This idea is originally Planephanatics, however his thread was rejected due to no poll.

I know this is probably going to be faced with criticism, but I'll still try. I've been with the server for a while now, and remember back in early 3.0 when the area around spawn was public. The area would be frequently griefed, but the community would always come together as a group and fix it. Now that that's gone, the sense of community is not what it used to be. This would also be great for cities, as it would allow them to make public tree farms, wheat farms, or even plain old creations, allowing the collaboration of countless others without the need to add them to the realm. This would present the problem of griefing, and the mod/admin's jobs don't need to be made any more difficult, so I'd also like to suggest that griefing in these realms is not able to be rolled back. This would allow groups of players to come together and fix it together, rather than having it simply roll back. Due to there being no need for rollbacks, Intelli would be able to disable block logging for these specific realms which may reduce a bit of the load on the server. Well that's about it. Feel free to post comments and such, but please, no arguments on this thread.

Edit: Perhaps rollbacks for only large griefing. There's no point in adding a feature that only makes the jobs of staff more difficult.
TL;DR: Make it possible for players to toggle their realms so that they are either open or closed to the public. 'Closed' means the realm's owner decides who builds in that realm. In short, this harms no one's ability to play.

Sure, why not? I personally have no desire to make my realms usable to the public, but if others want to work on collaborative projects with anyone who stops by, that would be a nice option to have.

I could have sworn this was supposed to have been implemented awhile ago but for some reason never was? (No time to dig through old posts now). Its supposed to facilitate things like public farms and such, yes? So the realm doesn't get bought out from under someone but is still usable by all.
