One of my towns, Southcaster, has been under a deny use flag for a long time, because I have a bunch of players who like keeping horses. They know it's at their own risk, but they like it. The use flag seemed to limit horse murder to other town residents -- at least, my understanding of the use flag is that it prevents among other things interaction between town non-members and passive mobs. One of those players, @Israellawson, has just reported to me that another player, @TimmyChoi, killed all of his horses right in front of him, and he's a little upset. According to "rg i southcaster" the deny flag is still there. I understand that this is not necessarily a violation of any rules by @TimmyChoi, but isn't the use flag supposed to prevent that sort of thing?
You know, I don't think that it would take too much analysis to realize that this thread isn't about you, since this isn't a user complaint -- although I would appreciate better behavior in my town. I'm just wondering about the flag.
2 horses in PivilleRome have died to hits as well...and envorinment protection for horses doesn't work anymore, too.
It seems like the use flag is not functioning as it once did... again, I will look into it and see what has changed but I cannot promise that it will be able to be fixed as it may be something that the developer of worldguard has changed for a reason.
