Is it griefing if you push someone on your own property?

[Blush Bravin]

Here's exactly what is in the land description:

The description is very misleading. It was quite easy to find this land since you advertised it in land for sale.

Well, given that griefing, if established to be griefing, is accepted to be "wrong" and therefore "not moral" even if it's "realistic", I think you're splitting hairs. You're still asking whether it's acceptable to do this, so you ought to be prepared for people to tell you that they think it isn't.

As such, I don't think it's "wrong"/"griefing". It's just an unfunny joke that's set up so that only you would get it. You seem to be happy with that, so knock yourself out.

 

I' m sorry, but  I never asked if it was acceptable, I asked if it was griefing.

And since it's on my own parcel, with the wasps acting as a de facto security orb, it is totally completely 100% acceptable.

No, you asked if was possible for people to be offended or complain.

Griefing is generally considered to be unacceptable, and you wouldn't be asking the question otherwise, so it's a perfectly fair way of phrasing the actual question and the thought process that goes into answering it. I think you know this, because however else you come across on this thread, you don't appear to be stupid.

That description was a relict from when I divided the land for sale. That part was outside of the scan range, so visiting that parcel looking to buy it you wouldn't be bothered by the hornets.

But a moment ago you said that the point wasn't to create a security orb, it was to create a realistic experience of coming across a hornets' nest in RL.

And if you are so sure it it 100% acceptable, why did you start the thread to ask if it could be considered an unacceptable practice?

The point is, if I had a security orb that pushed you off the property it wouldn't be griefing, I didn't rezz the nest for security, but since it acts like an orb, I can't be accused of griefing for having it.

You know, I could have just as easily asked the question without referencing my own land at all.

Rest assured, next time  I ask such a question, I won't make any mention of my own circumstances

I went there today. I didn't step foot in your inhospitable parcel. I wanted to see for myself what you had written in the description. I don't care when you wrote it. It's still there and people can innocently inter that land and stumble into the trap you have set for them. But hey, it's your land. How you treat your guests, that you have told is open for everyone to ENJOY, is your business. But then you made it our business by asking a question you really didn't want an answer to.

Thank God. I was worried.

You should have entered below the cliffs,  or checked out the view from the top of my sphere tank home, both are beyond the range  of the hornets nest.

You couldn't pay me to enter your land. lol. Not that I'm afraid of being kicked out of the land but you clearly don't want guests unless you can play a prank on them. I'm not going to be part of your sick joke.  

Adding .. and with that I'm out. I have said too much already.

Then why have you started a thread whose title asks us whether it's griefing for having it?

Just realized.. Attack of the WASPS!

Lol see what I just posted. Not what I meant by “wasp food”, though. Just feed the critters.

No I asked if it was considered griefing if you push someone on your own parcel. I then explained what  I used to push people with, and that morphed into a discussion on security orbs and whether I have to warn people in the property description before pushing them.

It's a much gentler kinder form of exclusion than a zero notice, TP you home security system. 

(I ask why there's no warning of the effective exclusion.)

You are still missing the point. If you were in the woods in RL there would be no warning if you were attacked by hornets. It's just not your lucky day, that's all. you got swarmed.

Yes, and then you said that you "couldn't be accused of griefing" for having such an item on your parcel. So I ask again: why are you asking us if it's griefing to push someone on your parcel, if you've already decided that you can't be accused of griefing for having a object that pushes people on your parcel?

Neither can genitalia and unborn foetuses, but that hasn't stopped half of SL.

because she wants a carte blanche for being nasty towards people

Perhaps you'd prefer to be chased off the parcel by flying genitals?

Sorry I can't do that, the land is mature not adult

Why do I never think of the most obvious answer first?!

I think it's been done. Ask Anshe Chung.
