I wonder if it would be feasible for BB to create a sort of transparent island overlay so that people could visit an island but not interfere with the island? In that way visitors could be allowed to have a look but not to do random buffs, use tricks, or drop uninvited buffs on truce camps etc.
Sort of just a way to visually see an island without interfering with it?
Enable "visit island" to all players but you need to be friends before you can buff.
I like that ideaQuote:

Yes. Some people like for instance to kill the truce camps themselves and get annoyed when someone has use the buffs and they click the 'quest complete' without thinking when they login. Likewise many have buff schedules which they like to keep to so that it fits with work and end up using endless stop buffs as friends have thought they were helping by dropping a few buffs. There have been cases of people thinking it funny to drop a load of tricks on players who are offline.Quote:

I can see what Durin is suggesting but it is often friends who cause the problems by trying to help, so they think.
Has happened to me many times, and can greatly disturb my schedule. Fortunately I think I've communicated with enough people it doesn't happen much but there always is that new friend that just got added...Quote:

So I can't see a clear way to handle something like this.
