Hi everyone! Quick suggestion here.

Iโ€™m proposing that after the administration team has decided to permanently ban a user, after a time period of say, 3-6 months, the entire contents of that account will be wiped.

Not given to the community, Not Given to the Tree, Not Auctioned or Raffled off- WIPED

My reasoning for this is simply server space and economics.
If theoretically, an account is banned that has 300+ Buffalo scrotums (which is reasonable in some cases), those 300+ Buffalo scrotums will show up in the โ€œ# of items in gameโ€ and can effect the price of the item overall.

For Buffalo scrotums thereโ€™s always a surplus, but for items that are incredibly rare, such as Solaris and Interstellar applicators, every single item in game plays into the worth of the item. If items are on a permanently banned account, those items are never going to play a part in the economy again, and should be removed.

This also constitutes server space; the game should not have to hold onto thousands of lions and hundreds of thousands of items on accounts where the players wonโ€™t be returning.

TLDR; Wipe permabanned accounts after a period of time so the rest of the site can have more server space and remove dead items, currency, and lions from the economy



This suggestion has 614 supports and 31 NO supports.

Oh very much agreed, there's enough drama with the site that one more person trying to be salty would just be a drop in the bucket at this point, and as you said most would agree with the action

I would support not retributing items and stuff because it is kinda scummy

Which is basically what we all are supporting - wiping them and not redistributing, to help with the server space and the economy of the site.

Sorry it took me so long to respond.
If lions went to deceased status, I'd be a-ok with that! Wipe made it sound like they were entirely gutted from the database like the items would be. :D

Full support. :3

Yhar -
If you think about it, technically any lion who is foddered (whether killed, nature preserved, given to the gorillas, etc) is wiped. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's one of the ways Lioden deals with server load. So wiping accounts should just be like one big fodder fest ๐Ÿ˜„

My willingness to support implementing this is limited to lions being moved to deceased status. Lions being chased and sent to gorillas completely removes them from the system (unless added to chased pool) and also from lineages. Death leaves their name in heritage.

I will re-iterate that I only am in full support if it moves them to deceased status, because heritages matter to me. So, no, I do not believe it should be 'one big fodder fest'.

the name an still remain, but if a lion is deceased and you click on that name, it doesnt lead to a lion. That is my understanding of it.

Exactly what Corrupted said -
I suppose enclave was probably a bit of a bad addition to that, since the cubs have no offspring. But yeah, it would be like if I killed one of my lionesses. If I clicked on her cub, her name would still be in the right slot, and visible on the heritage. Cubs/adopt/lions without young don't save anyways, would be weird to add it in just to archive when it would require changing the entire heritage system.

Thank you for the clarification. I really like this idea, especially since I've been campaigning to get items from inactive accounts removed from branch listings, and this would compliment it well if banned account items remain on branches. It's my hope that with the sweep of QoL suggestions being implemented lately, the site's general health will improve, and this can only benefit the site, TBH.

Assets will never be re-distributed, just so people know, so it's pointless to ask for that here. Lioden doesn't do that and never has. It's not even about coming down to the 'drama' that would come from it. It's simply because even if those users are banned from the game, it's still *theirs* and something *they* earned. I can't think of a single game that re-distributes assets.

Yharnam -
ChickenSmoothie redistributes assets via Lost&Found/Pound, but its such a different setup that its not at all comparable to Lioden. But I mean, I guess it does exist, technically.

I simply think it would be far to easy for everyone if item were redistributed. It would seriously negatively affect the market, no matter how it is done. I mean look at the recent huge giveaway someone did with the tree. A bunch of good apps were gotten for free and the market for them has taken a decent hit (not huge but defiantly noticeable). There are just too many things that can and liekly will go wrong if that is the case. And personally I just think this will increase beggers which are one of my biggest per peeves. Its just not worth it.

Hi!

We ask that players avoid discussing, or alluding to, salt blogs as we do not permit these types of discussions on our site.

Thank you!

Deceased status would be good because at least then when doing a lion search, you can filter them out from your search results.

I really support the ORIGINAL post. Permabanned accounts, that have already been appealed and rejected, after a year of inactivity, should absolutely be wiped.

I strongly, strongly disagree with several of the COMMENTS on this post, howeverโ€ฆ I was so happy that both of my accounts were still here after 5 years of inactivity. Inactivity /=/ permanently banned with a failed appeal, and we shouldnโ€™t be treating them as the same, in my opinion.
