Alazarin Mondrian Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 That's what I used to think, Void, until I noticed it happening during a spam attack. I presume they block their avatar name from showing up in search. Annoying but predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the advice I was given awhile ago and, everytime I have used Governor Linden as the offender, the griefing has been resolved in just a few minutes.

Liisa Runo Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Also if you right click the griefing object and select AR, the name of the griefer get automagically filled to the report. (atleast in v1 based clients) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, sometimes griefers fool some new person by giving them something, and the new person rez the grief without knowing what it does. Also there was a hax to change the owner of a prim. I hope LL fixed that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying but predictable. there was a period during which residents could do that, but I'm led to believe it's been fixed. you can manually confirm that an avatar has been banned by checking their V2 profile page... if it says "this profile has been disabled" that means the avatar has been banned. there are different messages for profile that are limited, but that one shows up even if you aren't logged in.... it's what I use to verify "confirmed kills" after I AR content thieves and scammers.

Melita Magic Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Set a parcel for sale this morning and this greeted me on teh parcel across from it. I ARed it and hope it will be cleared soon. While standing there I saw another one go by, crash through the Linden rest stop, go into the ground nose first, go skyborne, and then plough into a small hill, before it disappeared. (I haven't been to my parcel in some time. I also did not touch the car I saw drive by while I was there. Just fyi.) Car mowing down a Linden rest stop then flying past the tree tops. I don't understand this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR the box, not its owner. That usually can fill in a name even if the name no longer exists. We may have zapped that guy for you with a series of ARs yesterday Arbor Patrol got up to when somebody found glowing white boxes all over a few sims, near I should add, some of Prok's land... (in between Prok and another mainland rental person, some abandoned land. And then we found them again on some other sims). Or it could be unrelated but similar looking.

Pussycat Catnap Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Its a good idea when the objects are cluttering abandoned land to also request the land have an auto-return set -and- be set for sale or auction. That way you work towards a solution for the future as well, and not just until the next spammer drops by. The vehicles fly up when they hit a lag spike - especially during a sim crossing. Drive a vehicle you yourself own sometime and you'll experience this. And then you'll find yourself ejected and sent somewhere other than where your vehicle went. And of course it also happens to those automated empty vehicles. On the rights parts of mainland you can find vehicles in mid air about 10-40m off the ground over almost every lot which lacks auto-return. Especially in older sim with residents who have first land that no longer use SL... Most of them are not there on purpose. Rather drivers get ejected by land and are unable to ever find their vehicle. Somewhere in Bay City there's a pink Hello Kitty car with my name on it as owner... and somewhere about 10-40 sims out from Fietzo to the east I think, is a spaceship with my name on it. - I've been waiting to see the spaceship pop into my lost and found folder since 2009... and the Hello Kitty car since last week. All I know is I ended up under a bridge when I lost the car, and I found myself 10 sims away from where the lag hit me and standing on a telephone wire in between two pigeons back in 2009 when the space ship tossed me. I still regret not screenshotting that as it was the most amazing location to just randomly land in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melita Magic Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Oh I do request for auto return to be set. I just have said it a lot in the forums recently so I thought I'd give that part a rest. These cars are all owned by the same resident and do not have avatars inside them. They just go off-road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I love random amazing landings! A friend of mine logged in one day to find that her home sim was down, and SL had dropped her onto the back of a mule somewhere! Luckily she was so pleased, she stayed put and took pics. :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melita Magic Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I do see a big difference between 100 (I'm guessing) unmanned prims shooting down various avenues of Linden land, 24/7, to go anywhere willy nilly through people's property, and stack up roadside - and driving a vehicle oneself down a road. With the major difference that one can control a vehicle one is driving, at least most of the time, and can go pick it up if it wrecks. I have a parcel for sale across from this mess and I don't understand why this form of griefing (think of it - prims shooting out everywhere uncontrollably) goes on and on. I used to think they were cute but that's when I thought those were Linden cars, and that's before there were 100s of them, out of control.
