miyagizan Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 (edited) i was tp ing hallowen sims and i landed to a russian sim. i saw somethings writen on local chat in russian language i thought they were talking.. the sender was a number like 445667 anyway i didnt care it much. i tp ed somewhere else but saw the message again on local chat 5 minutes later again... it kept coming on my local channel with different numebrs. i didnt click anything on that sim, i didnt touch anything, didnt receive anything.. didnt join anything. i asked people there and they said it s some sort of ukranian spam. i reloged, detached everything but it kept coming. so i guess a bot there got my name, and recorded to a grp of names list, and it keeps sending spam messages to that name list. i activated enablespam protection on firestorm. i see it blocks messages on local chat with more than 5 lines.. but it s annoying. reporting and blocking doesnt seem to work yet. the message i get on local is this "" AntiSpam: Blocked (???).(???) for sending an instant message with more than 5 lines.""" so u cant see the creators name or profile or group.. but they keep comnig and i see the same msg on local chat AntiSpam: Blocked (???).(???) bla bla bla any of you seen something like that and solved it? this is something i never seen before. u dont need to touch or click anything. it seems spammers just copies your name and send u message forever doesnt matter wherever you are.. each time i click the owner of message on local it gives a different name. i m sure the creator of that spam created many many groups and names for that..

Nalates Urriah Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM @miyagizan When you visited the region they captured your name. Then they just send you IMs. To stop them Block/Mute the sender. In FS you control how Spam Protection works. Preferences->Firestorm->Protection It is not very smart. I suspect most of us don't use this to block spam. One of the more annoying spams is Group Chat via IM. An IM is sent to a number of people which starts a group chat. When one of the people receiving the IM responds everyone gets their response. You can close it but when anyone responds the chat reopens. Very annoying. Blocking the initial sender doesn't do much. Those familiar with the problem DO NOT RESPOND they just file an Abuse Report. The Lindens get on this type of span pretty quickly. I think the quick response is a matter of self protection. As the spammer moves from group to group of people it is likely to flood Support with ARs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
