 Description  « Hide

Put simply : we residents need better tools to deal with abuse in Second Life.

This means :
* Land options/permissions
* Estate options/permissions
* LSL calls
* Client options like true mute

With particular reference to the following problems :
* Denial of Service attacks (sim crashing, etc)
* Spam attacks (particle spam, chat spam, voice spam, IM spam, etc)
* Trolling attacks (harassment of particular individuals or places)
* Resource Abuse (using physical prims to cause sim lag, etc)
* Weapons abuse (orbitting, push in safe zones, caging, etc)

Relevant news articles :
* ACS Dreamland manager slams Linden Lab's response to griefing as inadequate, showing a lack of leadership and failure to give residents suitable tools, and dismisses attempts to ban griefers' accounts as a "worthless exercise" : http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2007/09/dreamland-slams.html (Sept 2007)
* Wikipedia article lists griefing and denial of service attacks as a major content problem within Second Life : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life_criticism (Sept 2007)
* Screenshot of a PN griefer in the process of writing "PN" on the world map by crashing many sims at once : http://img386.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pnworldmappo8.jpg

You are welcome to edit this article to include more links to news stories or images showing the griefing problem.

Linked to SVC-422. My simple and ingenious solution to almost all scams, and theft.

I accidentally made the link a duplicate, though. Still trying to work out how to change it to a relation -_-

This makes sense: this issue in particular: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-244 needs addressing.

Add "Return All Objects" as an estate-wide feature for a specified resident.

One very useful feature would be the ability to turn off dialog popups. A common form of griefing includes repeated popups that come so fast you can't operate the GUI.
