The Problem

For quite some time now I've dealt with bugs, limitations and exploits with server/viewer/scripted prim return in my sandboxes such as:

Failed prim returns cause prims to temporarily(120 seconds) or permanently not show on the prim owner's list until selected. (SVC-7788)
Trying to return an object or objects with more than 1000 total scripts fails by autoreturn, viewer or script. (Unfiled)
Trying to return more than 4096 objects fails by autoreturn, viewer or script. (Unfiled)
Failed prim returns by script still charge the object counts against the hourly allowance for the land owner. (Unfiled)

The Solution

I propose the following option for parcel owners:

Parcels should have the option for land owners to turn on/off a mode that many Linden sandboxes have where only no-copy objects are autoreturned and anything else is deleted.
This option would appear in the About Land floater on the Objects tab.

Benefits

Objects can be removed without failure, without impacting asset servers and without penalty to hourly allowances.
Mass object counts can be removed without failure, without impacting asset servers and without penalty to hourly allowances.
Land owners will be able to setup their parcels for high rate of removal environments such as with combat/game parcels.

This should be a parcel setting, not region or estate so Mainland will benefit from this.

Additional Info

Additionally, the following script functions could also be considered:

llDeleteObjectsByID() & llDeleteObjectsByOwner() which will either use the same protocols as with PERMISSION_RETURN_OBJECTS or use a new permission, PERMISSION_DELETE_OBJECTS.
These functions would return no-copy objects and delete anything else.

These functions would only work in environments where the parcel(s) have been setup to delete objects instead of return them.

A llGetParcelDetails() constant that recognizes the mode of return on the parcel would be helpful as well.

Also see https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-3854 for more parcel settings that can help land owner's proactively field fair resource use and protect their land.

Comments welcome. Thanks in advance for any consideration.
