A note to all Misfits residents
Due to your grid being allowed to roam freely in mine but my grid is not allowed the same curtesy, I have banned the entire grid from entering mine.
I have tried to contact Misfits grid and have gotten no response. Therefore the decision was best suited to protect my grid since i can't validate avatars in Misfits grid.
From what i have heard all but one grid is banned from Misfits grid
negative comments or calling me a Karen will get your comment deleted\, not trying to start a fight.

the error message banned or closed is still the same so i figured banned. didn't know until after i posted this they were a closed grid ot only one. Didnt know it was a pedo grid either.

I didn't know about the pedo issue until recently, only new about child avis there, nor did i know until after the fact it was a closed grid, i mean they only allow access to one grid.

not blocking darkhearts grid, blocking misfits grid was a good call after recent things i found out. But there is no reason to block darkhearts grid, i havent had any issues with any of there members.

the point of my post is that i couldn't verify if the avatar was an adult avi or child avi, the grid is known for child avis. I recently found out its al a major pedo place and i dont want that at my grid. recently they were coming for my furniture vault.

I had an argument with them years ago about exactly that, but I was in the Hypergrid business, not here. I've blocked the grid since then. I won't say anything more about it, not the pedo issue that comes up every few months and then never results in any consequences...

There are things such as private grids that allow residents in and out, and no one else. It'd kind of like a group access only private parcel or private region, except at a grid-wide level. You don't have to " teleport to the grid to verify there adult avatars" as you say. You only need to verify who, and with what kind of AV, is coming to your grid from there. The fact is, there are both adult and child AVs on the grid.
However, if, as you say, you "have no way to verify if there adult avis coming to my grid" from Misfitz, then I imagine you have no way of knowing if visitors from other grids have adult or child AVs. That's the situation of every place in OS where people can't be on guard 27/7 from the threat of child AVs (to the extent they actually present a threat). Thus the child-gate contraption.

not entirely what i meant, with an open grid i can go there and see what the avi looks like, with a closed grid I cannot so again blocking them access is the only way to protect the members of my grid.

The grid has a lot of child AVs because it is a haven for child AVs. You only have access to it if you become a member. You can only become a member if a current member vouches for you. That's a way to keep out griefers who attack child AV friendly places.
Off-topic a bit: In SL, griefers would target the same, plus femdom and LGBTQ+ places. I'm not sure that griefing was also a problem at Asian and Black focused places, but I have heard that there was a lot of racism in SL. All and all, SL/OS are not necessarily very welcoming places, but OS is more so than SL.

People ought to realize that there are multiple ways a hypergrid jump can fail without the grid jumped from, having been banned. Not every admin checks their contact e-mails regularly so one shouldn't be quick to assume their grid has been banned but try alternative ways to get to the destination.

Even the Misftiz grid states on the home page that only residents of Infinite Grid can HG teleport there. Infinite Grid seems as unsavoury as Misfitz from the limited amount of information I've gleaned. There was a rather heated discussion about Misfitz in Hypergrid Business a few years ago.

I dont recall that article but i know what comes from misfits and i just cant risk it exspecially not being able ot teleport to the grid to verify there adult avatars.

@mistressdalgato once again. It's not 'banning' it would be virtually usless to go one by one and ''ban' each grid.
They have HG visitors disabled with exceptions. Might sound like the same, but it isn't: it isn't personal with each grid, just an overall default.
Also, the reason of the 'but one', is because they have a very tight cross-grid relationships with that grid, ensuring consistency on their policies (mitigating anything close to potentiallty dangerous) - and a similar approach to safe-keeping.

I saw your post in the Box shortly after I posted here and thought of editing or deleting my post but realized it was general enough it could apply to other cases too. So often people cry they have been banned when likely in many cases it is simply a matter of the hypergrid being wonky but that you for posting your response,

Nope, what you said still applies. HG-ing is WEIRD AF. Sometimes people will raise tickets in DH like 'OMG can't get to R. Lion!!!'...and it can be a thousand things... Like... I think we all know to go back to somewhere in your grid of origina you first click home button, then go to another region - and even then sometimes worth restarting too..
So yeah, totally valid

Yes, quite often i have to do a double jump...to the main grid and then the region. It's not something that i'd take personally. Or a region might be restarting. Then there are admins that go into revenge mode and do ban whole grids for the misdemeanors of a few...that's collective punishment

What I've heard is that sometimes places in OS are too far apart, so you need to jump to an intermediate place first. I don't understand how "distance" is measured and what distance is "too much." But I have found that a one-two jump can work.

No grids are 'banned' from MG. It's a private sim.
And given your previous comments about small avis - why would you even want to go there?

no one said I did want to visit but i wont stop my residents from visiting, the point was if my residents cant visit, aside from keeping them safe then the ban was necessary.

Of course, your decisions. Same as in DH we don't ban OSG even though they do have us banned.
Lots of choices.

if there are offending avatars from dh grid i will ban those but not the whole grid, i have not banned anyone from that dh though. I entirely disagree on os banning dh

Either way, what I was trying to get to is: I honestly don't think it's anything specific to grids, at a technical level. Don't think they have hardcoded which ones can't but the other way around.
