Basically, even without a location you can annoy people. Plus, people are "creatures of habit" and tend to go the same places a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect halloween topic In fairness, if one has access to the group list of an existing group to which the person you are targeting belongs, you can use it to find out if someone is online now. But that's obviously a much more cumbersome process than using a HUD that sends you alerts when someone logs in. And while it can't show where you are, as Innula notes,it's often not difficult to surmise that they'll be at their known home, or at a favourite club, store, gathering place, or whatever. And yes, you can block, derender, or mute . . . but that doesn't stop them from seeing you, talking about you, etc. I can think of a dozen ways this can be used to harass someone without even trying. It is creepy. Fortunately, it is a very great deal less dangerous than it would be in RL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another case / Edge case: a) Troll / griffer creates "nice" alts and befriends you. Then, if also b) By default, you have "show online status" set for friends. As a result, the meanie's Alt can always see if you are online. (Similar goes for "Can find on map".) Does this sound like a valid scenario?

As Innula suggests, finding a person in SL doesn't have to involve fancy technology; just a bit of patience and good observational skills. Most people tend to hang around the same areas and talk to the same friends day after day and they drop clues in conversation that suggest the events, shops, and clubs that they enjoy. It doesn't take great detective skills to predict where you are likely to show up tomorrow. If you let your mind chase down too many rabbit holes after "end cases", you're on the road to paranoia. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you not able to take it off? It's the OTHER person who has the tracker. They are either worn as a hud or rezzed out in their home. I could get one and add "Robberinthemuseum" to the list and it will ping me or send me an email every time you log in and out. You would not be notified.

Definitely do NOT trust them with any of your money -- unless they are the banking alt that never leaves home and never hits the MP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I log my first account in once every couple of weeks to steal his L$500-a-week stipend, then my other two alts steal it straight off me. It's literally like being the parent of two teenage girls. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me that it has been over a month since I last logged the Premium alts in to steal their stipends. /me scurries off to steal L$ Correction -- It apparently has been many, many months since I stole their Stipends. I'm now RICH (well, only sort of) Edited October 28, 2022 by LittleMe Jewell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
