Class Title: Keeping to the Tao in trying situations

Start Time: Saturday, January 19 9:00 (9:00 AM) SLT

Length: 60 - 90 Minutes

Location: SL volunteer HI sandbox. Max 25 people to ensure we can address questions

Description: This class will focus on how to make the best of situations such as griefers, harrassment, innapropriate conduct etc. Many Mentors find themselves in situations where members, especially new ones, look to us for guidance, and also see how we deal with these trying situations.

This class will cover:

1. Basic conflict resolution - how to deal peaceably with people.
2. How to use the client menu to disable particle effects, animations, and most effects of griefer attacks.
3. The use of tools such as non-phys, and sit to use to avoid orbits, floats, cages, and other such attacks.
4. How to properly file an Abuse Report.

But most of all we will focus on how to stay positive and present a professional attitude when dealing with such things.

Pre-Requisites: It is asked that all attendees, both new and old, take the time to refamiliarize themselves with the Tao, and come to class with a positive and open disposition :)
