How do I keep people off my land?
A
bit of a Second Life recluse? Someone in particular giving you a hard
time? You can exercise your rights as a Second Life landowner by
restricting access to your property.
Limiting Access To Specific People
- Right-click your parcel of land and choose About Land.
- Click the Access tab.
- Select the Group checkbox to restrict access so only group members may enter. (Go to the General tab and click Set to change this group.)
- Or, select the Avatars checkbox and enter specific Residents who may access the property.
Block Specific People from Access
- Right-click your parcel of land and choose About Land.
- Click the Ban tab.
- Select the Ban Avatars checkbox and enter specific Residents who may not access the property.
On Using Scripts
You can use scripted objects to enhance your land ownership tools. Generally, such scripts should:
- Provide adequate warning to the undesired Resident.
- Only work within the property lines (this includes projectiles that cannot operate beyond the parcel boundaries).
- Not be excessive in the removal of the unwanted Resident. Pushing
them off the property or teleporting them home is usually acceptable;
intentionally applying a script to disrupt their Second Life connection
or online status is not allowed.
Scripts or no scripts, you cannot use land ownership as a way of
unfairly restricting another Second Life Resident's personal freedoms.
