It makes me want to stab my eyes out every time I see somebody referencing
"UserApprovedOwning". XD
DO NOT SET THIS. IT IS UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE FOR ANYONE
OTHER THAN A USER TO SET THIS.
Perhaps this setting is telling the player Take This Association From Anyone
At Any Time No Matter What Else The User Does. Perhaps it does nothing.
Clearly nobody really knows, and as such I would most strongly recommend you
DO NOT TOUCH THIS SETTING.
Please?
You'll note this is in lockstep with my avowed "play nice with everybody"
set of rules I live by in my development life. Do NOT set user settings
like that yourself, please.
