Oh come on! I have at least a little bit of taste. It spoils the moment if I have to teach them how to click on the pose balls.

I dont mind the 'ur hawt' one as much as I was annoyed with the "I heard you could f--- here, how do I f---?" and then the obligatory "do u want to f---?" The worst one was a guy asking how he could, well, go to the wash room *cough* on someone and why his lil man didnt match his skin. I told him to use search and find the appropriate place to do such things and to knock it off as he was in a PG area. My laugh for the day was his reply "Ok, thank you!" poof.

Give the perverted pixelated pinheads a landmark to Waterhead. They will fit in there... the crowd there punts you into the next sim if you look like a 'noob'.

You could try, "oh you sound so much fun, you are getting me exicited, brb in a sec, just got to put the grandkids to bed."
Or "What do you mean I look like a girl, I thought the male AV was me." "Here's the LM for my place, strip off and meet me there." Insert LM for BDSM sissyboy dungeon. _____________________

OK, let's think. Where is the absolute worst place we can send these mutants to? We can give them a Landmark to it, tell them it's our place and we'll send them there. Gor. and tell them to go up to the girls kneeling next to the Big Dude in leather. any Combat Sim/Sandbox with push enabled Midian one thing i have learned from these forums that indeed does work like a charm is to tell them ok, then attach a "surprise" and say ok im ready, boy they sure do tp away fast! ![]() _____________________
There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Maggie, I've found that attaching that 'surprise' really really really disturbs the would be casanovas. Putting one on almost always generates a swift request to remove it. Leaving it on makes for great entertainment.

A good thing to think about perhaps is that these Rico Suave guys wont be after jaded SL vets like Bree or Maggie.
They are going to be after the pure noobie girl .. because she is uncomfortable, and in new surroundings. So any solution really has to work for someone whose SL legs are a bit shaky and doesn't hardly know how to do anything in SL. And anything cutsie or roleplaying is just going to encourage the guy. |

lol brilliant suggestions on here.
I have never really had much trouble with them. Even on OI it wasn't that bad. Maybe i should have a go at hunting them down with my alt in a newbie avvie and try out some of these suggestions lol. ![]() Speaking of OI. Has the avatar creation thing changed? i ended up at Orientation Station wen I created my alt. I had the option of ben and jerrys and CSI and suff too. It takes you to an entirely different place to OI. _____________________
I'll miss this damn place.I'll be over at SCII after the end has come. |

I spent some time last night helping a friend get started in SL by sitting beside her at the computer. She picked the female "nightclub" avatar to start out with. No more than two seconds after she arrived on Orientation Island, some guy came over and started trying to pick her up. He had all the best A/S/L lines: "Where r u from?" and "How old r u?" And the best one of all, "u r hawt." Never mind that there were probably at least 10 other identical avatars within a 20 meter radius. So as a first lesson, I showed my friend how to click on people and view profiles, and we found out he was over a month old. Is this common now for people create alts and linger forever in the Orientation trying to pick up newbies? And is this really the first impression LL wants people to have of SL? They do it to the Mentors too. I kind of pity them when this happens to me. I find not taking any notice at all works just fine. |

I'd never get rid of the buggers, it's bad enough as it is! |

That's why I have a alt on OI. I chat to them, tell them it's not all about sex. If they're polite back I give them half decent skins and hair and a folder of decent clothes. If a female is getting the wrong attention I usually divert the guy away and IM the girl and tell here that once in SL, that she'll find a lot of friendly people in there, however sadly IMing at that stage doesn't seem to work well, hardly any reply.
Oh I can divert the guy and chat easily to the women because I use a female av there too. I think the best policy is to try at least to turn potential griefers into reasonable residents of SL then make them more likely to continue on the griefer route. Tips for the male 'kids', tell them about Super Hero groups, Sci-Fi groups, SIMs with shooting and I NEVER tell them about GOR. _____________________

The sex thing is so overly hyped out there you can't blame a lot of them. If they persist, Cherry's Ignore strategy is a good idea, saving the nuclear option as a last resort. _____________________

Didn't work for me once. The guy understood very little English and I think he only understood the one word which made things worse. ![]() rofl Good point. Including that word might encourage them. |

I mentioned this in another thread, if they persist in talking dirty I finally tell them that I'm a guy in RL, strangely none have said I'm a pervert and nearly all continue to try and 'F*ck me' at that point I move on or relog. _____________________

Dekka you must have a really pretty avatar for guys to persist. Maybe they think you're lying. Then you get into the whole problem of proving that you're not a girl.
For the record, when I meet a newbie who is looking for sex I give them an 'organ' if they don't have one and send them to an orgy place. I send them... but I don't follow. It certainly gets them out of a pg area and into a mature sim that's specifically for such things. Since these are newbies that wouldn't know a thing about resizing or changing the color of their organ I will sometimes try to put it on and edit it to 'match'. Apparently putting it on and sitting quietly in edit mode seems to bring out their worst fears. |
