[Opensim-users] Permissions and common sense

[Frank W Sweet]

Building their stuff is one thing, but would not simply keeping 
everything locked prevent visitors from trashing my stuff? I tend to 
keep everything locked anyway  when I am not working on it, because I 
am dangerous with a mouse in my hand.

Subject: [Opensim-users] Permissions and common sense


And today's award goes to three friends @ mecatreco.game-host.org:9002
who shall remain unnamed in public, but whose names I will gladly
disclose to interested parties. Just thought I'd publicize the domain
where they came from to see if public shunning has any effect on
people's behavior.

Nothing too serious, really, since there are backups of the regions.

I had been curious to find out the extent of people's common sense in 
a
completely open Metaverse, `a-la Web 2.0. Now we know: there is no
*common* sense; some people think it makes a lot of sense to go to 
other
people's regions and trash them just because they can. I guess they
didn't realize their actions were being logged.

Everyone, please turn your permissions module on, if you hadn't done 
it
already, disable building permissions, etc. Not that we didn't know,
but... always surprising.

Security is definitely way up high on my list of things to focus on.
