thanks

why?
actually
that would be "the default state of a user"
as the avatar itself has no "rights" attached to it
but rather the user does
my orig thinking was that the default should be
an ordinary "citizen"
tell me more please
about your thinking on this

so you mean
we should associate user-powers with WRLs??
my orig idea was that
each VNet2 server might support multiple linked WRLs
(like the "rooms" in a text-based MUD)
and maybe adding a "teleport" node
but that each user in a VNet2 DB
would have only one user-power level
for all the WRLs controlled by that server...
tell me more about why you would associate user-powers
with a particular WRL please...

this functionality is already present within the Anchor node...
go to the Town Square at ariadne [single- or multi-user]
and try clicking on one of the books in the Library

I *hope* to have it done by then...
;^}
please do respond and keep the dialog going...
these are very useful things to talk through
and thanks again
