Do you feel justice is served?

Your first suggestion(s) seemed more appropriate to me. The best possible defense against a griefer is to welcome the griefer.

The word "griefer" is really informative and telling in this regard. If the griefer sees no apparent -grief- being caused, there is no point in him/her continuing. He/she will move on to the next unsuspecting target until some actual grief is encountered.

I know this might not apply to all situations -- certainly a team of griefers utterly devastating a popular sim is not the kind of thing that can be beat with a "ha ha, funny" response -- but smaller-scale griefing is absolutely best handled this way.

There is little justice to be found in the current AR system. For example, I see today there are 2 suspensions on the police blotter for distributing a real life pic of a member, and I know others have been reported for doing the same thing but received no sanction whatsoever; not even a warning.

I know this because the woman who did this passed real life pictures to me, along with copies of intimate chats, but when confronted by the subject of the privacy invasion she blamed me in order to save her own ass. I know with absolute certainty that chat logs and history are not checked by LL because I received a warning for passing out real life information when I was actually the recipient.

I AR'd her but she was not scanctioned, even though I had the chats and pictures she had passed to me and could prove my innocence. I appealed my own unfair sanction but received no response from LL and no correction. The member who submitted the AR contacted LL to withdraw his complaint upon learning the truth, and still, even after the withdrawal of the AR due to mistake, no correction and no justice.

I drone on about evenhanded enforcement and application of the rules because I know how injustice arising from disregard, or favoritism feels.

There is a current thread providing notice of an exploit that has elicited a gracious thank you reply from one Linden, but just one week ago a member who warned of another exploit received a harsh three day suspension.

The uneven application of the rules, and erratic issuance of sanctions, results in injustice, not justice.

I am no way trying to be rude, but the only way for me to explain this is to talk plainly without taking your feelings into account.. kk, so don't take offense...

I have tried on more than one occasion to explain to you ppl how to get them to stop griefing anyone of you... I told you guys that disabling push was a mistake...

The ppl that grief have NO obligations to you, NO respect for you, and therefore you get to be their fun, like a little kid pulling the wings off a fly.. sorry.. but best way to describe it

obviously your responses are not helping, or doing crap to your situation... and in fact some of you are acting like victims and extending the length of time... (want to point out there is a diff between a real victim and someone acting a victim)

if i was you i would make it into a joke, joke around them when they come.. tell em that was a good one or whatever.. if you don't care and treat them like they aren't anything to worry about they will leave you alone.. Now would like to point out ignorning... that is enough to even get me to bug the hell out of someone just for the simple fact..

Ok, there is more but you get the pic..

Also.. I would cage them and harrass the shit out of them... AND if they ar'd me... i would come to the forum and do everything but name them and ridicule them.. hey i would even post screen shots... you know why? cause i know some of them read the forums... and they'll come and get u again.. to save face.. but than they'll look for an easier target... but it is very unlucky that they will ar you... and learn to take it with either grace or with decorum..

but thats just my opnion
