Currently the creator of an object can choose one of several options to result when a user clicks on the object. One of these options allows a creator to set an object so that when a user left-clicks on it, they automatically sit on the object. I propose that this feature be modified so that it only the owner of the object will automatically sit on the object. This would only affect the "sit" option, all other possible options (ie touch, buy, etc) would remain available for all users. My reason for proposing this is that the function is often abused for griefing purposes. A griefer rezzes an invisible object around an avatar, set so that a left-click triggers a sit. Note that the avatar is not intentionally, willfully, or consensually choosing to sit on the object. While this trick has long been used to trigger animations on the avatar (so-called "deformers" whose animations were easily stopped), there are now objects in SL that take advantage of an avatar clicking and unintentionally sitting on the object to deliver orbits that do not register on bumps/pushes/hits (thus making abuse-reporting more difficult), as well as objects which then apply an immense sideways force that knocks the object and avatar off-sim, essentially into limbo. If the user attempts to teleport back, their client crashes or loses connection. Note that users can still sit on objects owned by other users, I am not proposing to prevent that, I am simply saying that they should do so via right-click -> sit, or other methods where they only sit on the object intentionally. As such, this would not break any legitimate content (here I am presuming that objects that force a user's client to crash or disconnect are not legitimate, per the Linden Labs ToS and Community Standards, not to mention Federal Law regarding DoS attacks and, well, common sense), at most it would be a minor inconvenience for individuals to have to right-click -> sit rather than simply left-click. And of course, it would not affect the ability of the owner of the object to left click and automatically sit on it, so a lot of the content that utilizes this function would remain unaffected. As this function can be used to intentionally cause a user's client to crash or disconnect, I feel that it is necessary to make this minor change. I am filing this as a new feature and not as a bug report because left-click -> sit is an expected feature of SecondLife, but one that I feel needs to be modified to prevent abuse. I am marking it as Major because the threat of crashing user's clients is a direct threat to the SecondLife service itself. I am filing it here rather than submitting a security report because there are already publicly-sold items in SecondLife that use this feature for the purposes outlined here, thus obviating the need for secrecy.
