Security Orb Recs Needed

I enjoyed your party.. I was being very good!

I always love your way of thinking. When can you organize this?

I totally disagree with this. How ever is a new resident, who's just teleported to the mainland for the first time and signed up because he/she heard about the groovy thing called Second Life where the content is all user created and you can explore and do all kids of stuff, supposed to know where they are and aren't allowed to go? The only clue they get is a forest of banlines and security orb warnings -- how welcoming and fascinating! Unlike RL, there are no roads so that they can cruise through neighborhoods to look without tresapassing. There are no signs telling them where they can and cannot go. There are no gated areas with sentries checking admittance. How ever is anybody to distinguish what is "ok" and what isn't?

supposed to know where they are and aren't allowed to go?

Personality and common sense?

I do remember stumbling into what I realized much, much later was a private home when I was new, but then only because it was basically an open roofed area next to a Linden road. Other than that I just stuck to Search / Places and by the time I started to randomly wander around I had already learned to tell private from public.

But just remember that if everybody used an orb then exploring Second Life would become pointless because we would have to constantly keep moving.

Albert knows!

Some time ago I saw a post here about a security bee Hive. I went there and got it, actually is a good device, it will make everyone unwanted leave in a hurry , and don´t send people up in the air, just a hive of wasps chasing them till they leave the limits you set.


And its fun to watch too, you can turn it on just when you need more privacy, or keep it on, people can fly by your land, just can´t stay, have fun

...meanwhile, anyone wanting to stalk another person can just cam into your house and take snapshots without your even knowing. There is no privacy in SL and anyone thinking that ban lines or security orbs will give them privacy is deluding theirself. Get real here guys!

Some people have an odd notion of privacy - demanding an absolute privacy not even available in RL or declaring htere is none at all. You think the FBI can't "cam" in your house if it really wants to - and bug your phone and open your mail and in generaol carry on worse than any peeping tom in SL can? Get real about your notion of privacy - at least come up with a version of it that can exist!

I hate ban lines - I don't mind people flying over my property or even walking through it, I just don't want them coming into the house uninvited. I have a 30 second warning, so people will only get ejected if they outstay that time - and 30 secs is plenty of time to walk through or fly over my little patch of land.

Ok, I've been one of those people who really hasn't wanted to protect my property. No ban lines, no orbs, nada.

But lately, for some reason, I've had a flurry of people flying into my property for no apparent reason. I've been living here for months, and never saw a single soul land anywhere near here by accident. Now, they are landing like fleas.

Still, I'm patient. Even the other day, when some newbie kept walking around my land. She said she was having trouble TP'ing, so I was patient with her, but she kept coming back, so I began to be suspect.

Tonight was the final straw. I'm in the bedroom, with "He Who Will Not Be Named In the Forum" (even though half of you know who it is). Just hanging out, talking (get your dirty minds out of the gutter). Some skeleton looking guy walks in, nonchalently and stands in front of us. Just stands there. Looking.

I tell the guy, "GET OUT". But, of course, he does not. He probably thinks he's about to get a free show.

I say to said HWWNBNITF, in private IM "WTF?" He didn't even notice the guy there, he was so deep into talking to me. I'm like, there is some skeleton looking guy standing right over the bed! Leave it to us women, to notice when there is a creepy guy in the bedroom that doesn't belong there!

He quickly ejects and bans him.

Ok fine, that takes care of that.

But the jerk IM's me and wants to know, why we ejected him! Duh! I'm like, you walked into our bedroom! He says "oh, I did it by mistake!" I'm like "no, you don't walk into people's bedrooms "by mistake"; that was on purpose. You had to walk up a flight of stairs and walk through and OPEN door and clearly saw us laying in bed!" Etc. I enjoyed a little bit of a shake down with him.

Anyway, I've decided, enough is enough. No more unknowns walking in on me. I'm not looking for something to harm people, just something to gently tap them on the shoulder and say "please move on"

Any suggestions?

I hate them too. Absolutely will not use them. I was flying around today, checking out some land in other areas, and ran into a few security orbs which gave you 60 seconds, and had very nice warning messages. Quite polite in fact. I had landmarked those plots, so maybe I should take another flight around and purposely fly into those areas again to see what brand orb they were. 60 seconds, would be pretty good, because my bedroom is on the second floor, and I assume someone would most likely take that long to get up there, spending some time on the ground floor poking around before they realized there was a 2nd floor. And, it is the 2nd floor, which concerns me the most.
