This idea is being proposed to prevent large scale theft of shared foodpiles in places such as Ajaya Bliss.
We have a great group of people who love to mine and who donate freely to the food pile in order to help other miners keep their energy up, however more and more frequently selfish Glitches enter the cave, scoop up all the food, and promptly disappear.
I won't name names, or point fingers, but there are a few Glitches in particular that seem to get a kick out of thieving from the community and have no remorse whatsoever.
So I would like to propose a quota system for places that have shared food piles, such as Ajaya. The principle is simple: You have to maintain a positive share ratio in order to pick up food. In other words, you have to donate to the pile in order to pick anything up. The more you donate, the more you can pick up in times of emergency. The point here is to keep the pile alive and prevent it from disappearing in the wink on an eye.
tl;dr Minimize griefing! Let us enforce a "Take some, leave some" approach instead of allowing Bad Glitches to get away with the "Take it ALL" approach.
