What is a Green Lantern?
Green Lantern is a character who has been around the comic book universe since 1940. In the current DC comics, the Green Lantern Corps is an intergalactic police force. The power ring worn by each Green Lantern, described as "the most powerful weapon in the universe," can create anything its wearer can imagine.
Who are The Green Lanterns?
The Green Lanterns is a group that can be described in basic terms as a Neighborhood Watch in Second Life. We dress as members of the Green Lantern Corps from the comics, and patrol the grid looking for those in need of help. We assist new residents in making the transition from Real Life into Second Life. We submit Abuse Reports to Linden Lab when griefers attack. We educate landowners about security arrangements. We provide security patrols for Second Life events. We offer free training and uniforms to new members. The Green Lanterns stand between innocent residents and those who would do them harm.
What is the code of ethics of The Green Lanterns?
We adhere to several standard ethical principles.
- We never attack anyone, even to fight back in self defense if we are attacked. That constitutes Assault, item #3 of the Community Standards "Big Six" behavioral guidelines. Attacking another resident makes us no better than the attacker.
- We never use our group's equipment, uniform or title for personal gain.
- We never represent ourselves as having any power beyond that of a regular resident.
- We are a volunteer organization, and as such we never solicit or accept payment for our services.
