METRO HYPER GRID BAN

The OSgrid Board of Directors met Thursday, March 7, 2013 to discuss the ban of hypergrid users from Metropolis. The Board voted unanimously to continue the ban.

The Board also discussed ways that the ban might be lifted in the future.

Because there is no way for the grid that receives hypergriders to block an individual user, it is imperative that grids have a cooperative relationship so that griefing and disruptive behavior can be dealt with by the originating grid. For example, if someone from OSgrid were causing problems on Metropolis, it would be necessary for OSgrid Admins to deal with that individual.

This type of cooperative arrangement is not new and would be similar to arrangements between various newcomer groups in Second Life. We know it sounds a little like interplanetary diplomacy, but really that's what it is. A free and open metaverse is only possible if the grids cooperate.

The Board voted unanimously to contact Metropolis Administrators and try and set up a meeting to see if a cooperative relationship can be established.

Albertlr Landar, Board Secretary, sent an email to the Metropolis contact email on Thursday, March 7 requesting a meeting to discuss the ban. We have not received a response.

wir haben ein Mail von einem "Board-Member" des OSgrid erhalten. Das Mail wanderte zunächst in den Spam, da weder Betreff noch Mail-Adresse auf OSgrid hinwiesen.

I would like to first introduce myself. I am Lawrence A. Roberts in real life. On OSgrid my avatar is albertlr Landar and I have recently volunteered as a user of OSgrid to be on their new Board of Directors and to try to help resolve several problems that have come up recently. I and the other two Board Members have met this past Thursday, and we decided that as one of the on going problems is the current block on hypergrid teleporting to and from the Metropolis Grid that it would be in everyone's best interest to try to resolve this situation as soon as possible. They asked me to contact someone that is responsible for that grid and see if we can set up some means of communication between us to resolve this problem. I should also mention that the block was not officially authorized by the Board. It was instituted by one of the volunteer managers. So if I may request your help in determining who I should talk to about this I would appreciate your assistance. Thank you for your time and consideration.


Und das ist die Antwort unseres Sponsors, der ja presserechtlich noch für hypergrid.org verantwortlich ist:
