Are you a SL land or home-owner, who is being plagued by poseball pirates who constantly use your sex furniture without permission? Are you a store owner who is weary of continually having to bleach and disinfect your display items simply because they happen to have a couple of adult poses in them? Well fear no more! Eliminate those pesky humper-hoppers and bedroom-bandits forever with a GuardKid child av! For a reasonable fee and access to your refrigerator, one of our kids will stand guard over your house or showroom floor, ever vigilant, watching for pornographic pests. Able to deter most copulating creeps by virtue of their mere presence alone, GuardKid child avs give you more options for dealing with the more persistent pervs by making their activities an inarguable and actionable violation of the SL Terms of Sevice and Community Standards. Our agents will make an evidential record and official Abuse Report for each witnessed violation, the nature of which will ensure swift action by Linden Labs. No more inaction or indifference from LL! No more having to burn your sheets! Put down that can of Lysol and pick up the phone NOW!


...OK, so that was fun to type up. However, I'm actually curious about this sort of scenario, from an ethical/moral/TOS standpoint. I'm sure no one would argue that if, as a kid av, I'm in my own house and two people suddenly TP in and start banging in front of me, I'm within my rights to AR them. But what about the situation above? Is it unethical to use a child av to deter this sort of behavior? Is it unethical to file an AR on those who persist and are not deterred? Having sex around a child av is certainly an AR'able offense by itself, but does it become an "abuse" of the AR system when you're specifically using a child av because you know LL will likely react faster to an AR because of that circumstance? I mean, I guess if you're normally an adult av, and these people show up and don't leave when you ask them, it's likely not very honorable to very suddenly change INTO a child avatar and quickly take a picture and send an AR before they realize what's going on (although I still wouldn't feel very sorry for the intruders if they had already refused to leave when you asked them). But if you're a child avatar all the time, like me...does a proper, acceptable AR if it were my house become an improper, unacceptable AR if it's somebody else's house and I've been hired to take such action against intruders?

Opinions, please.

Here's an even better one, if you can put this into practice.

I seem to recall seeing an add-on script you can pick up at Bits & Bobs and drop into your adult poses. Not an authorized user? You are forced to unsit. End of problem.

There's all kind of potential here.

Firstly, young man, think Automation: Those GuardKids don't have to be real pretend kids, they can be *bot* pretend kids!

And if they're all automated anyway, they may as well be Group-Invite GuardKidBots.

While they're at it, they could also enforce the "Add us to your Profile Picks to activate our poseballs" rule.

Or "Grant PERMISSION_DEBIT or lose your account for being seen with a nekkid underage AV."

GuardKidNapBots.

Good points, Qie....all kinds of untapped potential.

Not sure a bot can AR, though - at least, not while it's a bot...there's no way for the bot to let the botowner know something AR'able is happening, unless the botowner is actively looking, in which case it's not technically a bot. Or something.

Knowing LL they'd blame the problem on the GuardKids...not the interlopers.

I don't know about that. It sounds like the opposite of babysitting. Bring a kid into your house to protect it from strangers! I think it would be fun to see the reactions but not that effective. Plus you'd also scare away real customers.

Heh.

I created a product that orbited you if you used a poseball without the owner present, but Havok4 kind of nerfed it so I pulled it.

On today's list.

Place security orb at the mainland lot so those ban lines can be removed. Would love to see their reaction when booted out of the bubblebath.
Buy another security orb for the new residence.

Don't know...

People are welcome in my house as long they are polite and show respect to me and my belongings.
Sure I don't see what happens there when I am not online. But if they trespass the two rooms with locked doors (the bedroom and my photostudio) I will know it. Both rooms have visitors counters installed, that IM 's me when someone enters those rooms (and my IM's are passed through to mail).
I will ban them on next log on and sent them a IM why. With that it is over for me.

No need for kidguards, security balls or whatever.

Morwen.

Fankly, I wish more people would come to the jPose shop and play with the items tastefully arranged for their enjoyment. No purchase (or clothing) necessary. Chat in open, IM, or not, as you prefer. This policy remains in effect as long as it works out.

Ok, maybe not so tastefully arranged, but definitely set out for everyone's enjoyment.

I don't care if people find their way to my home and play around with the toys. Hell, somebody should enjoy them!

I can think of much worse things than orbiting.
Have the poseball make them go into the most unerotic, flaccid-making animations you can imagine.
Or bang their heads on the walls.


But then, some people might actually like that - the word would get around and you'd become a specialist tourist attraction. :(

That sort of might be too much of way of get people to not buy your product too.
Truthfully though most sex or sex pose balls you sort of need to test them out to see if
they are worth the money.
I wouldn't have spent as much money at Bit and Bobs without the ability to try out the poses
but it was done just for testing purposes clothed, their was nothing was sexual or kinky about it for me.

I would drag out my kid avatar for a job but I would be bit afraid I get all my accounts
frozen and banned for doing a job like that.

The chicken dance? I would seriously LOL if I saw that as a bystander.

Why not just make a no sit script that the owner can say on or off to the script.Drop it in all your sex pose balls. when avatar sits on object they are immediately removed from object

Thump and Bump script

Why not? Because it might stop the animation, but it won't stop the offenders. Come on, you know what these people are like. They will stand there, with their freenis or sliders-at-100 chests just out there flopping around while they click, and click, and click, because they don't "get it" that they're not going to be able to hop the poseballs. They'll think it's lag, and they'll sit there and either wait or keep trying, while spamming local chat with things like "Y CANT MAK HAPPY PARTI???????". Unacceptable! These are the kinds of people that, if SL were a Java chat room, would be posting with bold-italic-underlined 26pt font in bright red. Subtle doesn't make it with them.

I recommend a security orb. Simple problem, simple solution.

I find that I don't have to leave it on most of the time. If I start seeing a problem, I turn it on for a week or so, and the problem goes away.
