Also, block logs are needed very much, without them Minerealm would explode!!! Okay more like get griefed and not rolled back and things wouldn't sinc.
The suggestion was to get rid of ONLY the block logs in private realms. Since the realm owner has control over who is allowed to build there, it should be easy to prevent griefing in private realms. The public realm block logs would be unaffected. However, Intelli basically said that this idea wouldn't help with the lag, since block logs are not a significant factor in lag levels.
Yes, but if some people did get in a realm with block logs turned off it could be griefed pretty bad and not rolled back. Also wouldn't it make it so you could not sinc new block placements to other channels?
Not sure about the channel syncing issue, maybe the block logs are necessary for that. Good point. As for the griefing not being able to be rolled back, I think the idea is that the realm owner takes responsibility for preventing griefing rather than relying on staff to fix things. But, again, the point is moot, since the suggestion wouldn't serve its intended purpose of stopping lag.

If block logs were disabled in realm, you could xray in-realm without getting caught, so I doubt they will ever be disabled for any reason because of this.
Another good point. I think we can consider this idea as being well and thoroughly dead now.
The Greymarch has ended.
