I won't bother with details, since most of you are in a "tear any idea to shreads' policy, I'll just give you the broadstrokes.

Objectives: Monitor the grid for signs of self-replication bots (easily doable, it's just matter of scalability, spot the warning signs, report the person and subsequently orbit their candy asses and fill their inventory with their own spawning devices.

Implementation:
Provided no showstoppers we'll be monitoring the entire mainland and subcontinents within the week. Islands will be offered the same service for a small weekly fee.

Why the Appology: Cause we still have to fine-tune the heuristics so we don't kill someone every time they fire a gun.

A plan which involves violating the TOS probably isn't a very good one.

I also won't bother with details. I'll return or delete any objects place don my land.

Actually someone already has. All they need to do is type in a name on a notecard and they can scan the whole grid with scanners. I'm not giving out the name though, so don't even try. :p

Objectives: and subsequently orbit their candy asses and fill their inventory with their own spawning devices.



1) Start Grid attack
2) Get orbited
3) laugh as you fall from great height, deriving extra pleasure from the reaction of others.
4) File an abuse report against the person who orbited you, just for fun.
5) laugh some more as your inventory fills, since the account is getting banned anyway.

Or, for extra fun:

1) Setup someone else to take blame by giving them an object with a malicious script in it.
2) Laugh
3) Watch Burke's good squad ruin that persons inventory.
4) Laugh some more

1. slice land up if you can for rez areas.
2. make land either "no create" or "no outside scripts"
3. if you have to leave land open, like a mall, use the "land filler" script to keep your land close to full.

grey-goo atacks are a symtom and will continue until we get better LSL commands.

You simply can't do what you say with LSL. You would have to use a local program and have an account that gives you rights to return objects for that piece of land.

4. Watch your stuff vanish as people lob prims on your land and the autoreturn starts returning it by mistake.

So can the rest of us create a group that will stop you from doing your violation of the TOS?

I don't really care if you orbit them, but if you're going to run a tight loop calling llGiveInventory, all you're going to do is make a bad situation (super load on the asset server) worse.

I meant by orbiting the physical objects they created, which tend to go offworld at 4km. :D

Well, from an asset server position, that's just as bad... When things go offworld, they get returned.

Note Kelly Linden's response here...

Returning gray goo won't slow it down unless it just started right then on your parcel and it hasn't spread to any adjoining parcels. Ditto no-build/no-scripts. Once gray goo has been around for a minute or two, the stuff replicates too fast and moves too quickly for anything short of Linden intervention to stop it.
