Why so many RUDE people?

and all a person has to do is a camera pan and click on any sit ball in your home to gain entry. we have the doors yes, but with the added security, by the time they do manage to rezz/campan/ and click on the sit ball, they are already wherever thier home setting is.

I love mentoring on help island and other newbie spawn points, dont get the time to do it as often as I would like, but its very rewarding.

Just a thought... would it not be nice if sitballs and alike not only could be hidden and made visible again by the owner or when given the rights by the owner to do so? Normally I have the sit balls hidden in my house.

I sell an inexpensive pose ball switch that will show/hide all of your poseballs with one touch of the switch. Place the switch in a descrete location in your house and you can easily show/hide all of your poseballs at once. Its really nice even while using the poseballs to hide the clutter of those you are not using. The poseball switch also comes with a script that you can put in any other modifialble objects/furniture that you want to show/hide.

I know this. But they have to go through rather some trouble to get so far. And I want an open home. I like people to drop by... as long they respect my privacy.
To have a bit more controle though I have places a small device that logs anyone entering my home. If I don't trust someone, I will IM the person. Depending on the reaction (or no reaction) I will decide what to do...

You will find in life you tend to Get as Good as you Give.

As said, normally my frontdoor is open to everyone.

My front door is pretty much open to anyone. Most of them don't stay though... after one look at the rack, bullwhip and genital shocker they suddenly remember somewhere else they need to be.

Last night i was sitting on my Deck, Chatting with two of my Housemates (All female) when a new Person Popped in. My Fiance' noticed him before i did, and greeted him pleasantly. He was exploring, and saw a Few people, and wanted to see what was going on, if anything. We Chatted Pleasantly for about Ten minutes (Mostly discussing RL realestate for some reason) Then my Fiance explained to him that our time was short that evening, and we wished to have a Little private time together before we all Logged. He thanked us, and Moved on. Yet another example of how being Polite to Drop in's is a workable approach for heading Off Rudeness.

Sounds to me like another teenager on the grid...

My suspicion is that some under-age forum somewhere out there has a grab-bag of adult SL logins, most likely obtained with stolen CC nos (that's how they get into the various porn/stroker sites), and the little darlings are coming in, in a semi-organised way.

The number of these seems to have risen very sharply after Wednesday's update. I've had three incidents of push-attacks in public, and the pusher clearly doesn't give a rat's ass for the history or ban risk for his character.

("yew look like a fagit" from a lanky number in a dicky-bow tied dinner suit was my favourite from Friday - well, OK, if you come from South Bend, OR, I probably do, to you. Anyone know where I can get some Borg shielding that triggers when some other force moves me, and roots me to the spot?)

I know it can’t be just me but has anyone else noticed that you run across a lot of @$$holes running around the welcome lands? I am talking about the people that have been on SL for a while, not the newbes!! We were all new at one time...

I have been on SL before many years ago and now I am back after a long stint away, and I like to meet the and greet the new comers to SL and I find a lot of very rude elders that will not help the new people or answer questions for them. I have see them tell them to go away and leave them alone they do not want to talk or help. Now why would they hang out in these areas if they don’t want to help out?

I run around in a cop uniform and greet all I can and hand out items (have over 5K+ items in inventory) to help them get started like clothes, jewelry, autos, etc. and have even given out some $$$. And offer guide services for free around diff lands to show them the ropes. (Unlike the other police ones you see around here that want to charge for all services)

At times I catch grief from some elders because I give away items thinking that it is going to make the new comers start asking for stuff for free from others.. Granted I have seen some running around asking for money from others, and it’s not always the new people.

Just venting

I've been a resident for a little over a week. In that time I've run into 'instructors' that were trying to sell things they got for free. ....then sell you instructions on how to use them.

If that's not hustling enough, the other day I ran into some guy at Orientaion Station that had his character done up in a wheelchair and was asking new people for handouts. His claim for pity was that he was homeless. After stating to him and the newbies around him that in SL he can fly if he wants, I offered him 10 houses I had picked up for free. His reply? No thanks, I just want the L20. Big Surprise.

SL seems to mirror RL in that people seem to work the angles they are familiar with.

BTW, in reference to the quote in the previous post, I'll disregard the comments made about my ass.

bumped into one that said "F*** YOU" - I thought that was quite unnecessary SOMEBODY's pissy...

The most obnoxious thing I've encountered happened last night - I was leading a new player around in the Gnubie store and this fuglified avatar that intermittently emitted a green cloud of gas accompanied by a farting noise followed us around asking "how much?" "you're not whores?".

Ok, I'll post my war story here too.

I was in a building class today and one of the newly-arrived participants kept flying round the classroom. I thought at first he was stuck in some sort of animation, but it soon became clear he was a griefer. He even said that disrupting the class was the most fun he had had in SL so far (what a saddo!). We had to wait while the baby had his fun. From what he says in his profile about his first life - it would seem he has quite a responsible job. Or maybe that's just what he wants to be when he grows up.

I have been pushed alot as well and when you ask them to take it some place else they don't and keep it up....
I have some shields and achors now look me up in SL and i give you a copy...

Did you see who long he/she was a member of SL? I would like to see just how long it takes these people to become #$*(@^( or do they just start off being that way when they join?!?!
