I'm pretty sure that's a typo.  As one who makes more than her own fair share of typos, I think I recognize one when I see it.  Take a look ...

The part that doesn't make sense is the bit about "they use HUDs."  Everyone uses HUDs, after all.  There's nothing evil about using HUDs. Or about using Firestorm, for that matter.  More people use Firestorm than use the standard LL viewer.  I'm willing to bet that includes the majority of scripters, too.  ( Disclosure: I use Firestorm at least some of the time and I spend a lot of time every week scripting. )   There's a tenuous web of innuendo and disconnected information in the post.  There are certainly griefers in SL, and there are certainly many nasty things that you can do to with LSL scripts or by modifying your viewer code.  There's quite a leap from that to the scary conclusion that "this problem is unfortunately common among griefers."

You are correct it was a typo, sometimes a human is capable of making a mistake. also to be exactly clear because it seems that people need led by the hand, huds like the combat huds and other where you can track and locate people, control their viewers, chat spy, and even make your own "attacks". also, lsl scripters do in fact create scripts to greif people, not all mind you in case you want to make a reference to "well that doesn't mean all scripters are bad"

it seems people who reply to some forum posts just want to brush off any concerns other people have about the game. i wonder why that is? why not help people understand and you explain exactly why the huds and lsl scripting wont work? why is that confusing?

this problem is unfortunately common among griefers. they use huds and also a lot of them area scripters who use firestorm. LSL scripting able to hack the viewer and grief you. It happens its real and it continues. also some of these griefers already own "security systems" on sl marketplace, so when you buy them they hack you. Linden labs needs to know about every instance of this type of griefing as it is against federal law to hack a persons computer. The best option is to take print screens of the incident as it happens save as much information as you can about the avatar who griefed you, and report all of the information and logs to Linen labs for investigation by the proper authorities.
