Phil Deakins Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I've read about it somewhere but I can't remember where and I can't remember the details, so...I've just had several messages (bottom right corner) in SL like this:-<Name> (<name>) is now known as <Name>I just got another one as I was typing this.Why am I getting those messages? I don't recognise the name at all. (there's another one). I checked who's following me and found one person - not the same person but I removed it anyway. There is nobody in my friends list with a name that's remotely similar, and I'm not following anyone at all. So what's it all about. (and there's another one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Sautereau Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It`s a region message when some one changes their nick, harmless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceOneders Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I noticed that a few days ago too but forgot about it. Do you know how it works exactly? Is it just automatically on for everyone in that region who changes his or her display name? Does it only show when you change your profile while you're inworld or does it also show when you first login after changing your profile on the web?

Perrie Juran Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 i have never understood the logic or reason behind those messages. the only conceivable place where i could think of a purpose for it would be a roleplay sim as far as i'm concerned it's just more spam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 I agree. I had several of them before I decided to look at followers and such, and then to post about. And then I had more of them while I was writing the post. BUT... they were all identical. One person changing their name to the same name every time.

Claireschen Hesten Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 it's a sim message that pops up when someone changes their display name but you don't have to be in the same sim as the person residing on a corner plot i've had display name change notifications from people on bordering sims i can only think everyone in a certain range gets it even if not on the same sim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
