I can't believe that it isn't possible to create a LM without going there, precisely for this reason.
What LL might really mean is that they can't check if it's allowed to *create* a LM without going there first. So, it's a permission problem. But, since there clearly is a way to attempt to go anywhere (by using the map, or an slurl) that whole 'permission' thing is flawed. It's meaningless. I used to have a sim and I didn't allow people to create a LM (I only wanted them to there when I (or another resident) actually was there, and invited them over. However, once they got (group) access, they came anyway, without being invited... I asked how, and they said: simple, I clicked on the map. The problem here is therefore (imho): LL needs to understand it is impossible to control whether or not someone creates a LM and allow us to write code that creates arbitrary LM's for any place, without going there first.
