There's a simple griefer trick that I'd rather not share here.  Basically, though, the hover tag is one of the best ways that we have of keeping the bad guys of SL from being totally invisible among us.

There is a nice way of doing it by giving the user a choice in allowing it with the RLV functions that some viewers have.  However, the User needs to allow it by having RLV enabled.  If they don't have RLV enabled, it's just going to give them the RLV message.

If you're unfamiliar with RLV, it's highly recommended that you read that wiki page.
