This might be the wrong forum to put this in, but I can't find a "Scream Directly At The Lindens" one to save my life.
Before I go on, "truth in labeling" time: I'm not personally attracted to scripted dance floors, sex pose balls, or any of that stuff. What I love to do here is fly. I fly every time I come to SL - Skydiving, parasails, hang gliders, freaky jets ... whatever I can climb into and manage to keep aloft for more than five minutes without crashing.
As a result, I tend to hang out a lot in the "vehicle" sims, like Balance, Fame, Bethel, etc. Even a few weeks ago, they were delightfully low on lag and almost devoid of silly drama. What's happening now is that they're full of people building massive sky platforms - for weapons, I suppose - and filling the air with all sorts of smoking, exploding things. All of this above and beyond the frequent griefers and their little games, of course.
Today, I finally had my fill. Got blown out of the sky by a guy who'd been shooting at me over and over, no matter where I steered my glider. Yes, I was pissed. I walked over to the guy, asked him if he was the one shooting at me, and expressed my annoyance. He thought it was funny, apparently, and when I said that I found the behavior "adolescent", he happily told me that he was fourteen. Of course, I can't verify that.
I tried to put in an abuse report, mainly to see if maybe someone in power would care to try to control what goes on in these sims. Between the griefers and the people blowing stuff up, everything bogs down and it gets mighty hard to simply enjoy the place. The system wouldn't take my complaint because I didn't have the guy's name in the little slot (I'd included it in the body of my complaint). It wouldn't let me type it in, and when I tried the "find name" thing, it said it couldn't find the name. I can find the name in "search", but a whole lot of no good that does me. So, no complaint to the Lindens.
So, exactly what am I supposed to do? Just leave the area every time some teenage pri... (deep breath here...) person decides to use me for target practice? I thought shooting at people without their participation and consent was verboten here.
So, thank you for letting me vent. If what I'm "supposed" to do here is to just think this is all "way kewl" and type "lol' over and over again, then just consider me a joyless old fart and ignore me. Otherwise... any suggestions?

First, I would go under the Help tab and click on bumps, pushes, etc. This will tell you the last person to bump you, shoot at you, or do something to you with a script. Take note of the exact name of the offender and abuse report them. That's about all you can do in these sorts of situations.

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. Many of us have been having similar experiences lately... With no verification process, there's nothing stopping a fourteen year old from signing up. It's unfortunate that they choose to use the Main Grid rather than the Teen Grid which was designed specifically for them however I don't see a solution to this problem in sight barring changes requiring verification once again. I too have found that some of the players ingame behave far more childish than any adult would. It's very frustrating to say the least. I came to SL hoping for an 'adult' experience and be able to get away from all the kiddies playing other online games but sadly it looks like this may very well be going the same route -- which is a bad sign. Let's face it, kids have limited budgets and many adults have plenty of cash they can pour into SL. The ramifications of the Main Grid turning into a Teen Grid are something that should carefully be considered and hopefully avoided.

I have found that often you have to type the full name exactly to the letter to get it to show up in the abuse report name search. Barring that, I would have been taking screen shots, copying and pasting chat in a notecard, and dropping it in some Linden's profiles...

Being over 18 - unfortunately - doesn't stop people from being jerks.

From: Malachi Petunia Being over 18 - unfortunately - doesn't stop people from being jerks. Very true. However by the time most people reach 18 they've at least matured a bit and aren't going around calling everyone noobs, shooting them, ...

There is no other way to handle a situation like that..............Abuse Report. That's the only tool Linden Labs gives you. I know where you are coming from as it's happened to me too. By the time you get an abuse report up and fill it out being as detailed as you can...........which is not often very detailed at all, since you are just picking your Avi off the ground after being knocked across the sim. And then you have to search for the abuser to include it. The abuser is long gone by that time and so the snapshot is useless.
There needs to be a better way but all you will get is the same old "AR it and be careful" stuff. I don't know why LL can't take the "AR" with minium input from you and flag your location and the area immediately around you, gather up the logs for that area starting maybe 5 minutes before and look for abusive behavior occuring. It could be automatic and completely impersonal. But no one seems to be interested in residents security in world..............well no one at Linden Labs anyway. They don't want to get involved and refuse to get involved until they are forced to.
I understand but I'm afraid there is nothing else you can do. It's getting unfun to play anymore.

What you suggest be implemented has been done in other MMO's I've taken part in so it's definitely a plausible solution

Appreciate the responses...
02-17-2007 16:52
Thanks for the responses. I'll admit I'm far from knowing all of the ins and outs of this place. Perhaps the little shi.... (another deep breath - I'm feeling foul at the moment) sweet child needed to still be in the area with me while I was writing the complaint for his name to be avaiable. Of course, after I verbally reamed him a new one, he scooted away for a while. Indeed, as someone suggested, I did enter his name exactly. Nada.
I'm probably a rarity around SL in that I've never played any other MMOG thing. Never even have played any 3D shooters, except for a few boring encounters with Quake and Doom and stuff like that. So, admittedly, perhaps my understanding of the "culture" here is lacking and perhaps I should shut the hell up. I'm from a MOO/MUSH background, so having graphics is a new experience for me. From the reading that led me to investigate SL, I got the impression that it was more about community and creativity than mayhem. Silly me. The mainland, for the most part, reminds me of nothing more than a poorly zoned highway on the outskirts of any big city - full of wildly out of place structures and strip malls, and endless sex shops and video poker joints. And no, I'm NOT a prude. It's just... kind of grim.
But I digress, as is my nature. What I really wanted to say was: Thanks for the responses. Frankly, I was almost afraid to look back to see if there were any, because I fully expected to be politely (and not so politely) told to stop whining and chill. It's helpful that y'all let me know I'm not entirely alone in my frustration.
Thanks tons. You helped.
Addendum: I just poked my nose back into Fame (you can't rez your toys in Balance, so you scoot halfway around the little lake to launch). Flying was jerky and laggy, but I didn't have a target on my backside, at least. However, there were so many massive floating structures just sort of hanging around up there that flying became something of an obstacle course. Oh well...
Hmm, there don't seem to be many cast off things piled up under the lake. Subs go fast, don't they? Hmm, perhaps developing a taste for the water might be a good idea.

It's possible one might make a typo that keeps the abuse report dialog people finder from locating the name.
If you can find the person in the search dialog, people tab, then you can copy the name from their profile and paste that into the abuse dialog's people finder to eliminate the possibility of making a typo.
If you can right click an object belonging to the person, an object used in the commision of the action being reported, then you select more from the bottom of the pie menu, more again, then select Report Abuse from that pie menu. This will produce an abuse report dialog with the object name and object owner name pre-filled. You still have to select the person's name with the people finder, but at least it's displayed conveniently, assuming the person you are filing the abuse report against is the person that own's the object, which is almost always the case.
If you are in an area where you can rez an object, you can rez a box and sit on it to make you reasonably secure while composing and sending the abuse report.
If you pull up the offender's profile, you can use their note tab to compose an abuse report that you keep in their notes, ready to cut and paste into the abuse reporter for folks that engage in repeated infractions.
For instances of self reported underage folks in the adult grid that you want to report, copy and paste the chat where they report their age into their profile note tab, then file an abuse report, being sure to copy and paste the chat history quote into the abuse report along with your description of the incident. Then make a Help Request, starting your post out with "Liaison wanted: minor on adult grid", or words to that effect; the goal is to make it clear that you are not requesting help from a resident volunteer but want to speak only to a Linden staff member. When (if) a Liaison replies, tell them what happened; they will most likely ask if you have file an abuse report, which you can say yes to. If the underage person is misbehaving in other ways, tell the liaison that as well. The liaison may or may not take an immediate action. They have a lot to do at times and have to use judgement about what to respond to.
If you know of people that are free to come to the problem area , people who a good at doing things like looking up people's profile, copying and pasting text, etc, it wouldn't hurt to offer them a tp.

I am in Fame alot and have never encountered any Flak there. How odd. Though recently the sandboxes around fame and Abbots have been fill with annoying particle Marios and giant platforms.
What annoys me about SL is when I am flying or sailing. Perfectly empty space, and WHAM! suddenly I hit, "you have been banned from this parcel" and now I am stuck on the bottom of the ocean, or I crash. I then have to log back in and find my sailboat(no copy) somewhere in that sim. The other night it happened while flying and as SL closed I last saw my Stuka headed N at 100 meters, to today I have no idea where it ended up.

You have a no-copy sailboat? Geez, you like to live dangerously I can't count the number of times I've sent my Tako off-world (thanks to ban lines, most of the time). Sure, I get it back -- most of the time -- but on one occasion, I encountered a security system that actually borked my boat beyond repair. Just be careful where you sail with your unique sailboat.

Lindens have so much on their plate and to be honest- who knows if you are telling truth or not. Best way is to file an abuse report and verify that he hit, bump, etc you. Even if you probably verify that it means nothing- who knows- you may have been fighting with him, playing around, etc. No one can verify and there are too many false abuse reports that are not real.
BEST Suggestion- Be in the same playing field as they are.
Come to Exclusive Weapons (stores) and buy yourself a shield and anoty other gadget for protection. This is the only thing you can do and use whenever it's necessary.
There is no other way . It's just part of SL.

From: Roby Tandino There is no other way . It's just part of SL. Nice advertisment ... but there *are* other ways. Why sink to the level of idiots with silly pointless weapons by simply becoming one yourself? It doesn't solve the problem in any way at all, it simply makes the problem bigger by one idiot. Most people coming here are from other online games where the point is to shoot other players. We need to re-educate them as to all that SL can be and offers them, and encourage them to learn a skill or do something profitable instead. There are many places that offer these things. There is simply no excuse for annoying other people just for the sake of it, period. Broccoli

Broccoli *applauds* I wonder if there is something that could be added to the Orientation Island that might actually help reduce the idea that this is just another FPS. Maybe something that brings up a nice naggy big blue 'announcement' thing that says, "In SL, if you engage in PvP in areas without the heart in the upper right hand corner, you are asking to be banned from SL. Other players can and will report you. We WILL investigate and you WILL be banned for a specified period of time." Okay, I know it won't prevent some people from being hardheaded, but *shrugs*.

Broccoli Why sink to this level? Need to re educate them? Are you serious? You reply with *other ways" but give the original poster no examples. Abuse reports have done nothing to the biggest abusers in SL which some of us have an idea who they are. Unless LL shuts down weaponry/gadgetry systems don't give people false hope for now. You may not have been attacked by a *pro* but many are in this game. And don't give me the reply of LL shutting down an IP- there are ways around this. Also LL enabling anyone to obtain multiple Av;'s doesn't help either. It's not to become one(griefer) yourself- it's a protection system. Remember folks- THIS is a game. No matter how much RL money you can make from a business- it's still a game for the majority of users!!!. There will always be many people misusing the weaponry system and you need something to fight back with. Some have no idea that weaponry systems are probably in the top 3 money making businesses in SL. It';s there for a reason. And it's not a fad- it's constant revenues for many. And I'm not referring to the freebie guns out there but the high quality weaponry systems . .. Say all you want- but those in this business know that this brings in hundreds of thousands of lindens daily. -People are getting this for a reason-. I dislike Griefers ass much as the next guy- I wish everyone would just use these things in a combat sim but the majority don't. Others rather fight fire with fire. -End -

From: Roby Tandino Why sink to this level? Need to re educate them? Are you serious? Very, very serious. Trust me on this. From: Roby Tandino You reply with *other ways" but give the original poster no examples. Evidently you missed "education" and that there is so much more potential in SL than to simply blow stuff up. There are many other games out there that do that far, far better than SL ever could because that's exactly what they are designed for. However, conversely, SL has much more opportunity than possibly any other thing currently in existance for any home PC. From: Roby Tandino Abuse reports have done nothing to the biggest abusers in SL which some of us have an idea who they are. Naturally, I have no more insight into abuse reports submitted than you do - but sending an AR of "Random Avatar shot me" doesn't really give any solid evidence and would most likely - and rightfully - be ignored. From: Roby Tandino Unless LL shuts down weaponry/gadgetry systems don't give people false hope for now. You may not have been attacked by a *pro* but many are in this game. And don't give me the reply of LL shutting down an IP- there are ways around this. Also LL enabling anyone to obtain multiple Av;'s doesn't help either. I'm quite aware that it doesn't take much effort to get round bans and suspensions in SL. However I'm not sure about your comment of "professionals with weapons" because you cannot actually kill another player in-game permanently. All you do is shoot them with a scripted object which negatively affects their gameplay in some way. A 'professional killer' is an assassin. Note that it contains the word "ass" twice; very appropriately so for many of the people with weapons I come across in SL. From: Roby Tandino It's not to become one(griefer) yourself- it's a protection system. Remember folks- THIS is a game. No matter how much RL money you can make from a business- it's still a game for the majority of users!!!. There will always be many people misusing the weaponry system and you need something to fight back with. Oh it's a game alright, no argument there - but it shouldn't be a game of wasting money on the "best" weapon in SL which is better than everyone else's ... until someone brings out a better one and yours is suddenly useless. From: Roby Tandino Some have no idea that weaponry systems are probably in the top 3 money making businesses in SL. It';s there for a reason. And it's not a fad- it's constant revenues for many. And I'm not referring to the freebie guns out there but the high quality weaponry systems . They are only popular because of people with an attitude like yours where the only thing to do is fight fire with fire. Ever heard the old saying "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, until everyone's fumbling blindly for a bowl of soup?" From: Roby Tandino Say all you want- but those in this business know that brings in hundreds of thousands of lindens daily. People are getting this for a reason.
Because of that very same attitude. Just like those who sell "security orbs" - which serve absolutely no purpose except to annoy innocent passers by. You cannot win this argument ever, simply because the only thing you are relying on is your weapon to protect you. I think you'll find that I represent the silent majority view here who are more than happy to play SL and let those with guns play their little games in their specific areas - but stay the hell out of my way with it. There is a reason that the adult grid has an "18" limit on it. Why waste L$5,000 on a scripted gun when you can rez a plywood cube for free and simply sit on it in a sandbox? Sandboxes are often laggy enough as it is without constant scanning shields and weapons adding to the problem. How do you explain the legitimate use of some of the things listed in your store? "Spy and Foam Spammer Bullets" are Temp on Rezz which will disappear after a minute or two. Using Foam can cause really get you into trouble since most people don't delete them. It usually can be usually be used as a Spammer in auto mode. With Spy you can fire a shot and listen in for about a minute on a conversation. (Covert) "
"Texture Bullets" will show a texture image featuring a baby with its middle finger showing (You got Owned) in front of your taget's face along with a texture of it being sent to their inventory.
-Texture Bullet (Baby Middle Finger Texture)
-Glob Bullet (Annoying Bumping Ball)
from such delightful items as "Vengeance (Griefer)" and "Spam core seller"? Broccoli

Having Fun Lol
02-18-2007 08:08
ok I know it's no fun having your space invaded , but sometimes it's going to happen and when it does try to remember it's a game and those invading your space are also playing a game. It's so easy to take S/L for R/L and use real life emotions when something happens ..but if you remember you have ways to over come this and the object is to have fun. I’ve had similar problems on the beta grid.... one situation was this guy taunted me unmercifully never left me alone for a moment I was forced to pull out my secret weapon and I gave to him what he was giving. I became a "Storm Trooper"! It was fun because I know this was another side of the game. I'm not saying that you have to take or be abused, but sometimes tucking tail and complain because you don't want to be bothered and saying it's not fun sounds to me like a person with not to may skills to protect them self here in- world. There are many things to stop others from bothering you if you don't want them to. File an abuse report, is one but not the only way. 1. Tell the person right away your not interested in a tone, which allows them to walk, away unchallenged. (Non-combative words sometimes work) 2. Tell them if they don't refrain from it you will be forced to report them. (Now you may get an abusive response, but if they leave you alone their response is unimportant) 3. Make a note of the incident in the notes part of “Their” profile you can do this to remember the incident, be sure and make a note of the name to refer back to and if this person continues to bother you, you have proof of times and dates notated on "their" profile's BACK PAGE. 4. I sometime just laugh it off or try to continue on letting it pass. (Key word here “sometimes”) 5. If I'm in a relaxed mood and just wanting to relax and enjoy my solitude in world and some insensitive, self-indulgent, exasperating, unbalanced, immature, relentlessly worrisome avvie will not adhere to my prior requests. I’ve found transformation into the Storm-trooper with attitude, packing only Kung Fu scripts, showing no mercy has effective worked for me. (Clearing my throat and regaining my composer) However a lady Avvie should never lose control!! But if she does do it with atittude winks! Remember try to have fun!

Everyone's got their own strategy for playing the game the way they want to play the game. But the way I read the OP's "complaint" is that he/she is fed up with having to develope some self protection method just to enjoy the game..........very much like myself. Why should we as "players" have to spend extra lindens for protection when we would rather spend those lindens on objects or scripts or gadgets that we enjoy? How does rezzing a box in a sandbox or anywhere else help you to fly your plane or sail your ship? Why should you have to do that in the first place? Education should work.........in theory. But we all know how education works...........it works for the ones who WANT to be educated. You cannot teach the unwilling.....but you can punish them.
I'm sure there's a way to fix this.......I don't know the exact way but I can see some ways that have potential. Ways that only Linden Labs can do effectively. Having default settings that make your avi and the objects owned by your avi immune to "destructive" scripts or weapons. Security systems present problems but with some work and thought someone with a lot more knowledge than me surely come come up with solutions.........I can't believe people with the expertise of developing SL cannot help out in this area.
The argument that LL has too much on their plate to address this is pure horse puckie. They created this thing............they promised it's more than a game. They allow the gadgets for fighting and warfare. They allow the gadgets for business and capitalist ventures. They allow the opportunity for the OP to fly around SL for sheer pleasure or me to build my house on my plot and tear it down to start over. That is a lot to allow on a single game!!! And they expect no one to abuse any part of the game.........a "honor" system of some type? It does not work. It will not work. And it never would have worked. There needed to be built in protections from the very beginning of the development............protections you must opt out of if you want the war games and combat. But they did not build those in so now it needs "fixing". It's too bad LL has so much on their plate.......but they put it there.
The whole concept of SL is that you can make it your world........do as you want and live your "dream". Then when you get here you find out you must deal with annoyances and problems that make it not fun and extremely hard to "live your dream". At best it's a poorly thought out concept..........at worst it's misleading advertising. Don't tell me to come have fun and then when I do come I find out I have to deal with others who's idea of fun trumps my idea..............give me options to help me have my fun. Education will not work, abuse reporting is fine (but act on it), requiring me to find my own way for protection is not what I came to the game for, and telling me "it's just the way it is, live with it" is not acceptable either. The "play nice and just get along" attitude does not work in RL and will not work in SL because those SL avis are controlled by RL people.

From: Reece Gunawan What you suggest be implemented has been done in other MMO's I've taken part in so it's definitely a plausible solution  The only problem is that in other MMOs, the only "abuse" you can report is usually exploits. If someone attacks and kills you in a PvP MMO then it's part of the game; if they somehow do it in a non-PvP MMO then it's a bug. As for why they can't review every one in that much detail, it's because 2000+ ARs are filed every day.

That, in itself, says a lot about the problem. 2000 plus AR's a day.......whew, that's a sure fire indication that there is a problem that needs serious addressing. Sticking your head in a hole is not addressing it. LOL
