  • Added a new group ability, “Manage ban list”
    • By default, only the Owners role has this ability
    • Roles which are granted this ability are also granted the “Eject Members from this Group” and “Remove Members from Roles” abilities
  • Added ability to ban users from groups
    • Group members with the “Manage ban list” ability will be able to add or remove other users to and from the group ban list
    • A user who is banned from a group cannot join it either directly or through an invitation
    • When a group member is banned from the group, they are automatically ejected
    • Group Owners cannot be banned
    • The ban list for a group can store a maximum of 500 entries
• Usage notes
  • Use the GroupBan project viewer for the following operations:
    • Managing the “Manage ban list” ability for various group roles
    • Viewing the group ban list
    • Adding or removing avatars from the group ban list
  • Prior the group ban project's deployment to all server channels, group bans will only be enforced by simulators which support the feature.
    • For example, when group ban is only supported on LeTigre RC and Second Life Server channels, a user who was banned from a group may still be able to join a group while in a region on the ‘Second Life RC Magnum’ channel
  • When a user is banned from a group, their viewer version does not matter; they will be unable to join the group while in a simulator that supports group ban.
  • Other details about using the group ban feature can be found here.
