Second Life Griefing Tools Usa
Edel Dieringer
I have heard of no such new griefing tools, which is not to say they do not exist. However, the only time I have ever encountered griefing was when someone had their parcel wide open for scripts, object entry, and object creation turned on for everyone. If people "own" their parcels, have you suggested they create a group for them and their friends and set the land to the group? Not necessarily deeding it, but setting it so that only members of that group can do any of those things? I know some sailing sims require that object entry and scripts be turned on for water craft. If that is the case, what about a buffer zone round the waterways so that tenants can set their land as they wish?
Please take a moment to consider if this thread is worth bumping.QuestionRickhfxPosted June 21RickhfxResident

If you are on land which you own, or allowed to administer, Second Life offers you powerful tools to prevent griefing attacks. You can control who is able to visit your land and what they can do there.
If you are on group land, the ability to use land management options can be assigned to you through the "Allowed Abilities" for your Role in the group.Right-click on the ground and select "About Land" from the pie menu, or select "World -> About Land..." from the menu, or click on the parcel name at the top of your screen to open the "About Land" window.
The "About Land" window contains six tabs which allow land owners to set various land options. Three of these are interesting to minimize griefing attacks.
If the griefing avatar is on your land, you can also Freeze, Eject and/or Ban, him from your land. Simply right-click on the offending avatar, choose "More" from the pie menu, then either "Freeze" or "Eject" from the second menu.If you choose Freeze from the pie menu, a window will pop up enabling you to Freeze the avatar (rendering him unable to move, chat or interact with objects), Unfreeze an avatar who has been previously frozen, or Cancel the freeze request.
If you choose Eject and also have land ban privileges, you will see a choice to simply eject the avatar from the parcel or to eject and simultaneously add him to the parcel's ban list.
The official secondlife viewer seems a lot safer, there I just got spamed with a teleport request to a sandbox along with notice in local saying there are too many SLurls from an untrusted source that will be blocked for security.
If paying twenty dollars for something in SL which enjoys them is a justification for defending RedZone, then you can defend any malicious Viewer Hack sold on the black market, too. For some people griefing and spy tools are VERY enjoyable, regardless the price.
The first year after a loss does allow our brains to become more accustomed to a world without our loved one. That doesn't make it easier to accept that they're gone or magically make life easier. But it does take away some of the shock and debilitating overwhelm of early grief. In that first year we learn who is there to support us. Ideally we find some coping tools along the way. We begin the slow process of proving to ourselves that we can survive. It's tempting to think that with all that in place, year two MUST be easier.
Great article. The second year was harder in many ways. The first year had a lot of numbness, and all the firsts rolled in with lots of support. The second year was experiencing the painful reality of my life without my boyfriend. I am beginning year 6. In some ways in does get easier, but many days, I feel that I am living in year 2. I wake up every day without him and I know it. Peace to all.
When i bringed up that post i wanted to point out that they are actually developing more anti griefing tools, but i agree that when someone burns a base there is no other explanation than that is a griefer and he must be banned, hopefully they do some changes this year.
it takes like 30 seconds to ban + rollback a save anyways, even without real anti-griefing tools it's really not that damaging. in my experience dst griefers have always just been a mild annoyance instead of completely devastating my progress like in some other multiplayer games
