Who the hell drew on the map?

Is there a way to tell which player keeps drawing shit on the map?! It's super annoying...

There isn't a way through the user interface. By default, the lines are drawn in the color of the user that drew them, but that is configurable. With the API (a Mentor Level Perk), you can infer the information. Players are automatically given permission to control a drawing they create, and the API can be used to check who has permission for a path. If drawings constitute harassment, move them to the GM Layer and contact a moderator and we can see about escalating the issue to the devs.

Does anyone know how to move a player who is not logged in to a new map-page? If the problem is drawing between sessions, create a new blank mappage and put the players on that between sessions. If someone tells us how to move offline players, you can make one map for each player. Heck, copy a normal map to those pages and see who draws on the map :>

You can move offline players with the API, but not with the UI.

Is there a script already done for this? Or have I just added another item to your lengthy ToDo list? :>

More like just hit tangentially on one of my secret projects... =D

The Aaron said: More like just hit tangentially on one of my secret projects... =D The script that secretly controls all of reality in other words... On topic however, communication can solve this problem. Tell your players that you would prefer them not to draw on the map, if they have basic levels of respect they won't (some doodling can be fun but excessive is just plain rude) and if they continue to... then they don't deserve you or your campaign >:)

Thanks for you replies guys. Well, once they change their color, no one can tell who did it. And the words, respect and internet don't fit well together. People WILL abuse anonymity on the internet, it has always been that way. And some people seem to have to express themselves with drawling a dick or a Hitler mustache. I give you guys an example: Person B: "I've nothing to do right now but need attention, so I'm drawing a dick!" Me : "Who the fuck did this?" Group : Silence and a some giggling. Until person B or another player, blames the drawing on person A. Person A: Who get's the blaming for persons B immaturity, is getting fucking pissed, he also can't delete the drawing. The story goes on and on but i think you get the point. So please find a way to avoid this. I've came up with a few ideas myself, because this really bothers me. (I made sample pictures for each idea, to make it as clear as possible. Please excuse my paint "skills".) Either: A) Give the GM the option to allocate one color to each player. Each player can only use this specific color. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/P16KEPy.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/P16KEPy.png</a> B) Make it so that, the drawing shows the name of the person who did it when you mouse over it. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/pyCqdb2.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/pyCqdb2.png</a> (i cant draw but its the best i could do...sorry) C) An option to restrict the drawing tool to GMs only. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/zF18BeI.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/zF18BeI.png</a> What do you think about this?

This is a topic that has come up before. There are these suggestions on the Suggestions & Ideas Forum already: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1241923/allow-mo" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1241923/allow-mo</a>... <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1242536/slug%7D#" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1242536/slug%7D#</a>... Hopefully, this is something the devs will implement in the future.

Nice job on those mock-up graphics of what it cold be, Chris. Please add your comments and those graphics to one of the Suggestion threads Aaron linked.

Since i'm not a native english speaker, i thought it would be a good idea to visualize my ideas. I wish i could post this, but i dont have any votes =/ "You can only post comments in this forum category if you are eligible to vote." So it is up to someone else to post it.

Done: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1241923/#post-18" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1241923/#post-18</a>...

Ok, noted. You will get 1 vote after you have been on Roll20 for 1 year (or if you subscribe). As I recognize that the mock-up graphics help people to visualize a Suggestion idea, I will quote your post and add it to one of the Suggestion threads. Aaron did it!

I gues we are done here :), Thank you for your time and for posting my idea, Lets hope the Devs can make some use out of that. Have a nice day and may your rolls be good :)

Cheers!
