I previously checked about this – hiding objects is one matter (which you can currently do in a hack-y sort of way via Client menu > Rendering > Hide Selected), but remembering all these "visually muted" objects is another. I'd imagine the database would grow quite rapidly.

Consolidation may be in order.

Excellent idea.

Will promote.

It's reprehensible in a shared world. It elevates to the point of absurdity the notion that tools can solve social problems, and further isolates people in a trend that is already leaning to sequestered high-security compounds.

There are enough tools already to mute, ban, turn draw distance down, an ignore that wipes out another's existence is very scary, as it completely obliterates even a skeletal notion of shared reality and sets the stage for the few to control the many.

The problem of ad farms has to be handled through means both inworld (boycotts, ban campaigns, etc.) and outworld (lawsuits for destruction of property value).

Sounds like a heavy strain on the dbase, an extra coding task, and not a priority when stability of what we can see, which is largely selected, is more at issue.
