Although the Second Life JIRA is a tool to be used. And 'Didn't work'. Recently Voodoo SL began to blacklist groups in Second Life known for causing grief. Mar 16, 2005 Welcome to the Second Life Forums Archive. I would venture to guess there are thousands of weapons in SL used responcibly by people and not as griefing tools. I have written before about stopping griefer attacks in Second Life as well as the. Anti Griefing Tool: Core Strength. Video of Some Interesting Griefer Tools.

Seems like the griefers no longer have to hawk their bombs in the sandboxes. They are taking it to the masses. Here are a couple item description excerpts from the weapons section on SL Exchange: 'Simple to use.

Just type in /5 boom and the whole world explodes!! Forces most AVs to relog. Tantra Bot 2012 on this page. Super powerful. Unlimited C-4 Packs per purchase. Great item, great deal.'

'Don't let this weapon fall into the hands of SL terrorists. The ultimate of ultimates, upon detonation this bomb kills every avatar in the sim and hurls their bodies to the surrounding sims.' Somehow posting 'Purchaser expected to use within SL Terms of Service.' Doesn't seem to make this right. Considering neither of these can be used within the TOS.

Yeah, someone was selling listening devices specificly designed for covert spying a few weeks ago there too. Might still be, I dunno. I guess it's not really the sites job to police the content, but you would think the Lindens would take a critical view of this. So this is an interisting issue.

Should sellers, of both Webshops and Malls (not to descriminate), take responsibility in not allowing these sort of things that could for all purposes, and most likely are, used against the TOS? How do you differenciate? To me, the first item which would force avatars to relog, is more dangerous than the second item. I would definitly not allow the first one to be sold in my mall/onlineshop, but the second one I may.

Its a judgement call that is up to the personal viewpoint of the owner of said mall/webshop. I think it's a fine line with some things, even 'covert devices', as to whether they violate the ToS or not. Certainly the last time it was discussed, there were some plausible legitimate uses for them put forward. However, can anyone see any legitimate reason why you would need bombs, the effect of which is to clear the sim by abusing everyone in it? I can't, to be honest.

And as such, it would seem that this is a clear cut case of items designed with one sole purpose which is explicitly forbidden by the ToS. I don't think it would be at all unreasonable to ban them for sale, or for the Lindens to take action merely for the sale of them. YMMV, of course. In real world shop keepers are responsible for what they sell. I wonder why it shouldn't be the same for SL. Only to a certain extent, of course, at least in America.

Endian Firewall Community Updated To 251. A store that sells a gun used to shoot someone isn't generaly responsible, as long as the gun was purchased legaly. Back ground check, waiting period, etc. Basicly, as long as the sale itself was kosher, the store is safe.

The same is true here, I would assume. None of these things are actually illegal to own. Any halfway competent scripter could make either of them. Using them IS against ToS, but that's another issue entierly. Somehow posting 'Purchaser expected to use within SL Terms of Service.' Doesn't seem to make this right.
