I am not sure where this idea came from, but they are not public streets, and were not meant to be public streets.
My street says very plainly "Innie's home street, owned by Innie". I can kick anyone from my street. The ability to ban from our streets was intended, but is buggy right now. Stoot and Bees! have even admitted as such.
Please quit saying "They are PUBLIC streets!" when clearly they are not and were never meant to be truly public. Not to mention, this is beta. Just because people are asking more controls over the streets they own, does not make them whiners, complainers, etc. It means they are being beta players that are expressing something they think should be added, changed, or at least thought about.
Since there are so many topics on this...one more wont hurt. LOL
