What I want to see is something along the lines of an IDV and a means for a resident to block content from those lacking verification or from specific people. It's your content, you have the right to choose who gets to see it. Advantage here is that we only have to worry about the kids-kids (as in kiddies to pre-teens).
Now how blocked content will appear is ... not appearing. The land will still be there, all the banned/blocked person will see is empty space (keeps the world contiguous and pretty).
Two approaches to movement:
1. Blocked person cannot enter region at all. This will be annoying to people just passing through therefore...
2. Blocked person can still enter "region" but will become invisible to others when he does (his data gets transmitted to no region) so that no communication or server load is generated. He however will still see himself moving in the empty space (completely generated client-side). Advantage here is that there's no annoying ban "lines."
