Docent Griefer Training

Today I went to training for ISTE Docents on dealing with griefers on ISTE Island. Here are the major points, according to Thunder. 1) If someone seems to be griefing, read their profile for Rez date and strange groups, check to see if they are an ISTE member. 2) Make a sweep of the island a couple of times during any docent shift. Engage any visitor in conversation so that people know ISTE is cared for. Wear radar. Look for objects left behind. (Someone told about a super radar tool: SG HUD Elven Bow goes to 300 Meters.) 3) One thing a griefer might bring and leave on ISTE Island is an avatar disrupter, a device that deforms your avatar. Therefor, we return objects found, after taking a photo and noting the owner, passing this info on to management by way of report. People who leave obvious griefing items behind will be banned. 5) At events things happen faster. We remove [eject] distraction for benefit of attendees and presenter, then go through the steps to see who they are and help them if they are having mic or similar problems, maybe they can return (offer help via IM before ejecting). To do this we Must be in ISTE Management group which all docents can be in. See Louise or Claird. Docent needs to be added to that title. 6) Log Chat and IMs with date and time stamp. Management needs that info via notecard for banning. We should file it to Linden Labs too. Send Louise or Claird the notecard with chat. Linden labs: Help menu: Report abuse. They can ban from entire estate. 7) Keep IM open through all this. 8) Make sure you file both reports: LL and Claird or Louise 9) Do not unban someone that someone else bans. Talk to Louise or Clarid if you think they should be unbanned.

Working at ISTE

Cyrus and I continue to work as docents Saturdays at 5 AM SLT. It's a nice time when we are pretty sure we are going to get to hang out together at least for that one hour during the week. Sometimes we are really busy, but there are Saturdays when almost no one comes around. Today was fun. There were two educators there at the same time who each stuck around to talk a while. They were already ISTE members. One was from Scotland and the other Australia. One taught legal studies and the other was a theater teacher who works with 16 different campuses. I can't get this kind of diversity in real life! I love the international aspect of ISTE!
