Fionalein Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi I recently ran into a new phenomenon - my block list goes poof and all the SPAMing mall owners that added me without consent are sending me stuff again - I am not very happy but now I wonder: is blocking a server or viewer sided action? Where can I look for a solution? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwin Alcott Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 i think its viewer and account side... when doing a clean install it might be wiped? When i block people i have to do it several times for different accounts i use, and using more than one machine to play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionalein Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) It is weirder: I just took a closer look now and it went away - I got all the SPAM - It came back on a relog but then I already had the SPAM Edited July 28, 2018 by Fionalein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of both & when the cached block list gets out of sync with the server block list, blocks can fail. I'm not 100% sure how it all works, but as far as I understand it: Your block list is stored on the LL servers, so if you login with clean cache, the block list will download. You have a local cached copy of your block list stored in the viewer cache folder named YOUR_AVATAR_UUID.cached_mute You can open this file in a text editor. If something "goes wrong" when the viewer loads the cached block list during the login process, the block list can be empty or partly empty & blocks will then fail. The block list file can become corrupted (because aliens...) or it could be so large that it can't or doesn't load into the viewer in time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
