not mudmail an implementor to let them know of a
delayed absence their zone can be deleted. I use show areas to list all zones
and then go through one by one using "last <playername>". If they have not
logged in for over 6 months I then "stat file <playername>" and check that they
have the proper OLC set, and that they do not have the NO_DEL flag. Anyone with
an excused absence MUST have the NO_DEL flag set so we will not delete their
zone. If they have not been on for 6 month2 and are not excused I then "show
zone #" to doublecheck the zone and builder assigned. I then check if they made
anything of value that should be saved. Once you are sure it is safe to delete
their zone and all their work set their OLC to -1. "stat file <playername>" to
be sure it worked and then feel free to delete away. |
