Crashers

[Maroonenahmoron]

I've found someone who is able to crash other viewers by malicious means, what can I do?

First: If you know or not know the guy and being a victim yourself, file an abuse report (in your Viewer: Help-Report Abuse) If you are right there, try to send a picture of it, that is done if you tick the option "use this screenshot". If you don't have a name, use "Governor Linden" as a place holder. File the rest of the AR as requestet. Make the details short-clear and add also the location again. If you crashed, file the AR as soon as possible. Helpful articles:

This is usually done using a "graphics crasher," a set of corrupt textures that make your graphics card give up the ghost and dump you out of SL.

You can disable your ability to see the crasher with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+1.  However, it also turns off almost everything else in the world too.  It's a temporary defense to give you enough time to get away and/or to Mute the person who's wearing the item.
