Before you do
anything, you should secure your land from griefers.
Immediately go to your land options and set it to the
following:
1. Open
your Land Options.
2. On
the OPTIONS tab, make sure that you have UNSELECTED "Edit
Terrain" and and the TWO boxes that say "ALL RESIDENTS" next
to "CREATE OBJECTS" AND "OBJECT ENTRY". If you
do not UNSELECT these, you could come home to find your land
seriously changed by a griefer.
2. On
the MEDIA tab, ALWAYS restrict sounds to your own parcel.
This will prevent you from gearing the neighbors objects and
them hearing yours. This is especially important
if you have breedable animals.

Again,
communication is the key, we are pretty easy going, as long
