The profile for the cubes' owner states, in full, "i am drunk". I must, however, agree with the sentiment that newbie herding is not a crime, provided that the culling process is humane.

This comes from the same "kid" that thinks it is ok to stack 5x5x5 temp on rez rotating cubes from the ground to over 700m on a 16m plot of land.

I am not entirely certain what newbie herding is.....
However I am absolutely convinced that ppl who start voting threads like this should be put in a 16sq mt as plot surrounded by an electric fence with freebie cattle prods available for the very irritated on the perimeter _____________________

Isn't newbie herding what Trout does when he hangs out in freebie areas asking the just rezzed females if they want to learn how to use poseballs?

What exactly do you do with herds of newbies? It's those guys trying to collect their 72 virgins early, I think. And I suppose they do the same thing to them they'd do to one virgin. |

With the sheer volume of ppl online who are [always] talking about the ethical and moral implications of newbie herding i thought it was something everyone knew about.
For those who do not know, Newbie Herding is a method of building up armies of loyal customers (through) the use of viral mentoring. Your minions of mentoring hang out in infohubs where new users are 'born' and you teach them things, give them things, gain [their] trust and love and then direct market them on where to shop and what to buy and whom to buy it from. There are many groups that do this, each with [their] own set of clients and goals for what they want all the newbies they herd to do. _____________________

(fixed) I unoffically herd newbies to the places I went for freebies. I have no ulterior motive except to let them benefit from the things I found. If someone knows how I can make money off helping newbies, please let me know!  just kidding.  |

I was thinking of that game we used to play with AFK people. Rez a large hollow transparent cylander around them, set it physical, and then drag the cylander (and their bodies) where you want them.
This was great fun on a sky platform, as you could slowly shove people off. _____________________

OK, it's like what I said: It's what they would do to one virgin, if they had one. |
