The bots go around the SL™ grid collecting information. They strictly adhere to the following information collection policy:

• They only visit parcels that are marked "Show in search" or that are marked for sale to anyone or that explicitly list MetaverseInk Masters on the Allowed Residents access list. Within the parcels marked "Show in search", they skip those that explicitly list MetaverseInk Masters on the Banned Residents access list.
• They collect titles, descriptions, and configuration settings of those parcels, as well as titles, descriptions and other information about objects on sale in those parcels.
