'Observer' mode: This is kind of cool, letting you wander around in a
universe where ever you like and not be seen by anyone or even showing up on
the world's population. You don't have an avatar to click on, and the bots
don't register that you're there, either. Unfortunately, it can only be
used by people like the universe owner. Or those sneaky individuals who
like to 'play' with things. ;-)

Found this on a 3.3 info website. AWCom could now spy on us without our
knowledge. This means invasion of privacy.

Mind telling us the link?

Where did you find this? It would seem pretty hard to implement to me :)

Hard to implement? Not REALLY... Theyd just need to do a few changes to the
world server to allow this type of connection.

Found site somehow. But where did Cyberwolfman find the info on observer
mode?

I think he means global mode, except it can be used by any world caretaker...

you can do all that in global mode :) Because you don't need to call aw_state_change(), your
avatar is never shown

I think he knows nothing about bots so he mis interpreted Global Mode.

Just a few opinions about his site and opinions on it:

this person, well...he seems to find all these bugs and yet thinks AW will
telepathicly find them all or something. The beta testers dont catch
everything so if you find a bug you don't just sit there and complain.
They'll most likely fix it if they know about it. He doesn't seem to realize
that every new version is going to have bugs and will not be the smoothest
running application. It seems to be worse thats becuase with new features
brings new bugs. Although they SHOULD have been fixed in beta, maybe we need
more testers?

I dont think he reads the beta page either. He takes general terms like "seq
fix" and thinks that it means all problems with seqs are all fixed when in
fact only one problem with sews was fixed.

He cant just say my world he has to say my world, ThisIsIt every time which
is really anoying heh, but what the hey its his site.

He thinks that putting your contact list on the uniserver means theyre
snooping into it. Uuuh...right...like theyre going to want to know who your
contacts are....seesh. He also does not trust AW management at all and
thinks they look at your credit card number and who you have on your contact
list.

He has a thing about Gor and thinks aw should stop them becuase in his
opinion they are wrong. And i never hear anyone talking about adult topics
in aw worlds, which is really impossible through regular chat anyway. And he
doesnt like PKs becuase they eject you if you talk about gors or "try to
speak out against them" *cough* riiiight.. I can tell he knows no truth of
Gor and just thinks that people are controlling and talking about adult
things with little children. There is an age limit and theres nothing to
force here either, you log out of you dont like it. And just becuase he gets
into a fight with a few gor person he immediatly stereotypes all gors that
way. I doubt he treated them with respect in the first place becuase of his
believes against them so why should they to him which is problem why they
are so hostile in the first place. He also says gor worlds are breaking the
law because the role-play killing. HA! So that would mean playing practicly
any game out there would be murder also since it involves killing peoples
characters. come ON...

So thats it >:)

Well, it must be global mode because he listed all features except global mode, but listed
observer mode, so that should perhaps settle it :)

ya come to think of it this sounds like Global Mode. But I did post this
topic to make sure no new spying ability wasn't made for AWCom.
