We need the ability to moderate Scripted Agents on the parcel level
Skullphern Resident
Basically, bots entering and leaving sims are only able to do so, because they have a landing point within the sim, and since currently it is only able to be set in REGION administration, this means anyone in a mainland parcel has no chance to ever moderate scripted agents from not entering, cataloging, and recording their names, attachments, position, friends, etc.
Im sure if everyone was able to simply turn on a setting that says "Must not be a scripted agent" for parcel access, we'd see far fewer tracking bots.

Related to this, a lot of us do not want to deal with AI slop avatars, such as those created by the Character Designer. Simply keeping scripted agents out of my parcels is an easy first step, which other aspects of this feedback can be built on.

why not prevent scripted agents from being able to see objects and avatars inside a parcel at all where they don't have rights to enter, for example not even detect if any avatars inside the parcel are present on the region. I think what people are really asking for is a "Stop allowing anonymous third parties to scrape my (meta)data without my consent" button, because data scraping at bot-enabled scales and speeds can lead to a number of real harms.

As long as a bot can reach even a single 4x4 parcel on your region, it can carry out its task. There's a few threads on this running right now with lots of information on the issue, please check those out.
