How do I keep people off my land?
A bit of a Second Life recluse? Someone in particular giving you a hard time? You can exercise your rights as a Second Life landowner by restricting access to your property.
Allowing Access For Specific People
- Right-click your parcel of land and choose About Land.
- Click the Access tab.
- Select the Group checkbox to restrict access so only group members may enter. (Go to the General tab and click Set to change this group.)
- Or, select the Avatars checkbox and enter specific Residents who may access the property.
Block Specific People from Access
- Right-click your parcel of land and choose About Land.
- Click the Ban tab.
- Select the Ban Avatars checkbox and enter specific Residents who may not access the property.
Maturity Settings
Note: Maturity blocking is available at the Region level for Private Regions. Parcel maturity settings do not affect access. They are used for search listing maturity. Maturity settings for land on a Private Region can be used to allow only Residents with a select maturity level or higher.
- If your land is set to Adult, only those with a PG, Mature and Adult maturity preference setting can enter the land.
- If the land is set to Mature, only those with a PG and Mature preference setting can enter your land.
- If your land is set to PG, all Residents can enter your land.
For additional information about maturity ratings, see Maturity ratings: an overview. If you would like to access Adult land and have not verified your account, see How to become verified as an adult for information. Non-verified Residents can toggle between PG and PG and Mature ratings. Verified accounts include a PG, Mature and Adult rating. See Setting your maturity preferences for information.
Script Use
You can use scripted objects to enhance your land ownership tools. Generally, such scripts should:
- Provide adequate warning to the undesired Resident.
- Only work within the property lines (this includes projectiles that cannot operate beyond the parcel boundaries).
- Not be excessive in the removal of the unwanted Resident. Pushing them off the property or teleporting them home is usually acceptable; intentionally applying a script to disrupt their Second Life connection or online status is not allowed.
Scripts or no scripts, you cannot use land ownership as a way to unfairly restrict another Second Life Resident's personal freedoms.
