Thanks, I know I'm not the first, and not the last person who is complaining about this. But that's how you change things (at least sometimes). If you keep complaining, and complaining, and complaining about things that suck. At least it's better to talk about it over and over again instead of saying "..oh, look... we had this topic back in 1794... well, let's not bring up that topic again then.". At least in my opinion!

That's an option, yes. But also not for everyone I guess. I must disagree. For me it's a fact: You are banning a person for whatever reason. That person comes back with a new avatar. You are banning that person again. The same person keeps coming back another 100 times, using new accounts over and over again, even if that person knows that he/she isn't welcome. That's griefing.

Hello everyone, I'm opening this topic because of the huge amount of bots who are 'invading' all sims, whether you like it or not. To be precise, I'm talking about the bots who are teleporting on a sim for a few seconds before they leave again. Here are the reasons why I dislike em: They pretend to be a normal avatar with a 'real person behind' (they have more or less 'proper' name, and also no description in the profile that marks em being a data collecting bot) It's obvious that they are collecting some kind of data. What kind of data? Noone knows, and noone agreed to it! They are frequently teleporting into private skyboxes The bot owners are creating more and more accounts to circumvent sim bans The last point is why bot owners should be treated as griefers! As some of you might know, it's only possible to ban 300 avatars per sim via the Property-Info panel. The bot owners are aware of this. They circumvent the decision of the sim owners by creating more and more accounts until the sim owner gives up, or until the banlist has reached it's limit of 300 entries. Even if additional security orbs can handle more than 300 avatars/entries, they always need a few seconds until they eject, enough time for the bots to collect what they want. That's why I would ask @Linden Lab if there is a way to get rid of the unwanted griefers/data collecting bots? Kind regards, Dee
