Lock groups to agent age to be able to join
tracked

With the amount of scambots, trolls and what have you going around, it would be nice for an added measure of protection by being able to set an "age" limit on our groups so that avatars of a certain time online can not join and lock out all these day old scammers and troll accounts.
I know LL can not control all accounts as they join but this would lock down a major issue and save people grief and from being scammed. While this does not thwart ALL troll/scam attempts when they take over established accounts, it would surely limit the issue by a lot and be less work for everyone. Including in the SLB group as its been very prolific in as of late for an example.

There are groups like Mama Allpa that you can join at the base level, that do not give you rights to post into the group chat. For that, you have to get an "invite" through the HUD itself, which elevates the group role.
I would think that an "age limit" flag to keep spammers out of groups could be bypassed for customers, simply by buying a product and getting an attachment / HUD that sends you an elevated invite link.

The only sad part of this is it also locks out actual new avatars that are here with the right intentions. I guess, along with that auto lockout feature would maybe be a message "You will be able to join this group if you message XYZ owner or manager with a private message and ask for a group invite" ??

Excellent idea Ketsui and this would solve so many annoying issues.

SL Feedback That was quick, thank you! I couldn't find another similar to upvote and there was another case of nasty troll posts hitting far and wide. Hopefully soon, this is exhausting.
