Sooo..I'm in a sandbox rather enjoying myself and a borgcube or jello pudding bomb goes off

I know we've all been there , we all read the the who to lodge a complaint against the newly rezed avi thats about be kids with their kiddiots scripts, what I want to talk about is not
the complaint process.

I only build in private sandboxes, and rarely there. Most of the time I am on my own land.

Otherwise I just sit on something and _perhaps_ raise an eyebrow. Once. Usually, if I am building in public, I will be sitting on a nonphys vehicle in the first place.

A particularly egregious attack may cause me to say "tsk".

Could this conversation be continued in a more appropriate forum please? This one is for people who want help developing their scripts and scripting skills. Perhaps the Resident Answers forum would be more suitable.

I bet you even have an animation for raising an eyebrow....I can just imagine that! :D
I'd also recommend use of a nonphysical vehicle-it does not even have to be visible.

(And as *we* can't move the thread, sorry, Hewee...)

Perhaps start a new thread in an appropriate place, link to it from here, and then stop bringing this thread to the top of the forum.

I can't find a script related question in your OP post. Lemmee try.... Hmmm..... "What scripts do you use in order to defend yourself against griefers?" .... Something like that? =^-^=

In response to something like that... I say, don't. The moment a griefer gets a bump/collision detect or anything they could twist and spin into an AR, they won't hesitate to do so. There is no scripted solution to a griefing without becoming a neatly banable griefer yourself. (=_=)y

Not at all. Here you are in Resident Answers, where you will not get script tips, but behaviorial analysis, which is what you really wanted. Or, what you're going to get, anyway. :D

I have to admit, at least part of my fondness for Snape is that Alan Rickman looks like early 90s Trent Reznor's dad in the movies. :D

a reasonable answer...from the realm of technique..
how about. 1 - channel scanning styles 2 - channel collisions, new thread to discuss?
or as the havok engine decides if you cant see it the don't render (thus my umbrella)

I understand that the metheods to fight back can be considered as dark as the oppositions
arsenal..but I'll be damned if I will not gird my self and try.

And Snape ..rocks

I avoid any sandbox Linden owned for building nowadays. Which sucks, since I used to love being around other builders and sharing tips/tools/whatever. Sadly, I was spending entirely too much time ARing and not enough time building.

I almost dedicatedly use the NCI Kuula sandbox. There's always a crowd of great builders around. Build time is often blended with play time. And there's normally 'round the clock security and help available. Most griefers are a short lived sort there... Unless the griefing is entertaining enough. =^-^=

I do not play in sandboxes.....cats poop in them.

But....if I do run in to any kind of problem with a griefer type....which is almost less then rarely....I have this nifty device that cause other avatars to fart.....really loudly with a poof of noxious particles emitting from their bottom. It's quite fun.....and so hard to find a good excuse to use it so..... :p go ahead...grief me, I dare ya. phew....you stiiiiiiinnnnkkkkk....
