What is MCD Zeus?

MCD Zeus is a suite of tools designed for land owners. Its a modular system that tracks visits, donations, greets visitors and offers proactive protection against potential and known griefers based on 12 key factors, it allows the community of land owners to collaborate effortlessly to keep griefers at bay.

Due to its modular design you can simply utilise the features that best suite your needs, as your needs change so will the system.

What does the MCD Zeus System Do?

  • Zeus HUD - Get notified in real time anywhere on the grid. The HUD can send info every time someone arrives, leaves or donates at one of your parcels, simply wear the HUD. Get dynamic detailed information every time someone visits, includes a link to their profile, the number of visits to your land and the visitors Global Reputation. You will also be notified and warned should the visitor be a known griefer or if they have any active bans.
  • What Zeus Thinks - Our Behavioural Analysis Algorithm can predict Gender and Account Types such as Main, Alt, Noob & Suspicious with surprising accuracy.
  • Visitor Tracker - Track and record every visit to your land, gather key information on each visitor to better understand your customers, track donations, identify people who have never visited you before, instant threat assessment on each visitor and every visit.
  • Visitor Greeter - Create custom triggers to send a message to welcome new visitors, explain the order of things or to thank regulars for their 1,000th visit. All Messages are automatically translated into the visitors native language
  • Manage Land Access - Ban troublesome avatars from all of your parcels grid wide with a few clicks even when you are not in SL. Ban an infinite number of people for any length of time. Add your staff to the Admin List to give them limited powers when you are not around. (Add Bans, manage Ban and Allow Lists).
  • Proactive Protection - Set up custom triggers to keep out undesirables, such as avatars under a certain age, excessive script count, excessive render costs, bad behavior, recently banned, banned from too many places, Avatar Global Reputaion and much more.
  • Vote Kick System - Allow your regulars the ability to start a vote to kick out a troublesome avatar when no admins are around. If the vote is passed with a suitable majority the offender will be banned from all of your parcels for 1 hour. Residents must be on your Allow or Admin list to initiate a vote, but anyone on your local parcels when the vote is initiated can vote (except the target of the proposed ban).

All actions are recorded, as well as all trigger actions, this allows you to see at a glance who is up to no good, and identify potential staff on a power trip kicking people left and right (it happens a lot more than you might think).

Is Zeus TOS Compliant?

Yes, 250%!

Zeus does not harvest or store IP addresses, it uses a complicated evolving algorithm to guess at a users account type, gender and potential behaviour.

This changes and evolves over time based on key avatar statistics, and how such people behave, this is based on millions of visits, 100's of thousands of unique avatars and 10's of thousands of bans.

Please remember that an algorithm can never be 100% correct, sometimes it will get it wrong, so if Zeus banned you from somewhere and you think this is unfair just contact the land owner and they can easily add you to an allow list so you never have a problem accessing that place again.

I can't gain access to a certain parcel!

The MCD Zeus system in the main will not stop you entering a parcel, each owner will set their own set of rules or triggers to remove potential or known troublesome avatars. If you can not access a parcel you need to speak to the parcel owner and ask them to add you to their allow list.

There are somethings you can do to improve your likelihood of accessing parcels. Such as not causing lag, reducing the amount of scripted items you are wearing, lowering your avatar render cost, and most importantly by behaving in a positive manner, if you miss behave and get banned from too many locations this can have an impact on your ability to enter certain parcels.
