So I log on to my home the other day, which, while it doesn't have ban lines wrapped around the property, nor does it have signs around saying Private Property, is pretty obviously a private home and workshop. There are vendors around, but the living area, expecially the bedroom is obviously... well, a bedroom. There is only one bed, with a hidden sexgen base in it. (Sometimes, I like to entertain...) It's also on the top of a treehouse, on top of a mountain, above the cloudline. It's pretty secluded.
Also, it's pretty open plan, so, no doors.
Anyway, I log on and see that there are two people... getting busy in my bed. I felt a bit like Goldilocks!
So, I leave them be for a while, catching up on IMs and the like, figgering they might notice me and say something, or leave or whatever.
No such luck. I continue chatting with friends for a while. I told them about it and we had a little giggle and shared a little outrage over the fact that someone would just walk into someone's house and start banging away. Even more so, that they weren't keeping an eye out for the owner!
So, having a bit of a wicked sense of humour, my friend shoots me over a prop movie camera and, having a wickeder sense of humour myself, I spawn it and move it up into my room.
Now, this had the desired effect and they quickly hopped up and got dressed. Mr. comes downstairs and bangs into me, then ignores me when I say hello. "No, sorry" he says before he takes off.
"Well, at least he apologised" I say to myself and think nothing of it.
In the immortal words of Mr. Steve Martin... "But NOOOOOOOOO...."
I get an IM from him, outraged that I would do "such a thing" and telling me that, because I don't have signs around saying "Private Property" ('cuz that's always attractive!) or banlines (Which I'm sure my neighbors would love), that they are allowed to do whatever they want and, pretty much that I have to put up signs if I want it considered private.
It got a little ruder afterwards, and a little more outlandish, but ended with me just rolling my eyes and thanking him for the suggestions.
End of story?
Aw, HELL no. Tonight, I get another disgruntled IM, this time from Little Miss, denouncing me for my behaviour (on my own land... which they were humping on...) and then threatening an AR. I, of course, laughed, and deleted the polite IM I was writing, replacing it with something along the lines of "WHAT? You come on to my land and start doing the nasty in my bed and YOU'RE going to abuse report ME?" and then reminded her that I could have frozen them, then kicked them off, but didn't.
Anyway, here's the thing. Has SL gotten to the point where we DO have to put up signs saying Private Property? Are we at the point where we HAVE to put up banlines to stop people from taking advantage?
Am I in the wrong for not having giant signs saying "Feel free to spank that bootie in my bed, in my absence, but pay attention to the minimap in case I log on."?
And, is playing a joke on someone making the beast with two backs in MY BED abuse? Is it reportable?
Me? I think it's ridiculous, I just wanted thoughts.

I've always been a fan of play with positions to get embarassing shots, take snapshots, and send copies to them , partners, and anyone on their picks...
