What was unique is that the person believed to be responsible apparently rezzed something on the sim that she had gained from the actual griefer, and unwittingly rezzed it. This resulted in the sim being attacked and the unwitting victim being banned and ejected.
This brings up something you all should know. NEVER take objects from strangers! If someone gives you an object or an item, make sure its someone you know and trust. If it's not, delete it. Do not rez it anywhere but get rid of it.
If you do rez the object, get the name of the original owner or the person who gave it to you. Most griefers have disposable accounts that are only a few days old or have no payment info. Many also have no groups, which is another good clue that they're just griefers who use the account to attack then dispose of before Linden Labs can ban their account.
Griefers love to see people get pissed or emotional, so the next thing to remember is to stay calm. If you start raging or crying or making drama, all you are doing is giving them satisfaction. NEVER let them get to you, or you give them power. If you have to deal with someone who is screaming on voice or spamming text...block them.
Sometimes, like in this situation apparently, the griefer is someone who didn't realize they were doing anything wrong. Even people who have been on Second life for a while can do something newbish and get in trouble. Don't judge, just get the facts and try to help. Sometimes a griefer might wind up to be just some 2 day old player who didnt realize that object was a sound spammer.
If we remember this, we'll all be able to enjoy Second life together.
And remember, Keep on Krafting!
