    Ever since beacons have been added, they have been popping up all over the plotworld, and in some cases more then 6 in a plot.
    I cannot be positive but i think it does cause lag, the more you have.
    I don't know how this issue will be dealt with, maybe maximum one a plot? But I thought I would bring it to your attention.

    I have only seen one application of a beacon look good and it wasnt on a plot. Just another long list of wtf from plotworld.

    I think it should be banned just like rails and pistons should be.

    is it possible to just ban it in plotworld?

    Beacons are a nice touch in some builds, I agree with gurra...

    Yes. Just ban it for guest ranks. It's like how only architects and admins can place lava/rails

    Pretty sure you can't place rails anywhere, even builders. Only admins and architects.

  11. What would be the reason for having rail or pistons disabled anyway?

    People made rollercoasters. I think pistons cause lag.

    I tried but couldn't, I was gonna use them as a pattern on a floor/carpet like in tegs mansion.

    I have ran into it as well i usually see it in chat tp there tell them to stop and most times they do. But there is always that 1 person who dont listen.

    They're new and shiny, so all the 13-year-olds think they're super special awesome and should be put everywhere, because they believe using a lot of rare "bling" blocks makes a crappy build better, which makes it a problem.

    Beacons are OK when used properly and sparingly, the problem is that most people don't know the meaning of those two words.
