this cannot be possible. manipuilating the viewer will not help. he would have to ahck the servers of LL which is practically impossible for a normal person. since this happened to me quite often i assume thats a technical issue

such incidents do not happen very often. Its mainly due to a technical issue of the grid that residents cannot be banned completely...or the banning process does not work. I think this was an exception...it happened to me before - just a temporary issue of the server or the system in general.
However, I agree with you that it is very spooky. I oince tried to eject a griefer from the group. Nonetheless he would be able to send stupid messages in the group chat. I could not even manage to mute his text chat...that was really weird. Does anyone know more about this?

I do not think we are talking about the same issue here.
Anyone can choose to whoever he wants - a child or a horse - as long as this role is historically accurate. In fact I would appreciate more children in the roleplay in general.
But if it comes to the point that a member who previously received a title runs to five other courts to get one there as well it gets slightly tricky. You are free to choose who you want to be in second life of course if it works with the setting and the historical background of the place.
Do you thkink community A is willing to have you as an official part of the setting if you run to cummunity B, C and D? Such a person can no longer be regarded as a reliable, dedicated and faithful member of that group. We have had many people holding titles for the sake of the fancy look of it. However, they did not contribute to the roleplay experience in anyway. In such a case, i think the community has the liberty to revoke a title.

thank you dear for this post. The trouble you mention is a natural part of every gathering of people. There will always be someone who disagrees with the setting or the people. The problem is ver4y often that some choose a rather deconstructive and counterproductive way to utter their concerns. As in rl rational discussion are often of no help in these cases. Unfortunately.
Since I know what you are alluding at I think we should talk in a more concrete way about it. There have always been tensions among different communities. These are most likely to arise when mutual interests are concerned or even threatened. "copy courts" are surely a very common phenomena. I do not say that these are bad in every case, but once two courts with the same concept, timeframe and history are on the same playground this can be really confusing for the members on the one hand and very harmful for both groups on the other hand. None of them will ever be able to grow and stand out - and this will naturally cause tensions.
Yeah I know. it is an old topic and we already talked about it in the past. But its still omnipresent!
We have experienced this problem as well. It happened to us once that the "other" french court invited active members of our group to their group offering them fancy titles: This clearly lacks style in my opinion and undermines the hard work of other communities. Many of them also thought it was in fact one of our new groups...which made sense since the copy group almost had exactly the same name. This gets more frustrating once you learn that the founder of that copy group had lived amongst you for a pretty long period!
In a recent case I also learned that this person now uses our application forms for his own roleplay, evidently copying our system. I would not mind if that person had asked me to use them...as it is our intellectual property
Now you may ask: What were we supposed to do back then? We attempted to ignore it but made our point very clear to them as well. and one day we were lucky enough to see that this court had vanished. To get back to what you said: For a group manager it is painful to see that people decide to leave his group to join another with exactly the same theme. It is indeed a human reaction to react sensitively when you're disappointed. However, that does not mean we should appreciate such behaviour.It is SL and we are free to choose whatever we like.
But what if that "other person" refuses to accept reason? Yes, this is SL! But does that imply that we do not owe respect to the work of other people? A person who cannot understand this is both selfish and ignorant in my opinion.
Though it is SL we must not spurn someone else's work!

"The Number One rule for dealing with this type of behaviour is: don't respond, don't interact and don't engage. This is not as easy to do as it sounds. It's a natural response to want to defend yourself, and to put the person right. However, never argue with a serial bully; it's not a mature adult discussion, but like dealing with a child or immature teenager; whilst the serial bully may be an adult on the outside, on the inside they are like a child who's never grown up - and probably never will. Serial bullies and harassers often have disordered thinking patterns and do not share the same thoughts or values as you."
this applies to both lives indeed. i find this rule very useful, but if you think about it there are ways you can act. In SL as a landowner you can show a person his limits very easily by pointing out that he violates rules. Once there are rules it makes sense to put a person right in my opinion.
But anyway, thats almost a different topic...
