  1. its a color setting in firestorm. not entirely sure what it's for, think it has to deal with if they are using objects to speak as them maybe which have spoofed their name, or maybe if they have a display name different then their username.
  2. well, you could have always found the item with the text and returned it, deleted it or if was your own taken it back to inventory. you can always see everything that's in the area by using area search in fs, it pretty much will list every item in the area, then you can click on each one in the list and zoom to it or other choices depending upon if it's yours or not. once finding the offensive item, decide what to do next.
  3. It could be your viewer's settings, some names will change collar based upon your distance to that person and if that person is active of afk or camming around. you can change the colors of peoples names in firestorm depending upon various choices such if they are in shout distance, whisper distance if they are a friend or not if they are a linden if they have mismatched names.
  4. There once was an rlv script that allowed syncing of the user's cam to another's cam, basically letting you see what they saw, or letting them see what you saw. And not directly through rlv itself but your an object with rlv on they can actually speak for you without your consent. the IControl collar allows this, it even allows them to drive you around, walking you where ever they want with you unable to refuse them doing it. mumbler objects can even change what you speak, replacing words to turn you into a bimbo or other various effects. there are even petplay items that can control what you can or cannot say or see and even change what you say to something else. but again that's not directly through rlv itself. it often just uses rlv to prevent you from removing the object doing it. catch me in world sometimes, I might turn you in to my hips or wings and then limit what you can say or emote as them. grr.. the forum split my edited reply again..
  5. Unless the collar has the spy script and that was activated no they cannot see what you are saying in local. even with the spy script on and consented to it cannot see what you say in im or group chat. lsl and rlv cannot monitor or record group and im chat, it lives in another dimension separate from local chat. and in most cases, they cannot even see what you are doing via the cam either unless they are in the same region you are in. Now with the spy script, they can see your login, if you tp and where to and if you sit on things or someone touches your collar. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Protocol/RestrainedLoveAPI lists everything that can be done in rlv, so pretty much if it is not there it cannot be done through rlv or your collar.
  6. Well, technically there is a way to detect if certain people are afk even if they do that. Within rlv there is a restriction that can disable that ability to disable the afk setting and will basically cause a user to be set as afk after 30 minutes. So anyone with rlv on and wearing a relay or collar that has it set to auto could be forced to reveal they are afk. Any scripter could then perhaps write a script that would then use that force tp them out through their collar or relay at that point too. So all someone would need is rlv control zone like object that applies that setting to anyone with an auto-collar/relay. Meaning any sub that cannot turn of their relay in their collar because their owner doesn't allow it would be ejected for being afk. Actually, you would not need an auto typer at all. You could simply run a macro that repeats itself every so often with the sl window in focus. like using an old autoit script macro. It could either type a response and never post it, or just inch the avatar in a random direction every few minutes. Now toward the original topic, I think such a queue would be a great thing especially if it requires user interaction to keep their place or they lost it and were moved further down in the queue. I think it would be beneficial to any kind of sim and not just shopping or event sims.
  7. In Sl.. probably sitting at a club, probably afk. In RL, don't know it changes so much lately which is why I am often afk a lot when I'm in SL. So if you see or find me in world, send a message and you will know which since I do use the auto-respond feature of firestorm with an auto-away timeout set.
  8. Which I do to prevent online stalking by those I don't want to talk to. So unless they already knew my groups or I met them from the group and still a member of the group; they can't see my groups. Luckily a lot of those group hiding groups also don't show the member list in them. So someone cant just join that group then to see when you were last online or if you are online at the moment. So unless they just get lucky joining random groups and ever see you post they won't be able to know. grr.. it split my post when I was trying to edit it and didn't notice.
  9. As a few have mentioned just look at their groups if you can see them then join one of the groups and look them up in the member's list. Now some groups don't show the members list so you might have to try several of their groups until you find one that does. Oh, you can also use this as a method to see if they are online or not too and just marked as offline to you. For no matter what they set their privacy and online status setting to, they will always show up as either online, if logged in or offline if not, in the group regardless of what they chose. Some people like to think they can hide if they are online, but really you cant if you share groups that they are in. Plus there are inworld objects you can buy and use to track them if they log in. Just requires you to be able to rez the item somewhere and leave it out and wait.
  10. An audiobook from 'The Dragonriders of Pern' book series.
  11. Yeah, its the ole gift card/gift item/redelivery of an item you never bought scam. Just do not attach the item at all to begin with and if you did by accident or curiosity, click deny then detach it. then ar the account that gave it to you. lots of people that prey on the noobs in sl at this time hoping they will just accept then attach then not read and click ok. happens every year around the holidays. it can't give you a virus because nothing in sl can directly access your computer outside of the client itself without some other object/application already on your computer acting as a go-between
  12. well yeah, since you are replying from the email. so it will send that information back to them. so yes if you don't want them to know your email always wait until you log back in then reply to someone.
  13. If they knew all the tricks why were they asking for help... I don't think anyone here really knows all the tricks in sl yet.
  14. I remember places like those, and you can even still find places like those. but the prices might be different now from what they were then. No names off the top of my head at the moment, but they still exist.
  15. No, don't see anything wrong doing that at all. If anyone asks about it just simply tell them what you are doing. Though I use firestorms non-friends auto response to tell them I am not in the mood to speak to non-friends at the moment or to ask me in local, then I just never reply back to them after that and close the im. If they get upset about it or cause drama just mute them at that point. Some people here... both male and female can be rude when told 'no, don't want to talk to you'. But most seem to take it in stride and leave you alone at that point.
  16. Nothing can see in IM or group chats, it is not within lsl to allow that to happen, its sort of a privacy reason why it was never done. to prevent people from logging im's through objects and huds making it easier to doxx people or share private conversations easier without the consent of all parties involved. Like all the chat spy/log items do now for local. which is why a lot of people go to im's now in some sims to prevent being chat spied on without consent. Lots of sims now have or use a chat spy or chat log device either for 'security' use or other reasons in the main hangout areas of the sim and don't tell users that its there. Just search the mp and you can see all the types that exist not including the user made ones of their own. if huds or objects could listen in to im's people would make them so they could spy on what other people were saying when near them and then maybe try and use that to blackmail them or harass them. So it would have had to be a viewer thing, but as stated by a few others that support was never added because of the reasons stated. So because of those reasons you are sort of limited to either learning their language or using copy+paste and whatever online translator you chose to use or staying to local where a translator can be used in-world, which leaves you open to being spied on by anyone near, or even anyone not near.
  17. A lot of people here think anything under the new norm of 7'+ tall amazonian with large breasts and arse is a teen/child. They either forget or never knew the real size of what avatars were back in the prim and sculpty days before mesh. In fact, there are some sims that prefer users to use the shorter realistic heights for avatars in them because the sim and buildings were built around those sizes. But you will still find those that will try and call it a child avatar, as long as in your profile or a pick you basically state they are not and the age they are meant to be that's all that you really ever have to worry about. Though some dance clubs might still kick you from them thinking short is young. I had a friend that had the same problem when she went to clubs. The club owners always claimed she was a child avatar and was not allowed even when she told them she wasn't. Short and 'cute' or anime = child in their eyes.
  18. Oh wow, just seen this thread here. I have seen them before on other places and always thought they were fun ways to see into the minds of the people that posted in them by what they posted. You can actually learn a lot about someone by the manner and the content they post in these seemingly random and innocuous threads. As much as some try to roleplay being someone else here at times the true nature of a person will slip out at times. Just because of the nature of the conversation and how it works.
  19. there is a glitch/issue in sl where if the object in question is detached from the user you cannot always revoke the permissions at that point until they put it on again allowing the other uses to have a sort of permanent control.
  20. yes and no. some auto responses do not cause a message to show up in your im box i think. only the other user gets the message and you see nothing. oh and for those that have never used it there is an option on the second auto response page that lets you send an item to the person getting the response. you can add a notecard with a more detailed response if you wanted or maybe a picture. so go through each of the auto responses by turning them on and then read what they say just so you know which do and do not actually show you something. for I think if you set unavailable you won't see anything and if you refuse group invites or tp requests or friend requests you won't see those either. LOL.. I didn't even realize the original post was from last year. just seen the date on the most recent reply.
  21. did you mean reinstall rlv itself as in the viewer? or just the folder in your inventory? if its the viewer you would need to download and install an rlv enabled viewer. if its the folder do as either Nalates or Klytyna said.
  22. Sadly it sounds like you got pranked by the owner of the sim or someone with rez rights on that sim. Do you have rlv on? if so log out of rlv then detach the item. If not you should be able to just open your inventory and click current outfit and find the item and detach it from yourself. Or if you can actually see the item, right click it and choose to detach from the menu that comes up it should remove it. If it asked for animation permission you can revoke the animation permission in different ways depending upon which viewer you are using. if it was an experience you can go into the experience menu and revoke permission of the experience which should detach the or allow detaching of the item. nothing in sl can be perm attached to you where you cannot get it off, not even using rlv, since rlv can be turned off.
  23. I have a dragon avatar with similar options, it allows me to carry them by my claws while I fly or they can ride on my back and fly me. So something similar to that is probably what the poster needs to find and use if they wanted to go that far allowing someone else to control them. else just a simple vehicle script and animation would work allowing others to just ride on them.
  24. did you not read what I wrote, that was directly from a linden lab csr when I asked them about it. So yes they can do it and will if it is needed. And you misread what Soft said he simply stated they would not be doing a mass rollback of email addresses of users affected by scams like extremerlv, not that they could not or would not change them if the account was reported as compromised. just that the user would need other identifying information on file to prove they owned the account. even then a user could just create a new account and would be free of rlv at that point. that cannot be prevented from being done ever. they could simply recreated their entire account with exactly the same details/avatar/pics/groups/friends and even reget the same inventory over time and then just never log back into the other account. all that would be lost at that time is the age of the account. nothing to really get upset about. the age of the account doesn't make you special by any means. it just shows when you first started in sl with that account. not if you should be trusted or respected or feared or awed over because of some false belief that an older account means you are wiser or better in some way. and after reported as compromised the account is put in hold preventing the other person who had access to the account from being able to log in to that account either. so at that point, no one can use it, it is a dead account. and they can just start over fresh and not care or worry about it.
  25. even if the shortcut is changed on the start screen, live tile, starmenu, taskbar.. you can always go directly to the folder and launch the executable directly, bypassing and changes made to the shortcuts. so even that can be easily defeated by anyone that wanted. you cant change the acual executeable to make it point to the other. so if they have more than one viewer installed and have their login information they can always log in to any other viewer.
