<div>http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4299<br />
<br />
New Feature suggestion<br />
<br />
Policy proposal: a departing LL employee who is an outstanding contributor to the cultural, educational, artistic, or humanitarian environment of Second LIfe will be awarded a private island as severance compensation. The departing employee will have full use of the island for five years without obligation to pay any "tier" or land ownership fees. The recipient will enjoy complete freedom to create or present content on the island, with no more restriction than normally applies to any other SL resident, provided only that at least half of the island "footprint" is devoted solely to cultural, educational, artistic, or humanitarian objectives. <br />
<br />
The first recipient of the award will be Prospero Frobozz (the departee previously known as Prospero Linden) and the policy will be known as the Prospero's Island policy.</div>Bau Urhttps://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=User:Bau_Ur&diff=192862User:Bau Ur2009-01-06T17:11:07Z<p>Bau Ur: </p>

Gender is a lens through which we see one another and interpret words and actions. I think it is a poor lens that blurs and distorts at least as often as it focusses and clarifies. I prefer not to be seen through it and I prefer to see others without it too. If you feel you don't really know a person unless you know their gender...what does this say about your attention to the content of their character? And how much you value people as individuals rather than as occupants of roles? Might be worth thinking about. <br />
<br />
English used to have a pronoun "hae" that was not specific to gender. It was lost in medieval times, leaving us with only " he", "she", and " it". Let's recover the loss and enrich the language with modern epicene pronouns. They are perfect for SL. "He or she" is zie. "His or her" is hir. Nice, short, quick to type. <br />

<hr />
<div>REPORT ALL GRIEFERS<br />
<br />
A. Executive summary of this notecard: <br />
<br />
To report griefing, go to Help at the Top of your screen. If you were shot or shoved or constrained, check Bumps Pushes and Hits to see who did it. Then, also in Help, select Report Abuse and fill out the AR (Abuse Report) form.<br />
Details and explanation follow, below.<br />
<br />
B. WHAT ARE GRIEFERS?<br />
Griefers are people who deliberately interfere with other people's legitimate enjoyment of an activity; <br />
or <br />
who pursue their own fun with wreckless disregard for negative effects on bystanders. <br />
<br />
You can report abusive behavior to Linden Lab. Multiple reports lead to the griefer being suspended from Second Life for a time, or possibly being permanently banned.<br />
<br />
<br />
C. USE THE AR (Abuse Report) TO REPORT A GRIEFER<br />
<br />
1) If griefers are pushing you around or shooting at you, quickly sit on the ground or on something belonging to you. Normally griefers cannot move you while you sit. If they are using malicious objects, hover your pointer over the object to see the owner's name. <br />
<br />
2) Quickly write down your location (region, XYZ coordinates). If you can tell who the griefer is, write their name quickly on a piece of paper. Don't bother to engage the griefer in conversation or argument. It just gratifies them and delays your report.<br />
<br />
3) Go to HELP at the top of your SL screen.<br />
<br />
If you have just been forced out of your location or position, by shoving or with a weapon (scripted object), select BUMPS, PUSHES, & HITS. The abuser's name will probably be listed there. . Be careful -- there are many innocent bumps sometimes, from people who accidentally walk into you.<br />
<br />
Also under HELP, select REPORT ABUSE.<br />
<br />
4) On the AR (Abuse Report Form) you will see a small snapshot of your current field of view. If this snapshot shows what the griefer is doing, click "include screenshot" under the picture.<br />
<br />
5) You will see a box that says "Select Category" and has a drop-down menu. You must select one of the categories of abusive behavior. Here are some examples to clarify those categories.<br />
<br />
INTOLERANCE: <br />
Seeking to exclude a person from what should be a public activity or area. <br />
<br />
Using extremely insulting and inflammatory language toward groups of people based on race, nationality, religion, or sexual preferences.<br />
<br />
HARRASSMENT: <br />
Pressing for interaction with someone after being told to stop; <br />
<br />
Pursuing, bothering, or repeatedly insulting a person. Debates and personal quarrels do not constitute harrassment, however. Those are consensual activities.<br />
<br />
ASSAULT: <br />
Repeatedly walking into someone (not by mistake);<br />
<br />
Using a weapon to push people out of a location where they have a right to be;<br />
<br />
Placing a cage or container around a person;<br />
<br />
Producing objects, particles, or sounds that are disruptive or interfere with your field of view, or which excessively consume server resources in your region; <br />
<br />
Repeatedly playing sound clips or filling chat with verbage so as to disrupt other people's conversations.<br />
<br />
INDECENCY: nude genital display, using obscene language excessively or repeatedly, or rezzing disgusting objects in a PG area ( or in a mature area where land owners forbid it, or the intention is to bother others).<br />
<br />
PARCEL VIOLATIONS:<br />
Placing objects across parcel boundaries; using another person's land to place advertisements or malicious objects; littering another person's land. <br />
<br />
6) Abuser name<br />
<br />
You cannot directly write the griefer's name in the "Abuser name" box. Click the Select button just to the right of the Abuser name box. It will open "person chooser". <br />
<br />
In the person chooser, type the griefer's name or part of it. This will open a list of similar names. Choose the right name and click Select. That name will automatically be placed in the "Abuser name" field of the AR form.<br />
<br />
If you cannot see who the griefer is (for example, you are assaulted with a lot of sounds and you do not know where they are coming from) use the name BLUE LINDEN. Blue Linden generously allows his name to be defamed this way, as a work-around. The AR cannot be sent with no abuser name on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
7) Location of abuse<br />
<br />
If you are still at the site of abuse when you begin the report, the report will automatically record the location and time. If you have gone to a different location to make the abuse report, you must use the body of the report form to state the name of the sim in which the griefing occurred, and preferably the parcel name or coordinates too.<br />
<br />
8) Summary<br />
<br />
Give a brief title to your report. Refer to the time, so that the Abuse Team at Linden Lab knows whether an immediate response is helpful or not.<br />
<br />
Examples of summaries:<br />
<br />
"Here and Now, griefers shooting a crowd"<br />
or<br />
"Griefers 4PM, shot people, gone now"<br />
or<br />
"Harrassing me now, won't leave my house"<br />
or<br />
"Griefer yesterday left objects on parcel"<br />
<br />
9) Details<br />
<br />
Your abuse report will reach the Lindens with an automatic date and time stamp showing when it was sent, and from where. You do not need to give the date, time, and coordinates of the griefing episode if the automatially entered information is accurate. Just start the description with something like "Here and now" if the abuse is happening; something like "Here at 4PM Second Life Time" if you are reporting after the fact. <br />
<br />
Example of "Details":<br />
<br />
"4 PM yesterday June 4 at Rosebud 110, 30, 31 Ratsucker Hax shot 6 guests out of my shop."<br />
<br />
"Here and now, Ratsucker Hax is rezzing obscene objects and particles going over my parcel boundary. Chat excerpt:<br />
You: Get rid of this stuff. You have no quarrel with my guests.<br />
Ratsucker Hax: its not on ur land u cant do anything so eat me lol<br />
<br />
<br />
10) REPORT ABUSE<br />
<br />
Don't forget to click the Report Abuse button at the bottom of the report, to send it!<br />
<br />
<br />
D. REPORTING A GRIEFER OBJECT<br />
<br />
If a griefer goes away and leaves a harmful or irritating object behind, you can use the object to identify the griefer and submit a report. <br />
<br />
1) Right-click on the object<br />
<br />
2) Select More<br />
<br />
3) Select More again<br />
<br />
4) Select Report Abuse<br />
<br />
5) The Abuse Report form should open for you, showing the name of the owner of the object in the "Abuser name" field. If not, use the "Click the button, then the object" option near the top of the Abuse Report form.<br />
<br />
6) Fill out the rest of the form and be sure to click the Report Abuse button at the bottom when it is complete. <br />
<br />
<br />
WILL THE GRIEFER SEE MY NAME?<br />
<br />
The Lindens will not tell the griefer the names of any people who reported him. <br />
<br />
IF THE GRIEFER KNOWS I REPORTED HIM, CAN HE TRACK ME DOWN AND BOTHER ME?<br />
<br />
Anyone can send you IMs, unless you mute that person. Then you will no longer received their IMs or see any of their chat text.<br />
People can tell your location only if they are on your Friends list and you specifically give them that power.<br />
There are spy devices that can follow or look for you but they normally have a range of only 96 M. <br />
Objects cannot follow you when you teleport. <br />
If you own land, you can use land settings to prevent objects from entering your land. You can also eject specific people from your land and ban them from re-entering.</div>Bau Urhttps://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=Reporting_griefers:_very_detailed_instructions&diff=90719Reporting griefers: very detailed instructions2008-09-11T11:51:15Z<p>Bau Ur: shortened things here and there</p>

<div>Bau Ur is the user name of a "resident" of the virtual online environment Second Life. <br />
<br />
Bau Ur is rather private about details of real life and has revealed little beyond the fact that zie (he or she) is trained as a botanist and anthropologist, has been a high school science teacher, works as a grant writer, and loses money as an artist. <br />
<br />
Bau's Second Life profile contains the following statements, somewhat rearranged here for coherence.<br />
<br />
*****<br />
Whatever my form, please regard me as genderless, which my mind is -- and our minds are really here, right? Our bodies are elsewhere, our electronic forms are flickering dreams.<br />
<br />
Gender is a lens through which we see one another and interpret words and actions. I think it is a poor lens that blurs and distorts at least as often as it focusses and clarifies. I prefer not to be seen through it and I prefer to see others without it too. If you feel you don't really know a person unless you know their gender...what does this say about your attention to the content of their character? And how much you value people as individuals rather than as occupants of roles? Might be worth thinking about. <br />
<br />
English used to have a pronoun "hae" that was not specific to gender. It was lost in medieval times, leaving us with only " he", "she", and " it". Let's recover the loss and enrich the language with modern epicene pronouns. They are perfect for SL. "He or she" is zie. "His or her" is hir. Nice, short, quick to type. <br />
<br />
*****<br />
In fantasy as in reality, we shape our own natures. This is never trivial. <br />
<br />
Kurt Vonnegut: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend..."<br />
<br />
We can practice being many different things in this fantasy world. Worse, better, more heedless, wiser. What fantasy do you mean to become?<br />

<div>REPORT ALL GRIEFERS<br />
<br />
A. Executive summary of this notecard: <br />
<br />
To report griefing, go to Help at the Top of your screen. If you were shot or shoved or constrained, check Bumps Pushes and Hits to see who did it. Then, also in Help, select Report Abuse and fill out the AR (Abuse Report) form.<br />
Details and explanation follow, below.<br />
<br />
B. WHAT ARE GRIEFERS?<br />
Griefers are people who deliberately interfere with other people's legitimate enjoyment of an activity; <br />
or <br />
who pursue their own fun with wreckless disregard for negative effects on bystanders. <br />
<br />
You can report abusive behavior to Linden Labs. Multiple reports lead to the griefer being suspended from Second Life for a time, or possibly being permanently banned.<br />
<br />
<br />
C. USE THE AR (Abuse Report) TO REPORT A GRIEFER<br />
<br />
1) If griefers are pushing you around or shooting at you, quickly sit on the ground or on something belonging to you. Normally griefers cannot move you while you sit. If they are using malicious objects, hover your pointer over the object to see the owner's name. <br />
<br />
2) Quickly write down your location (region, XYZ coordinates). If you can tell who the griefer is, write their name quickly on a piece of paper. Don't bother to engage the griefer in conversation or argument. It just gratifies them and delays your report.<br />
<br />
3) Go to HELP at the top of your SL screen.<br />
<br />
If you have just been forced out of your location or position, by shoving or with a weapon (scripted object), select BUMPS, PUSHES, & HITS. The abuser's name will probably be listed there. . Be careful -- there are many innocent bumps sometimes, from people who accidentally walk into you.<br />
<br />
Also under HELP, select REPORT ABUSE.<br />
<br />
4) On the AR (Abuse Report Form) you will see a small snapshot of your current field of view. If this snapshot shows what the griefer is doing, click "include screenshot" under the picture.<br />
<br />
5) You will see a box that says "Select Category" and has a drop-down menu. You must select one of the categories of abusive behavior. Here are some examples to clarify those categories.<br />
<br />
INTOLERANCE: <br />
Seeking to exclude a person from what should be a public activity or area. <br />
<br />
Using extremely insulting and inflammatory language toward groups of people based on race, nationality, religion, or sexual preferences.<br />
<br />
HARRASSMENT: <br />
Pressing for interaction with someone after being told to stop; <br />
<br />
Pursuing, bothering, or repeatedly insulting a person. Debates and personal quarrels do not constitute harrassment, however. Those are consensual activities.<br />
<br />
ASSAULT: <br />
Repeatedly walking into someone (not by mistake);<br />
<br />
Using a weapon to push people out of a location where they have a right to be;<br />
<br />
Placing a cage or container around a person;<br />
<br />
Producing objects, particles, or sounds that are disruptive or interfere with your field of view, or which excessively consume server resources in your region; <br />
<br />
Repeatedly playing sound clips or filling chat with verbage so as to disrupt other people's conversations.<br />
<br />
INDECENCY: nude genital display, using obscene language excessively or repeatedly, or rezzing disgusting objects in an area where land owners forbid it.<br />
<br />
PARCEL VIOLATIONS:<br />
Placing objects across parcel boundaries; using another person's land to place advertisements or malicious objects, or littering another person's land. <br />
<br />
6) Abuser name<br />
<br />
You cannot directly write the griefer's name in the "Abuser name" box. Click the Select button just to the right of the Abuser name box. It will open "person chooser". <br />
<br />
In the person chooser, type the griefer's name or part of it. This will open a list of similar names. Choose the right name and click Select. That name will automatically be placed in the "Abuser name" field of the AR form.<br />
<br />
If you cannot see who the griefer is (for example, you are assaulted with a lot of sounds and you do not know where they are coming from) use the name BLUE LINDEN. Blue Linden generously allows his name to be defamed this way, as a work-around. The AR cannot be sent with no abuser name on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
7) Location of abuse<br />
<br />
If you are still at the site of abuse when you begin the report, the report will automatically record the location and time. If you have gone to a different location to make the abuse report, you must use the body of the report form to state the name of the sim in which the griefing occurred, and preferably the parcel name or coordinates too.<br />
<br />
8) Summary<br />
<br />
Give a brief title to your report. Refer to the time, so that the Abuse Team at Linden Labs knows whether an immediate response is helpful or not.<br />
<br />
Examples<br />
<br />
"Here and Now, griefers shooting a crowd"<br />
or<br />
"Griefers 4PM, shot people, gone now"<br />
or<br />
"Harrassing me now, won't leave my house"<br />
or<br />
"Griefer yesterday left objects on parcel"<br />
<br />
9) Details<br />
<br />
Your abuse report will reach the Lindens with an automatic date and time stamp showing when it was sent, and from where. You do not need to give the date, time, and coordinates of the griefing episode if the automatially entered information is accurate. Just start the description with something like "Here and now" if the abuse is happening; something like "Here at 4PM Second Life Time" if you are reporting after the fact. <br />
<br />
Example of "Details":<br />
<br />
"4 PM yesterday June 4 at Rosebud 110, 30, 31 Ratsucker Hax shot 6 guests out of my shop. 4:04 PM he returned and covered my property with a large black object or cloud."<br />
<br />
"9 PM today, here. Ratsucker Hax came to my party here, naked and wearing a giant penis. Ignored repeated requests to leave. Harrassed my guests. Chat excerpt:<br />
[21:02] You: This is my land and my party. Go away! <br />
[21:02] Ratsucker Hax: Hey BITCH this is what you WANT come and EAT ME BITCH<br />
<br />
"Here and now, Ratsucker Hax is rezzing obscene objects and particle generators at my parcel boundary.<br />
<br />
<br />
10) REPORT ABUSE<br />
<br />
Don't forget to click the Report Abuse button at the bottom of the report, to send it!<br />
<br />
<br />
D. REPORTING A GRIEFER OBJECT<br />
<br />
If a griefer goes away and leaves a harmful or irritating object behind, you can use the object to identify the griefer and submit a report. <br />
<br />
1) Right-click on the object<br />
<br />
2) Select More<br />
<br />
3) Select More again<br />
<br />
4) Select Report Abuse<br />
<br />
5) The Abuse Report form should open for you, showing the name of the owner of the object in the "Abuser name" field. If not, use the "Click the button, then the object" option near the top of the Abuse Report form.<br />
<br />
6) Fill out the rest of the form and be sure to click the Report Abuse button at the bottom when it is complete. <br />
<br />
<br />
WILL THE GRIEFER SEE MY NAME?<br />
<br />
The Lindens will not tell the griefer the names of any people who reported him. <br />
<br />
IF THE GRIEFER KNOWS I REPORTED HIM, CAN HE TRACK ME DOWN AND BOTHER ME?<br />
<br />
Anyone can send you IMs, unless you mute that person. Then you will no longer received their IMs or see any of their chat text.<br />
People can tell your location only if they are on your Friends list and you specifically give them that power.<br />
There are spy devices that can follow or look for you but they normally have a range of only 96 M. <br />
Objects cannot follow you when you teleport. <br />
If you own land, you can use land settings to prevent objects from entering your land. You can also eject specific people from your land and ban them from re-entering.</div>Bau Urhttps://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=Reporting_griefers:_very_detailed_instructions&diff=77539Reporting griefers: very detailed instructions2008-07-10T15:42:45Z<p>Bau Ur: </p>

If you have just been forced out of your location or position, by shoving or with a weapon (scripted object), select BUMPS, PUSHES, & HITS. The abuser's name will probably be listed there. . Be careful -- there are many innocent bumps sometimes, from people who accidentally walk into you.<br />

Also under HELP, select REPORT ABUSE.<br />
<br />
4) On the AR (Abuse Report Form) you will see a small snapshot of your current field of view. If this snapshot shows what the griefer is doing, click "include screenshot" under the picture.<br />

5) You will see a box that says "Select Category" and has a drop-down menu. You must select one of the categories of abusive behavior. Here are some examples to clarify those categories.<br />
<br />
INTOLERANCE: <br />
Seeking to exclude a person from what should be a public activity or area. <br />
<br />
Using extremely insulting and inflammatory language toward groups of people based on race, nationality, religion, or sexual preferences.<br />
<br />
HARRASSMENT: <br />
Pressing for interaction with someone after being told to stop; <br />
<br />
Pursuing, bothering, or repeatedly insulting a person. Debates and personal quarrels do not constitute harrassment, however. Those are consensual activities.<br />
<br />
ASSAULT: <br />
Repeatedly walking into someone (not by mistake);<br />
<br />
Using a weapon to push people out of a location where they have a right to be;<br />
<br />

Producing objects, particles, or sounds that are disruptive or interfere with your field of view, or which excessively consume server resources in your region; <br />
<br />
Repeatedly playing sound clips or filling chat with verbage so as to disrupt other people's conversations.<br />
<br />
INDECENCY: nude genital display, using obscene language excessively or repeatedly, or rezzing disgusting objects in an area where land owners forbid it.<br />

<br />
If you cannot see who the griefer is (for example, you are assaulted with a lot of sounds and you do not know where they are coming from) use the name BLUE LINDEN. Blue Linden generously allows his name to be defamed this way, as a work-around. The AR cannot be sent with no abuser name on it.<br />

<br />
Give a brief title to your report. Refer to the time, so that the Abuse Team at Linden Labs knows whether an immediate response is helpful or not.<br />

"Here and Now, griefers shooting a crowd"<br />
or<br />
"Griefers 4PM, shot people, gone now"<br />
or<br />
"Harrassing me now, won't leave my house"<br />
or<br />
"Griefer yesterday left objects on parcel"<br />
<br />
8) Details<br />
<br />
Your abuse report will reach the Lindens with an automatic date and time stamp showing when it was sent. You do not need to give the date, time, and coordinates of the griefing episode if the automatially entered information is accurate.

<br />
Example of "Details":<br />
<br />
"4 PM today Rosebud 110, 30, 31 Ratsucker Hax shot 6 guests out of my shop. 4:04 PM he returned and covered my property with a large black object or cloud."<br />
<br />
"9 PM Ratsucker Hax came to my party here, naked and wearing a giant penis. Ignored repeated requests to leave. Harrassed my guests. Chat excerpt:<br />

<br />
IF THE GRIEFER KNOWS I REPORTED HIM, CAN HE TRACK ME DOWN AND BOTHER ME?<br />

<div>REPORT ALL GRIEFERS<br />
<br />
A. Executive summary of this notecard: <br />
<br />
To report griefing, go to Help at the Top of your screen. If you were shot or shoved or constrained, check Bumps Pushes and Hits to see who did it. Then, also in Help, select Report Abuse and fill out the AR (Abuse Report) form.<br />
<br />
B. Details:<br />
<br />
WHAT ARE GRIEFERS<br />
Griefers are people who deliberately interfere with other people's legitimate enjoyment of an activity; <br />
or <br />
who pursue their own fun with wreckless disregard for negative effects on bystanders. <br />
<br />
You can report abusive behavior to Linden Labs. Multiple reports lead to the griefer being suspended from Second Life for a time, or possibly being permanently banned.<br />
<br />
<br />
USE THE AR (Abuse Report) TO REPORT A GRIEFER<br />
<br />
1) If griefers are pushing you around or shooting at you, quickly sit on the ground or on something belonging to you. Normally griefers cannot move you while you sit. If they are using malicious objects, hover your pointer over the object to see the owner's name. <br />
<br />
2) Quickly write down your location (region, XYZ coordinates). If you can tell who the griefer is, write their name quickly on a piece of paper. Don't bother to engage the griefer in conversation or argument. It just gratifies them and delays your report.<br />
<br />
3) Go to HELP at the top of your SL screen.<br />
<br />
If you have just been forced out of your location or position, by shoving or with a weapon (scripted object), select BUMPS, PUSHES, & HITS. The abuser's name will probably be listed there. . Be careful -- there are many innocent bumps sometimes, from people who accidentally walk into you.<br />

<br />
<br />
USE THE AR (Abuse Report) TO REPORT A GRIEFER<br />

Repeatedly walking into someone (not by mistake);<br />
<br />
Using a weapon to push people out of a location where they have a right to be;<br />

<div>Mute the needy.<br />
<br />
It sounds cruel but the best thing you can do when a stranger in SL comes to you with a RL crisis is to mute them.<br />
Two reasons.<br />
<br />
One: a certain percentage of people who bring you sad stories are just bored, lying trolls. They mock you even as you try to be kind; they waste your time; they get nothing but entertainment from you. We should not give them that satisfaction.<br />
<br />
Two: (and this is of course the important one) People with bad problems in RL need to get help in RL.<br />
<br />
A girl who tells you she is alone and has just overdosed needs to get AWAY from the computer. She needs to call 911 (if she's in the USA) or, if she can't or won't do that, she needs to get out in public where someone can call 911 for her, or at least see her when she passes out.<br />
<br />
A guy who says he wants to kill himself because he gave AIDS to his girlfriend needs to talk to a priest, or phone a crisis center, or go to an emergency room of a hospital. Anyone who says they cannot do these things......may not want to do them, but in fact can. If he can use a computer to play SL, he can Google "crisis center" for his city, or call a taxi to get to a hospital.<br />
<br />
Every minute that you engage a person in SL, you are keeping them away from what they need to do in RL. If you are not a trained crisis counselor, you are likely to say something which, however well intentioned, is harmful. Even for trained crisis counselors, it is hard to be effective online and over long distances. Engaging with a stranger in crisis in SL probably does not help. It is probably bad for them. Don't do it.<br />
<br />
And the emotional energy that you spend interacting with a person in crisis in SL is also bad for you. You do not want a deeply screwed up person depending on you for their happiness or their life. Think about it. You do NOT want this. And you do not have to accept that role, however much someone may seem to want you to do so. There are thousands of opportunities to help relieve the suffering in the world, and you have the right to choose which ones you will take. No one, even a person in crisis, has the right to force you into a role you do not choose.<br />
<br />
THE BEST THING to do -- best thing for the troll, best thing for the person with a true problem, and best thing for yourself -- is to refuse to engage. Briefly urge the person to get RL help, and then get out of the interaction.<br />
<br />
" I'm sorry, it sounds like a tough situation. But I'm totally sure you can get some good help. You can call 911 or go to the emergency room or phone a minister? But I am afraid to talk with you about it in SL. I'm afraid I might delay you from getting help. You need to leave SL and get real help. So I think the best thing I should do for you is, I better end this conversation. Go get help in RL, please, please. I'm going to mute you now."<br />
<br />
And then, do it.</div>Bau Ur
