A few minutes ago I was tabbed out looking at clothes on the marketplace, and when I tabbed back in one of my friends told me that someone else said I was a hacker, and that I was trying to send stuff to near by people.

Are you in the GreenZone group ?  A vendor of 'security products' has added the entire membership of that group to his blacklist, and is selling devices and huds which detect anyone on that list and report them to the device/hud owner as a greifer and/or hacker.

Exactly! People wander off or look at something else on screen. I try to make sure I go home at least before I leave the computer for too long, but not always. I would never buy from someone who acused me of copy botting.

the funny thing is that I was home (I dont have a house), but I set that place to my home.  It wasn't a store anyways, I was in the club there, but yea I wouldnt buy something from someone that accused me of something I didn't do anyways.

Wow - ridiculous. To me that sounds like griefing in itself - isn't it? Spreading false tales about people just because they are in a given group that is harmless in nature? 

That, or paranoid, of the type that begot that 'other' product with Zone in its name to start with.

A lot of people stand still and cam around to shop anyway. The stores with those laggy 'copybot protection' systems that actually are worthless protection-wise are likely half the reason for the lag that causes people to do that.

Oh,,,,, the irony.
