There seem to new spamming trend in SL.
I repeatedly (daily) get spam from various stores and creators.
It's sent by an object, so it cannot be blocked. Well, it CAN be blocked, but it doesn't make a difference, the spam message get through anyway.
Here's an example: [MODERATOR EDIT: Identifying information removed]
The owner of the object, in this case, is [Moderator Edit: Username Removed], 5 years+ old. Member of 10-20 groups, which ALL has "SPAM" in the name and seems to be groups that teach how to promote stuff with spam.
Blocked the owner too, makes no difference.
Going to the location if the object in [Moderator Edit: Region Name Removed], reveals a HUGE array of "servers" that sends spam.
The way it's done is that these servers cycle though large lists of SL residents and check their online status. When they find someone who's online, they send a spam message similar to the one above.
I get at least one a day, normally 2-3 from different shops.
I report it EVERY time to Linden Labs, but, as usual, nothing happens.
I find it sad that it's now legit to spam SL users, and afraid this might be what put an end to my, so far, 16 year+ SL experience.
Any others who get the same, and either know how to get rid of it, or know how to wake up LL on this?
I've tried contacting them directly, which is almost impossible, and they obviously just referred me to use the in-world report.
I could as well bang my head in the wall it seems.
