Freezing, banning, and ejecting are tools that landholders may use to deal with troublemakers on their property. In order to freeze, eject, or ban someone, you must either:

  • Own the land OR
  • On group-owned land, you must be in the same group the land is owned by, in a Role with the following Abilities:
    • Eject and freeze Residents on parcels
    • Manage parcel Ban lists - You also need this to ban (in addition to ejecting and freezing).

Freezing someone

  1. Right click on the person and select More > Freeze.
  2. Select Freeze from the list of options that pops up.

You may also release a frozen avatar with Unfreeze from this list. A frozen person cannot move, interact with objects or chat. They can still send and receive IMs.

Ejecting someone

  1. Right click and select More > Eject.
  2. Select Eject from the list of options that pops up.

You may also choose to save time with Eject & Ban, which will eject the avatar and add them to the ban list.The avatar will be ejected from your land onto an adjacent parcel of land. If they are already banned from the adjacent parcel, they will not be moved.

Banning someone

If the avatar is on your land, you may wish to follow the Eject procedure above, and use Eject & Ban from the list of Eject options. Otherwise, follow this procedure:

  1. View the About Land window for the parcel by selecting World > About Land from the menus at the top of the Second Life window.
  2. Click the Ban tab.
  3. Make sure Ban These Avatars is checked.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Type in the desired name and click Find.
  6. Click on the desired name in the list, then click Select.
  7. You may now enter another name, or click Close.

A banned person is not able to move onto or over your land (less than 800m above the ground level). They see a barrier of red lines, stretching upwards, that say "Access Denied."
