As noted by our friends over at Reuters, the Spanish socialist and conservative parties have made griefing accusations against each-other. Never mind that no actual damage can be done to the sites in question, and that a few minutes with the land-management options would have entirely prevented pretty much all the issues that were described - unless the parties were in so much haste to get into Second Life that they omitted doing their research.

A quick (and awkward) visit to the site of Partido Popular's Second Life site (pictured), shows that they've gone rather a bit farther than that - throwing the baby out with the bathwater, essentially. You can't really get into it at all. Full bans are in place, with only three avatars allowed entry, and the parcels on every side of the site (owned by others) are also no entry. If you are interested in what Partido Popular has to offer, then you need to pull out the telescope and do it from a distance. You can look, but there's no getting close. Should those bans actually come down, well ... almost all the surrounding parcels are damage/combat enabled (which is unusual for Second Life). That does seem rather a silly situation, but nobody ever said politics had to make sense.
