I was flying across Cook at least a hundred meters up, nowhere near anyone's house or skybox or anythin. Some kind of "Home Security Orb" threw me half a sim away one way and threw my plane god knows where, and when I went back to try and find it I got ejected with a message claimin I hadn't left after being warned!

Lookin' at my log, ah got a warnin alright. It ejected me THEN it warned me!

[6:42] You have been ejected from this land.
[6:45] HomeSecurity Orb v5.11: You have 10 seconds to clear this area. (Psyke's Defense Systems 'HomeSecurity')
[6:50] You have been ejected from this land.

How come this kind of shenanigans is allowed? I don't reckon you should have to worry about being attacked by robots just flying around in open air botherin nobody and nothin... I don't butt in where I'm not wanted, and being accused by a damn robot just makes my blood boil.

Will 1.11 help with security bots?

"Added Help > Bumps, Pushes and Hits which shows recent actions"

That include "eject" and other "security" attacks?

In case of any miscommunication--or a misprogrammed bot--it's a good idea to check with the landowner or creator of said security bot. Sometimes there are other things which may confuse the situation, like if the region's experiencing transient poor performance, thus sending you the warning *after you get booted.

Repeating the process will surely help solidify things; as frustrating as it may be, you'll have the confidence of knowing more.

No, parcel ejects won't be displayed in the new "Added Help > Bumps, Pushes and Hits which shows recent actions"; they'll still continue to be displayed in Chat History.

Best of hope with this. :)
