[House Key Sharing] Ideas : Permissions|Logbook|AreYouSureYouWantToHackIntoThisHouse

(okay, TS totally read my mind on the new update... >.>)
Seriously.

Anyways, here's a bit more on my idea:
Level of Key
Different keys for permissions.
In the keyring, there should be a new column on the left before the picture of the person's head. It would be a picture of keys, exactly like the one on the keyring.
Basically, there are 5 features that we need to regulate and so a key for each:
-General House Access
-Garden
-Cabinet (that's the big problem for me at the moment)
-Animal Commandry (if you can release them or not)
-Icon Picking Up

We would get a key for each of these. Though on the current art we only have 4 keys. Maybe the keyring could be the General Access key?

How To Do This Artwise:
Just write in tiny letters on the key (art) the stuff they correspond to.
We would also need a key for General Access to the house.

You could click on the key icon for more info on what permissions you have.
When you assign keys, you can choose which keys (permissions) each person could have. You can easily change permissions.

THE ULTIMATE KEY

If you really are lazy or just don't come on much, you could give your ownership (sorta) to a preson. They would have a skeleton key. (only big new art)

This skeleton key entitles them to all the permissions stated above. They would also be able to contol other people's permissions for your house (so very big trust!!). This can easily be viewed from the Your House tab and just putting an arrow key on the right side of your House picture. You could scroll through the number of houses you rule over, and do stuff to them.

Logbook
An idea from a friend.
A logbook! A new tab beside Your House, Keys from friends.
Basically, a list of the last week/100visits/whatever happenings. It would be simple, like:
Palindrome entered your house at 11:08 a.m. on November. 21st and exited on 11:09 on November 23rd. Or if that's too long, just three columns: Person, Enter Time, Exit Time.

If possible, a list of what they did (by clicking on the name for more info) like what they picked up etc. Though that might be hard to do. I've seen other ideas of a video camera, and that would be cool.

Are you sure?
Basically, when you click on a normal house, you have the option of knocking or walking away.
If you have the key and you press, you automatically enter.
This can be scary. I was on the block and I saw a friend entering... Also, if you accidentally click... or if you just want to see if the person is online and don't want to enter... or you just want to view the owner of the house in case...

Please a menu.
And also the option to knock even if you have a key for politeness.

You seem the have a key to this house!
Enter          Knock
Walk Away

SUMMARY
Logbook, a new tab, three columns in it.
Menu when clicking on house.
Different level keys, this will require skeleton key art, changing the current key art a bit with tiny words, a new column before the person picture.
Putting tabs to scroll through the keys you 'skeleton' own.

  • I would agree with most of that- the only sticking point to me is whether or not people can pick up items on the floor *period*. I'd say it'd be more useful if, perhaps, lower permissions could pick up items in all but certain rooms (designated by the owner)- that'd avoid issues with Icons too, provided they're in places off-limits to "renters". Because I figure if you're sharing a house, at some point somebody's gonna want to drop something, rearrange bags, etc, but if they can't pick things up or store anything of their own on the ground, sharing a house is gonna be a lot less useful.

  • Great idea Palindrome - this kind of ties in with my idea for organizing friends within Glitch.  i.e. the ability to categorize your friends.   http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/11026/#reply-117893

  • I like the idea of a storage chamber--like an attack that we could keep things.

  • I especially like the option to CHOOSE to knock if you accidentally click on a house while chasing free-range animals on a residential street. As it is, you don't have to click directly on someone's door, just anywhere on their home and it knocks and (possibly) annoys the home owner. A menu popping up asking if you REALLY want to knock would be grand. 

    Also, sorry to anyone if I accidentally knocked on your house in the past. I didn't want in. I was trying to corner a pig or butterfly or chicken. :)
