Make "scentless crimes" not crimes at all

Thoughts on the further development of Haven & Hearth? Feel free to opine!

Make "scentless crimes" not crimes at all

What I'm going at: actions that require Criminal Acts toggled ON, but don't actually give any crime penalties whatsoever.

Two examples I know of:
-Foraging on a vclaim (pclaim as well I assume, but you need to trespass into it which DOES leave a scent)
-Interacting with a claimed quest giver (people go out of their way to secure a quest giver and give the public access, then get blocked by un-intuitive system where game says the quest giver is "owned" and when you ask about it, you're told to become a criminal. I mean obviously there's zero penalty if you do it right and you don't even need any Crime skills AFAIK, but it sure does sound suspicious.)

As far as I know ,,, With Criminal Acts toggled OFF ... One can't do anything on a claim for which you have no rights.
So its probably a Dev's workaround to solve some related problems.
