So people shall be allowed to drop beacons on their sims, advertise them here with all bells and whistles and then tell people, "LOL none of you ain't gettin' in here, this sim is only for me and my best buddies!"? And you shall still refrain from giving it zero stars for obviously abusing a loophole?
If you see a sim entry here on OSW, the first thing you assume is that you can visit this sim. And then sims come along that not only require a group membership, but there's no way for average Joe to even obtain a group membership because he isn't BFFs with the sim owner.
At least, sims with restricted access should be marked as such:
* Requires group membership; open group
* Requires group membership; invite-only
* Requires group membership; closed circle/non-public
* Only for residents of the same grid
But even if this should come, it'd rely on sim owners actually setting their OSW entries up correctly. And many can't even seem to adjust the rating correctly; I guess some 20-30% of all sims on OSW have a different rating on OSW than in-world (e.g. advertised on OSW as Adult, actually General).
