Alright thanks, its my first time using this forum and kept getting notifications

Nick, there isn't, so far as I know, any device or scheme that allows you to actually either determine which accounts are alts owned by a particular person, or track an avatar on the grid. However, good detective work can often make it appear that someone is doing these things.

Alts can be guessed, based on name similarities, similarities in communication styles, and places frequented.  And, if you have told ANYONE about an alt, you can consider that information is compromised.  ("Three people can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.").

It's easy to determine if a person is on line, although not WHERE they are on the grid.

My viewer (Firestorm) can see avatars a long ways off, and cam to them.  If someone teleports to a region within three or four regions of where you are, they may be able to pick you up.  Teleporting rapidly between a person's known haunts, when you know they are on line, will often be enough to locate them.

Alright I understand that completely. Im also following the advice LittleMe Jewell had submitted above for extra measures. How do i have a post closed from more answers? I think im finished here

Ok. You don't believe us - about the land survey / mapping bots, or the fact they are not literally "following you".  But you're not giving up, either.

How do you want us to console you, or was it your intention to just complain without accepting any advice?

Really isn't a need for the passive aggressiveness i'm not complaining at all. Littleme Jewell has given me advice about some possible solutions, which im following as we speak. Tc

Sounds like you will be giving up on Second Life, then. Can we have your stuff?

False.

@NickixSantosThere are many places I visit where I see these bots just like @Nick0678mentioned above.  They pop into a region and then pop out. I've never bothered to look at them.  A few land companies have these that run all day and night, in and out of a region multiple times a day.  I think you're overreacting just a bit.  

How exactly are they griefing you?  Going in and out of a region is hardly griefing.  

I know appearing in a region isnt griefing that actually isnt a big concern for me. But i cant downplay being followed several times a day across my other accounts with the same avis  that have tracked me on my main. I've even tp'd to some remote sims on my 3 week alt to test, which 3 of the tracking alts found my location and actually tp'd back twice within 15 minutes. That doesnt sound like bot activity to me it sounds like someone might have personal information they got somehow through SL or somewhere. This happens daily now and the fact i can be found by the same people on each account is concerning to me. I wouldnt make a post if it was i felt it was petty.

But it's not griefing if all they are doing is being there.  You might not like them, but if they aren't actually doing something, just ignore them.

I'm concerned my account is compromised because its not just one avi this is happening to. How i can be followed by the same people on separate accounts? I dont want to risk my lindens being stolen or personal information. Can this be through accessing my IP address? Any clarity for this would be appreciated

So, the bottom line is that the OP has no evidence other than coincidence to suggest that someone is tracking him/her, and because the visitors are not actually doing anything except being there, there is no abuse.  The solution is pretty clear: Don't worry about it. 

Its honestly no coincidence, they tp'd off to fast to even get a screenshot unless i start activating shadowplay. At my home region they've been parcel banned after they tried coming to my home. At least when i log in, they would appear several times at my home region PLUS any other region i visit. I am stating with confidence i dont have a tracker on. Because this exact thing is happening on my alt as well. It cant simply be down to coincidence because its been over the span of 6 months. 

All im asking is advice on how to counteract their griefing tools because its beyond one SL account

The only way anyone can track you from region to region is if you are wearing a tracker or you have given someone map rights.   You claim that you have haven't accepted anything from anyone or given map rights -- and if that is true then nobody is truly tracking you, regardless of what it might seem like.

BTW - How do you know that these are all alts of the same person?

How would it be possible for 5 of these people (3 months of SL age) able to find a noob alt i made on a very remote sim? This is on a totally different account, one of which i have no friends and not accepted gifts there. 

Im trying to understand if there is any malware that could be involved or something beyond SL.. How can they find me on two different accounts? And as for whether they all belong to one person? I believe this is the case because a close friend helped me and noticed their log in times were seconds off and would remain online for days. 

As for gifts do they need to be attached to be useful to the griefer?

So far i've filed several abuse reports regarding a handful of alts which remain logged in for days. I only recently noticed the main and his/her alts would tp to a spot on a region i live in and tp out within 5-15 seconds. All of these accounts appear as orange clouds to me. I believe im being traced from region to region because they would appear on a sim i tp to for a very brief moment then log out. This could happen up to 5 times a day for the duration of when im online, also these alts usually end up at public hubs or sandboxes but not sure where they spend most hours of each day. 

I messaged the person what their deal was. No answer, so i chose to not dive more otherwise i'll be feeding the troll. I never have accepted random items from strangers or even friends. Nor have i ever issued anyone map rights.Somehow even on my very discreet shopping alt i was found at a remote sim which is (i believe) almost impossible since its a whole other account when one of their griefer alts found me there.

I want to know how this is possible and how i could counteract this. Blocking doesnt solve the issue if i cant use an alternative or new account and still be tracked.
