[Opensim-users] Permissions and common sense

[Diva Canto]

Thanks, Charles. Everyone should do that check list you wrote down.
That vandalism episode was a good reminder that not everyone in this 
Metaverse is on the same page...

The gateways have been up again since last night, with permissions enforced.
(Some of our regions in OSGrid are still unprotected, but they aren't 
that important and they serve as sandboxes. We'll protect them one of 
these days.)
