Begging for Lindens

[Lucy Bronet]

In the past two months there has been a crazy increase in the number of day-old avatars begging in as many groups as they can join for free for 40 or so Lindens.  As soon as they post in a group, they leave it.  But it has gotten to the point where they have hit virtually every aspect of Second Life groups.  Crazy amount of spamming all over Second Life. Their profile pics are clearly false (some even have the watermark of the web site they were copied from still on them).  Can anything at all be done about them?

Other than the groups banning the people - not much.  If the same account is spamming multiple groups with the same info, then you could Abuse Report them.  However, just creating free accounts and begging for money is not against the TOS.

Sometimes if I'm in the mood I'll play with them. I will tell them that I can give them some money.  I'll keep up idle chit chat for 10 minutes and then send them 1 linden.  They are not very happy at that point, but it's fun. 😜

Is Kevin at it again?

The pain of dead groups who's owners have long since moved on and we're only in because the name is something saucy.

We really need new group infrastructure

At least it's the one day olds begging for literal pocket change.

There's one guy repeatedly hitting clubs, dancer, escorts, and anyone on the edgy sex-type group lists for RP and he promises to pay you 40K.

No surprise, he doesn't.

He's on so many club ban lists now he's actually becoming well known, as in (in)famous. Sad thing? Some people fall for it.
