Amanda Dench Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Over a week ago I banned an avatar on my sim as he was insulting people and making a general nuisance of himself. He is still managing to come on the sim even though I copied and pasted his name on the Region/Estate ban list. I could get an orb and get him ejected that way but whats the point of having a ban list if it doesn't work. Anybody else had this problem?

Freya Mokusei Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Sorry that you struggle. Just to tackle the known tricks I've seen with easy queries:- Are you sure it was the same account? Not an alt, with display name? Are you sure he was on the sim? Not on an adjacent sim and using position-offsets to 'ghost' his way in? Are there adjacent sims? I don't disbelieve your account, but sometimes folks use similar-looking tricks to make it look like they're super-powered. No-one really is, but it'd be interesting if he's figured out a way around even Estate bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Dench Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi Freya, and thanks for replying. There are no ajdacent sims and its definately not an alt with a display name. Its the first time its happend and I'm flumoxed how on earth he got passed the ban.:matte-motes-angry: Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Mokusei Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hm, irritating! My own suggestion would be to look into creating a SEC JIRA case, but you might want to check that other posters feel this is suitable (I'm not certain). Feel free to read through the link above and make your own call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qie Niangao Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I don't think it needs to be a SEC jira because you kinda want other users to be able to see it, and maybe add evidence. There's a related example that claims, weirdly, only bots are evading the bans. I remember this used to be a huge complaint and then later not so much. IIRC back then folks found that parcel bans still worked when region bans failed to have effect, but that was ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Mokusei Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks Qie - good point about visibility. For the OP, this tells more about the PUBLIC JIRA: SL Wiki: Bug Reporting 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Dench Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks for all your replies. I've also banned him from each land plot now, so if that doesn't work I'll be raising a Jira. Thanks again Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hopefully our Patron Saint of JIRAs, Whirly, will be along to enlighten us, but I recall that bans are/were broken under some circumstances -- people could neither ban or unban. Can't remember the circumstances tho. I did a JIRA search https://jira.secondlife.com/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22Ban%22 I found one JIRA that said banning from radar rather than region window did not stick. But there are a lot of other JIRAs (including many requests from merchants to be able to ban ppl from buying their stuff on MP. I wish.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
