If you ban him from your parcel he can't enter your land any more, but he can stand half a sim away (or a whole sim, or two sims away) and camera control back into your property. Before I estate-banned him and delisted my stuff, I noted that most of his 'results' were from incorrect locations, i.e. he identified a bunch of stuff as being for sale on the 'Beach' parcel, and very little for sale in the 'Mall' parcel. So he is standing / floating / whatever in one spot and scanning all over, logging stuff in neighboring parcels.

Interesting.

so if i set my entire sim to ban the sheep bot,
and split off say a 32m area in the center and not ban the sheep-bot there,
and set that 32m parcel to damage (designated combat area),
and set an automated gun turret there that only targets the sheep-bot....

hmmmm.... I have to think about this

Why, you'd be entirely within your rights as I understand it :D

Huh? For what purpose?

Marketing. The corporations think that we haven't been bombarded by their garbage enough in RL and want to get us here as well.

From what Forsetti was saying , I think this is correct. They dont do anythign with the data, though.

He didnt even say if they delete it , he said specifically that they dont do anything with it,

Besides display the portion of the data thats on the search list.

I asked about this and was specifically told that data on objects which are not going to be displayed are not stored at all.
