Sandra8675 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I went to 'the skins' Legacy location yesterday to look at bodies. I started getting all these IMs... Like around 30 IMs from this person wanting me to join something... I don't really know. And I did NOT ACCEPT anything the person was trying to send me. I did write to the person before BLOCKING them and said that I wanted them to stop writing me and to stop sending me stuff. Again ... I did not accept anything from this person. But... I did write to them which may be the problem. And I did block them. But... I did not matter that I blocked the offender. I get 100s of spam sent to my inventory. It was awful. And I could not use EDIT to find out who exactly the offender was. So... I did block everyone in RECENT. I don't know what else to do. Because... I'm still getting things sent to my inventory. Can anyone tell me what I may be able to do or who I can write to to tell them whats going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nick... No... it was not messages about 'the shop.' I'm already a member. And the messages, etc were about free items that had nothing to do with 'the shops.' And i was getting 100s of items sent to inventory which i did not accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try the NC thing. The Shops, TMP, Legacy, Classic, Default, System Avatar, Meshbody or what ever they are calling themselves do have a group with group chat but they don't like/you aren't allowed to say anything negative about the products or you'll get kicked out. If you've joined a group called "The Shops" you will want to join the rather unhelpfully named "LiveHelp" if you want access to group chat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont remember what it is. that might help stop all that. @Whirly Fizzle your help might be needed here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I think the setting Drakona is thinking of is in Preferences/Firestorm tab/Protection sub-tab, "enable spam protection". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Oh, that one. Preferences, Privacy tab, General sub-tab. UNcheck "Automatically accept inventory items". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 There are some dishonest people that'll scrape a group list to send spam. Someone did that recently for a club using the list from a live music group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
