Rapeprots are sometimes hard to rememmber - or atleast for someones. Each mob
with rapeprot could give you a mark after killing and that mark could fade out
after the rapeprot is over. You could view these rapeprots with some command.

Many people use their blogs to note the kills and that's boring. I didnt even
want that line to my finger but there it is cause I have bad memory.

-Love

Or you can create a short code script that will use calendar for that (help
cal). When you recive the line that brings the prot up agains xyz it will look
how long prot xyz from a list has and send short syntax of creating cal
markings.

Here is a example for cmud users.
First do a @Abuse_protection Database Variable that has NPCs target name as key
and prot time a value.
then the trigger itself.
Pattern in regexp: ^(.*) is DEAD, R\.I\.P\.$
and actions:
#if (%isvalue(@Abuse_protection, %1)) {
$ProtLenght = %item(@Abuse_protection, %isvalue(@Abuse_protection, %1))
#Send {cal (+{$ProtLenght}d) You %1 $ProtLenght days ago}
#send {y}
}

Will not work in old zmud as it uses the new local variable but skilled zmud
muksut juksut know how to tweak it to work.

l33t java coders of course pull the prot times from BatWiki, but that script
would be tad long for single post and i am trying to cut of this extra long
writing as i have got whine from wizards that my ideas are too long.
Instead i would like to use this left over space with idea that needs thousands
of coding hours and most of topend players would see it as useless, downtune,
uptune, pointless or just plain stupid.

Remove levels from non-combat guilds.

A :-D hits you.

Unfortunately, "rape prot" is too wide of a category to work this way. While
most monsters with some kind of anti-abuse use the same code, the other half
each use custom-coded punishments. Even if I were to code this system for the
"standard" system, the variations on that theme would make such a system
misleading at best, and fatal at worst.

Sorry, as good as an idea this is, it's a practical impossibility.
