Alright, so I don't entirely know how to phrase or write this, and its very hard to write this without continually getting pissed off (a norm when differing opinions clash) and its rendering me unable to fully write out a response I would feel content with than I would otherwise, however, I will attempt to write this despite that obstacle.
First, as it has to be said when it comes to these things, I, at least as I currently stand, I am not an extremely avid participant on Buildbox though I have been trying to get back into the server as of late, and because of this standpoint, I am not entirely well versed in the workings and just many of the general commands that are apart of the server as a whole.
Despite this however, an opinion is an opinion, and as this idea generally affects everybody on the server, every opinion matters no matter the inexperience on the server.
Now, before I get into my post, let me say that due to my inexperience in commands, I do not entirely know what this "/tptoggle" is, however, I am generally assuming it is merely a command that lets the user allow or disallow any Teleporting to them until retoggled.
If so, then I am totally on board with that idea/plan, and give my support to it, as it would actually be a fantastic addition to the server. As what Sephhh said, it gives power to the individual, unlike the general idea of the original post...
...which I actually kind of abhor to a degree.
Let me say that I---
I would most likely place myself in the grouping of people who... I guess really don't care if a player wants to teleport to me or not: it just doesn't bother me, and from my perspective, I don't understand why such a system (in the original post) would be put into place just for that reason, though I can understand the idea of wanting some privacy.
Ever since it was put into place, I've never had a huge attachment to the Call/Bring system on Buildbox, and on a normal case-by-case basis, continually wondered why it was even in place.
To me, (and these are all opinions, which this entire thread essentially is), the Call/Bring system brought nothing of value to the server:
To me, it felt like an unneeded extra phase, a hassle that generally added less my Buildbox experience.
I actually felt very... I would say... anxious? embarrassed? there isn't entirely quite a word I can place to describe it, however,
I am one of those people who tend to allow or accept a request, even if it was the smallest of ideas or tasks and even if I didn't/don't entirely want such a request to be accepted, I would normally go for it as a denial would feel out of place and doesn't seem like the proper approach to the thing.
This is the case, because I would always ask, "Why Not?"
But really, isn't that the case about this whole topic:
Why Not let them teleport to you?
Is it going to hurt you to the degree of mental, emotional, or physical damaging? Not really.
Is it going to possibly take away from building? Yes, there is that possibility, but only for a few seconds or mere minutes and thats even if you decide to take action against it, and I'm certain you can spare at least those few moments.
Again I ask, Why not let them teleport to you?
I've generally been one of those people whom for the longest time has believed there really isn't anything wrong with teleporting, and in fact, I consider it a very good thing because...
Well really... What is Building and Architecture and Color and Shapes and Sizes and all that which encompasses this type of expression?
Well... Isn't it merely a form of art?
Whether Art or not, no matter the field, we, as humans, have tried to improve on what has been done before, what is being composed in the present, and just generally anything we come across or see that tends to pique our interests.
The viewing of other people's builds can always give off that sense of inspiration if one doesn't entirely have an idea on what they want to build. Perhaps they would take the block composition, a general theme or shape of a structure, or really anything they could incorporate later into something they crafted themselves.
It essentially is something that could HELP a builder, and not hurt them in any shape or form; and this is probably why I absolutely do not understand your argument in the initial post.
You even say it there:
This is a build server, we help each other to be better. We don't reserve special rights.
The idea of the allowance of teleporting CAN essentially be helpful, and I don't see how implementing the
"bring/call" system back into play contributes anything to the server at all.
In fact, your reasoning doesn't make sense to me in even bringing this system back up again.
People don't use whispers, instead they talk about their build freely in main chat. If you have it out in the open, but don't want people coming to you, keep it a secret in the first place. No, no, I am not insisting I am part of the NSA, but I just want to see great builds that are mentioned in chat. This is a public server, and it's a free creative server.
...but I'm just disappointed to be shoo'd away when I arrive already when I want to see other builds. After all, what good does it that you freely talk about secret projects in the open...
From what I have read in the initial post, this is essentially coming from a single form of event (though it may have happened over a number of circumstances) however,
Honestly...
And I apologize for being fairly apathetic here but...
Seriously, if something like this happens well...
Get over it.
This is something that happens, and it doesn't matter that it happens.
People can do this, and really have the right to do this. It may be annoying yes, however, in the end that situation becomes a case of your opinion against mine in which essentially nobody is right, as again, that is an opinion.
Tl;dr -> I don't want to see the terrible and silly Call/Bring system back. Its very much an unneeded device and essentially drags the whole server down into a proposition that people are on both sides are on, and in the end makes nobody happy.
Include that /tptoggle command instead, because that seems fantastic, and once again, as Sephhh said, it leaves it down to the INDIVIDUAL to decide.
Because I know I don't want a single thread to suddenly decide whom I can and cannot teleport to.
In fact, I feel
nitasu987 is generally correct as well.
The majority of active players are either Builder or up.
That leaves that sense of responsibility, you should use that teleport usage wisely,
and becoming builder, I would say you essentially accept the fact that people WILL teleport to you, as well as the other way around in which YOU will instead teleport to others.
Again, this isn't a very well-written post due to it being 2 in the morning and I generally can't get all my thoughts together but eeeeeeeeeeeeh, what can you do about that.
Edit:
Edit: Raxo. Mister. You better reply on why you disagree with me. You must state your evidence, this is a public server and I feel that Bring/Call system is necessary.
This isn't entirely a thing needed to be said, but I like being thorough and discuss everything I have a problem with.
Now, despite raxo mistakenly clicking the wrong rating...
This Edited statement shouldn't even be here.
No, just because someone disagrees does not mean they MUST state anything.
Don't go around forcing someone that they MUST explain why they dislike or disagree or anything like that.
People don't have to respond to something like that.
If that's someone's opinion, then its someone's darn opinion, and there is nothing to it but that. People do have the right to remain silent, they don't have to respond pass a rating if they do not feel like it, want to, or can't even entirely put into (understandable) words on said reasoning.
This statement is generally just rude, and really has no place here.
