The new neighbors...

If the recieving end of the sex act can't conscent, then it's wrong. (and yes, that is assuming that it is some sort of animal, human or otherwise. I am not infering that vegetation can be raped). Depiction of this in pixels is not much better than in any other way, and in some ways worse, to my mind. Since, it validates the act on a simpler level. Either way, both sides of this argument have been being rediculously unhelpful to Mari, and very childish, so here goes...
The situation you have, Mari, is not much different from being spammed by a notecard giver, or lucky chair. You have text/content that is crossing the boundry between your plots. The only difference is that your neighbors may well be a bit touchy about whether they are being attacked for their preferences, so, like a number of other folks here said, send a polite IM first to see if they will please use private chat, or some other method so that they can have privacy. If they are rude, mute/ban the individual people. Honestly, I think ban lines are not the way to go, try individual bans first. You would certainly have a lot stronger footing if you were in a private sim, you would generally have a covenant to refer to, and have a sim owner you could go to for support. From what I've seen, many of these types of places don't last long. They have a bunch of traffic for a while, they're an eyesore, and then they die. They can't turn a profit, and it becomes not wourth it to the owner. So, it may just be a matter of waiting it out. But, I would very seriously reconsider buying in a mature sim on the mainland in general, because so many of the neighbors, like yours, are really not conscientious of who is around them. Good luck!

OMG Phil get over being mad at me over the temp rezzer and the dam camper zombies already.

Take some friggin ludes already.

That is not their plan, no.

Mari

This is how I dealt with the Italian Vampires who infested one sim I had a home in. It wouldn't have been too bad, I had enough land to buffer chat, but they insisted on using shout for all of their conversations.

It is called the mute button and it works.

Mari, my friend Buckaroo Mu makes a script that ejects people from hopping onto club stages. Maybe you could use the script for your back yard, so that anyone not in your family group gets bounced off your items.

Well .. you are right the courtesy should go both ways ... Mari's kid play shouldn't spam her neighbors when they are home either.

We of course don't know that it does, its never mentioned here. She might take play to IMs whenever neighbors are in earshot.

While you are loud during orgasm, thats a relatively short period of time unless you are super human.

Mari would be getting the foreplay, middle play, orgasms and resolution. Of more than one couple even by the sounds of things.

In fact it would be like having no wall between apartments at all, since in SL Text sound carries at "full volume" for 20M.


It is part of being a good neighbor not to spam out your neighbor.

If you'd rather not worry about it ever- move somewhere where no one will hear you. Such as you did IRL (although I'm sure that wasn't the reason lol)


Again I don't think any of this should be enforced by Linden Labs at all. Just a comment on respect for the people you live by.

Well, give it a couple of weeks Mari, maybe they'll get bored. meanwhile, mute and ban those you feel you need to. But I would strongly suggest again, that if they are there for the long haul, you may want to move, as Desmond suggested. There are some incredible private sims out there, and it would have a covenant and sim owner to back you up in a case like this. Try checking out the Winterfell sims, or play around in the Caledon sims (very kid friendly, we love good urchines), the Languedoc sim just opened, and it is also very kid friendly, it's a baroque sim (you can IM me if you want a costume ). There is also a new sim called New Toulouse opening up, and I know the group there is very open and really creative. There are so many more that just aren't coming to mind at the moment. but they're out there, and they don't have obnoxious neighbors. If you buy land on a private sim, of course, make sure it is from oneof the reputable owners, but you can make your place exactly as it is on the mainland But you'll also get that extra layer of protection from people who insist on being obnoxious, and a whole new set of folks who you can rp with Best of luck!

I was never mad with you at all, over anything - not even about this. I didn't bring it up again, so don't blame me. Or didn't you read my post? You're not very good at remembering what you read, are you

Ohh sure, whatever ..

That's my problem too, I never remember what anyone else posts here and more insanely what I post either, some days I come and think "did I post that?"

OMG did I post that?

If you're staying, I suggest you take the house or whatever and put it on a floating island, 150M or more above the ground.

In a mannerly world they'd move their sex-zoo seeing as you were there first. You tried the reasonable thing. Under the current ToS you're stuck with moving, tolerating their chat and noise, or learning how many things your ignore list can hold.

I remember this post.

well it depends really on what type of personality you are..I don't revel playing hard ball..but i can do it. Id rather go buy a huge VR room and texture the outside with HUGE pscycodelic daisies from the 60s...that were animated...and blinked...rather than move...but that's just me...(we are talking about a 40 x 40 x 40 box )

I am always a willing volunteer on the education of people on objectiveness .If they dont understand kindness maybe they'd understand a large toon sticking its tongue out at them constantly..or boxes positioned near their sim line that spammed sounds...or better yet...large pictures of Jesus reading to the little children(whatever irks them )

Not so easy though in this case.

To "Mute" an item, you have to find it - then click on it and mute it.

Can you imagine the potential problems for Mari, as a kid avatar, being seen flying round an obvious sex area clicking on stuff?

Mari,

Make some large signs with these quotes on them.

Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. -- Exodus 22:19

And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. -- Leviticus 20:15

And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. -- Leviticus 20:16


Then go over and ask if they want to know the way to heaven.


Edit: Maybe you could get Jezebell to put on her angel costume and go next door with you.

Colette, with all due respect I think you may be outside your area of expertise here There are folks in several sexually-oriented communities who feel that 'scenes' should be enacted publicly (i.e., in chat), for the "enjoyment" of all. Think of it as a form of performance art.
?? It is really not these folks' fault that LL's parcel management scheme allows spill-over from one parcel to the next. It was certainly worth it for Mari to ask them if they could adjust things, but as I suggested earlier it would have been courteous to offer to do so as well, in return (both parties move 10m away from the border). But, these folks pay for all their m2, and are within their rights to use it as they wish. There seems to be some assumption in this thread that their activities are less "worthy", and thus should be suppressed. Tho I personally find bestiality distasteful, I think they have every bit as much right as Mari to do what they want with their land.
The most rational words on this thread. Good luck, hon.

LOL Chris.Best idea on this thread yet..



Broccoli,why would she have to fly anywhere? She could just cam over and do it.

I would just put up a security orb and mute the neighbors(and follow Chris's advice,lol).Good luck Mari.

I'm different. I tend to rememeber what's said/written, but I'm near hopeless at remembering who said or wrote them.

I wasn't saying there aren't people who like to "perform"

But I hardly think they would be a majority of exhibitionists, and certainly not a majority of people.

But then, all you're doing is lowering yourself to their level.

I can't for the life of me understand people who insist on being rude. You want to be a sicko animal-f**ker on your land? Go ahead - your land, your ways - but Mari was kind enough to try and come to a neighbourly understanding and was ignored. Sl is home to all sorts (just as in RL), the worst thing for Mari to do would be to let these people 'change' her into becoming the same kind of low-lifes. I feel for you Mari, but for the moment, the only thing I feel you can do is put up a wall and mute those you can hear.

I would agree. Of the people who own small parcels for residential housing, most want more privacy, not less.

She could just zoom, no need to leave the privacy of her home.

I remember, only a little while after I arrived in SL, a Gorean complaining that a neighbour had put up a sign on their parcel, floating above the walls of the castle, reading "Men died to fight slavery - Jump the wall to freedom"...
