Easy fix for corruption baiting

I love the corruption system overall - it does exactly what you want it to.

But right now it's easy to accidentally become corrupted.

The fix:
1. Alt-F flags you for PvP and turns you purple. No stupid halfway stage where you're flagged but still white. You can unflag for PvP if you haven't dealt or taken PvP damage in the past 2 mins.
2. Have a checkbox in combat settings "Do Not harm unflagged players whilst PvP-flagged" - have it checked by default. If you want to be able to hit white players whilst PvP-flagged, uncheck the box. That way, no one becomes accidentally corrupted. If you turn red, it's because you made a choice to do so (or at least to risk it, same as now, if you want to bully someone off a site without killing them).

The corruption system is not working perfectly right now and the white name thing is not supposed to happen. I am uncertain if this is occurring due to someone in a group flagging purple and others going white or what the exact cause is. The first weekend was a mess with white names killing green non-combatants without getting corruption but did not see this occurring last weekend.

Before making a lot of suggestions, I think we need to understand how it is 'supposed' to be working because right now, it is not working as intended. For example, no sense in suggesting a combat setting for white names if there are not supposed to be white names. 😲

With that said, there should already be a setting that allows people to not do damage to non-combatants with aoe heals/dps. Steven said he thought it was working in the last interview I heard him do but could not confirm it.
