Dealing with teleport spam and spammers

[Tsai Cheng]

I receive frequent teleport spam, everytime from a different throw-away avatar, but all of them are for the same venue in Second Life, a bad-looking adult place with lots of advertisement boards and general uglyness around.

I went there once, to see what it was. After calling them on their spam, I was blocked from going there. They still spam me though..

I am not sure if this action is the kind I can file an Abuse Report on, but I would want to AR the right person for this anyways, since the spam accounts are switched all the time.

Any suggestions or other solutions? Blocking releports by non-friends is not an option for me.

File an abuse report against the owner of the place and mention specifically that they are using multiple bots for spamming. Tha usually helps.

.. and document, document, document! Every time you get a teleporting spambot, make sure you copy out that section of your chat log and add it to the top (complete with date/time stamps) of a longer text file you use to collect that information.

Each time you get a new one, file a new AR against the owner of the establishment being advertised .. and include the entirety of your spam log file.

Ok, thank you. I will do this. The land is group owned, the building is on the name of another avi. So it'll take some sorting who is behind it, but I guess I can just pick one of those avi's and then name the whole bunch of alts in the story.

The spam should have the name of the object,mwhich you can click on to get the owner. Mute the object and owner.
