 Description  « Hide
Place checks in place to ensure that the user has the sufficient rights to teleport to his/her 'Home Location' before the teleport occurs (much like the way checks are made for private non all-access regions).

Ideally the workflow should be something like this:

Request or Ejected to 'Home Location'> Check if user is CURRENT 'Home Location' Owner or part of group that owns the requested parcel> Teleport

If not, he/she should either receive a teleport fail message due to insufficient rights (which gives things like re-birthing and security orbs a whole lot of new issues to deal with) or be teleported to the nearest/generic Infohub. Preferably a notice should also be given to 'bug' the user to change to a new Home Location as the previous one is invalid.

In contrast with the previous wording of the issue, I believe this better addresses the problem of legacy 'Home Location' settings that might be of inconvenience to current land owners. The below justification is from the original issue and should still apply.

Justification:

Home Location exclusivity is currently only reserved for the Parcel Owner alone, and thus previous owner(s) should not be allowed to use a previously set Home Location to bypass landing point landmark settings. This is particularly annoying as it becomes a privacy issue especially if the transgressor (previous owner) is prone to inaction despite repeated attempts and request for manual change of Home Location.

A Land Ban might be inappropriate as the previous owner should still be allowed the rights to cross the parcel as per normal avatars are (such as in flyby situations). It is the sudden and insensitive teleports back to what is no longer their home that should be addressed as it is in ways a bug and contradictory to the ideas behind the rest of the home settings. Moreover, Ban Lines are not appreciated in many areas and Security Orbs that require set warning delays or 'pushing' only are ineffective as the sudden intrusion has already occurred and might be in the heart of the parcel (not just the edges coming in).

It's funny, too, if a security 'orb' sends the 'transgressor' by llTeleportAgentHome back home. Voted.

A good idea, but I wouldn't make it automatic; rather there should be a way for the new owner to do it. Say a group owns a parcel and allows members to set Home there. One day they decide to re-organize with a new group name. They sell the parcel to the new group, and all the members' Home settings are wiped.

Updated on 7 Jan 09 after suggestions by Siann Beck

Instead of a purge system built-in as tools for the current owner as suggested, I propose that an easier implementation would be to check permissions before actual teleport. In any case, both means would address the issue of transfer of ownership between groups or change of groups without messing with everyone's Home settings.

The way this should be implement should work even when all current users are migrated to a new group that still owns the land as the check only occurs when they initiate the teleport- as long as they are part of the group that owns the land at the moment, the 'Home Location' teleport should not fail.

Prior to 7 Jan 09 the Issue was described as below:
Summary: [Automatically force reset of Home Location on sale of 'Home Location' parcel]
On sale of Home Parcel (parcel with which your home location is set to), force the reset of Home Location to an InfoHub.
