[sldev] Late night thoughts on ways to prevent griefing

[malachi at tamzap.com]

well i understand as i said its a bit silly. just think that if people were 
forced to age and payment verify that it would limit the number of people 
creating new scripts. and for Thomas i wasnt imply a charge per edited 
script only new scripts.;) like i said its silly just thought it would be a 
way to prevent alot of griefers that log in and copy paste from a wiki 
somewhere into a script and then you have hundreds of self replicating prims 
running around.
