I'm reading through today's posts on this topic over at MOUL (some of which are treating the thread as though it were a wish-list for stuff they've always wanted to change about the KI, the hoods, the chat function, etc. ... we really need to think about a better way for people to request features somehow, without the discussion going all over the place) and a couple of people have said that it would be good to have some way of knowing if an invisible avatar (/ignorer or /ignored) is present in an Age with you; the thought that someone could turn the tables on you and then hang around invisibly in your hood or in one of your private Ages without you being able to tell if they'd finally left is kind of creepy.
At the moment, I can see the generic location of an /ignored avatar in the Ignore List, but "so-and-so is online and exploring in the Hood Age" doesn't tell me whether he's in my hood with me or in someone else's. Is there a (simple) technical solution to this (like e.g. allowing invisible avatars to remain in the Age Player list at the left)?
A second question. Say we get this into the client: is it reversible? As in, if people think after a six month trial period, it really sucks, we could take it out again without too much hassle and revert back to the way things are at the moment?
