Giving Group Admins the ability to delete portals
l church l
there is a major issue of users coming into instances multiple times an hour and dropping partials. These portals are being used for griffing or malicious uses. This causes issues in game worlds such as murder and prison escape where after users are done with a game it spawns them back in a spawn area or places them in front of the game setting or any other destructive measures. These malicious users will make a wall of portals around a user or spawn area. My recommendations for group events and instances are to make it permission to delete portals and/ or only allow certain roles to drop portals. These types of instances have affected my experiences in the community I run and several other communities that I have spoken to all around VRChat.
- Yes we do know about making portals clickable but it's hard to get everyone in our community to do this, especially the newer users we are trying to attract to the platform. Even so, these portals can still cause interface issues preventing users from accessing or seeing some world UI systems.

I too favour this idea. Many times I've seen users drop portals to other worlds that may not be so friendly for young eyes, or the world it leads to is malicious.
On deletion of a portal, it should set a timer on the user who placed it before they can drop another - say a minute, or 3 minutes.

Maybe it would be better to prevent portal placement in the first place by giving that control to admins.

Ya, I just recently found that you can hover over the portal like a player so it would be cool if event staff with proper group perms could simply close the portal.

Perhaps a better solution to the issue is to gate portal dropping in group instances so those without said permission can't drop portals. I suggest this only because deleting portals other users make would be both time consuming as well as imperfect as they can just drop another one leading to a fight as to whether the portal is there or gone.
