Spam from unknown peoples

[David33FR Mayne]

I receive a lot of spam by group discussion to come to portugues clubs (the last one : Clube Hyades)

I can't mute these peoples.

They are not in my friends list.

I never asked to be registered for promotional ads.

4 discussions opened a day  with about 30 peoples inside at each time.

i think it's a bot.

 

Is there someone in linden lab who could help me with that? THANK YOU

[Freya Mokusei]

It's probably a group. If so, just leave the group.

You can mute anyone at all, by clicking their name, then the 'Gear' icon and then 'Block'.

Linden Lab don't come here.

[David33FR Mayne]

it's not a group.

 

I kept only my own groups

[David33FR Mayne]

[David33FR Mayne]

i just came to close all discussions....but if it happen again...i will take pictures

[Freya Mokusei]

Then I'm a little confused by what you mean when you say "a group discussion".

Is it anything to do with this? http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussion-Forum/SPAM-from-mmook-com/td-p/2331237

How do the messages arrive, as IMs to you personally? Are they sent while you're online?

[Trinity Yazimoto]

well i dont think a bot can open a group chat or a conference.

but maybe you are added (without your consent) to conference by ppl.

that can be done by sm1 you have been friend with (and then has your calling card). Try to fig out who start the conference, and ask this person to delete your calling card from their inventory.

A lot of person think that opening conference for spamming is ok. Ive been bothered really often by this and even defriending, muting the person who start the conference (after of course, having asked politely to this person to delete my calling card) nothing cured.. till i yelled in the conference chat lol.

The other persons you see in the lists are probably almost all other victims like you. You need to find who start these conferences and ask they stop to invite you.

(now with the new CHUI in LL viewer, idk if ppl need the calling card or no for adding ppl to conference. But in firestorm it does.)

[Freya Mokusei]

Ah, okay. Teleport offers and friends requests.

You can set yourself to Busy to discard all requests and offers as they come in. This can prove problematic for IMs that you want to reply to, though.

Not too sure what else to suggest, but it sounds like someone's not playing nice. You can Abuse Report them (using the Report button in your viewer, again under the Gear Icon), but that will take a while to get the accounts banned.

[Trinity Yazimoto]

oh yes, i see ! 

its a conference

and since you accepted the friendship request this person has your calling card and then can invite you again and again to their conference.

request this person they delete your calling card.

Now they can not delete you, what is a bit a shame. We should be able to choose who have our calling card or not. 

Try muting, blocking.. but well... it didnt work for me.... the person even muted me and i was still recieving these conferences. So well, insist really hard for this person delete your calling card.

[David33FR Mayne]

the conversation is open to many people...my exemple is not a good exemple.....but peoples inside use my name to tp me many times.

 

I will post pictures if it happens again

[David33FR Mayne]

and i know the "group discussions" (not only the discussion in group) slow down SL.

 

It's why i dont take any more groups.

[Freya Mokusei]

Sure, pictures are good.

Trinity's probably correct that it's a conference, it can be hard to find the host. Check the list of names in the conference for any that you recognise, and either remove them as a friend or get them to remove your contact card.

Trinity says that blocking the host doesn't help, but I haven't tried this.

well that puzzled me to see that even after muting her, it was still going on.

and i think she also muted me bec she stopped answering my requests about deleting my calling card and i got no answer from her the day ive been yelling in the conference chat.

i had to beg other participants to ask her to delete my calling card one time for all..

Some were not happy to see me yelling like this, but some others understood and asked her.. This was happening several time a day and was damn annoying. 

After this day, it stopped.. so i guess she finally deleted my calling card.

knowing how works conference, a lot of ppl are too much lazy to select who they add to their conference. they select their whole ammount of calling cards and add them at once. So well.. one time you have accepted a friendship request, you have given your calling card and you are trapped.

Calling cards should be deleted as soon as you dissolve a friendship, or at least should be disabling the conference thing.

[Pussycat Catnap]

Pick whoever opened the conversation and mute them (if you can find them - never had the problem of not finding them that others note above).

Do it a few times and you will have knocked out the key players.

Also, its a private conversation you've been invited to. So... you can SAY ANYTHING. Rules on being polite in public don't apply.

 

- Spam into it, an entire novel of random text pulled from wikepedia, non-stop, until you get tossed out.

 

For me, selective removal of a few friends cured problems like this a few years back. A few of them I told them why I was no longer seeing them as a person to be friendly with - a few I just quietly removed (if they had been a person I formerly spent time hanging out with, I was more direct with the 'you've ruined the trust' conversation).

That was patched to a resolution almost a year ago.

I suggest instant blocking anyone who ever gives you a TP offer that is not an actual 'I hang out with you' friend that you're in mid-real-conversation with. If its any consolation - you will forget who such people are within weeks, and when you go back to clean up your block list, and remove them from it when you can't recall why they're in there - they're not likely to show up again.

You might also want to start cleaning up your actual groups. These kinds of spammers find people from a number of sources. One of them is certain kinds of groups - you can control that one. The others are from trolling the list of people in the same place as them, and sometimes trading names: harder to control those two...

I swear some of these places PAY NEWBIES to hand over names, or pay newbies to do the TP offers... Because the few times I have ended up with such a 'frenemy', it was a newbie I'd formerly helped, or from a place I knew was in that newbies picks...
