	Other griefers are specialized in more brutal actions and like to be called themselves ''terrorists''. If they are to be considered so, they are the most stupid and irresponsible of all residents. Some of their actions are:

	*Abusive usage of simulator resources (as a result, lag increases in a sim up to incredible levels, other scripts run at 2%)
	*Blocking traffic (roads, railways, waterways, usually with the help of abusive use of simulator resources)
	*Sim-size disturbing the piece (with a particle/message generator that can overwhelm an entire sim with particle jets, instant messages, sounds and chat messages)
	*Replicants (objects that can self-replicate). These ones can take control of an entire area and if nobody takes action, they can cover a [[Subcontinent]].

	~~=== Intermediary griefer attacks ===~~

	A very common technique used by many griefers is to offer free products (inworld or on marketplace). When a resident purchases this and decides to rezz or wear it, the attack takes place. Rezzed object can be a replicant or can harass others (and the new owner) with messages. There have been reported cases when residents had to auto-return all objects on their land because they rezzed one small, invisible, self-replicative object that kept on sending chat messages and consumed all their land resources.

Strife Onizuka: Did you get permission from the creator of that image to upload it? Considering that image is of someone well known, your assertion that they are a griefer while inadvisable is also defamatory.
