This right here is why the forums are so terrible to read, You guys are so high and mighty about how the goons are trolls and how you don't like them but you are the reason that any type of trolling continues.

Don't be annoyed by the single post i make versus the tons of troll posts.
Plus i disagree with images turning a post into a shit post. I've enjoyed some goon posts myself.
The ones who see things differently.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Are you claiming that before the image your post was not a shit post and the image turned it into one? Cause I'm quite sure a totally empty post is shit.

The fact that you can build cabins in a way that renders the contents of them inaccessible to others is not an intended game mechanic (Which, of course, is plainly obvious to anyone for whom it is true that retarded (boolean) = 0), and I will not hesitate to fix such situations manually (If I feel like it).

So, I put my hearthfire in a way that attempts to render the insides of my cabin inaccessible to others who don't port in (to prevent theft, after I got my mine smashed). Is that an exploit, and will I have my hearthfire removed when someone reports it? I don't know if it's an intended game mechanic or not, but people tell me that blocking your cabin entrance is pretty much the way to go.

if people can't enter the cabin, then its a exploit. If it merely prevents them from moving about in your cabin, by getting them stuck in place, then its argueable whether its a exploit or not. At the very least that would mean someone could just destroy your hearthfire [anyone with sufficient str/tea].
If its the first, J&L would probly remove it if someone reported it, as you would be using a exploit to make something 100% safe, if its the 2nd one, i doubt J&L would do anything, as it merely makes it harder to get at it, not impossible.

Ie.. if they try and enter through the cabin door from outside, and "nothing happens" as they cannot enter the cabin at all is a exploit to the highest degree.

If you are talking about building your hearthfire right inside the cabin entrance, I don't think that works anymore. Because it is possible to destroy hearthfires that you are standing on top of.

Update: Ich now built a Palisade around my House, only to find a hole in it and some more things taken after beeing away for about ten minutes. New tracks are leading to one of the remaining two Houses.
