Last night we were hit by a chat spam griefer. Basically what happened is some very nasty language was poured into chat completely filling the screen. It was not identified by a speaker's name, but my a series of numbers and I can't tell if it quit on it's own or if it quit because I turned off scripts (usually too late anyway)

We couldn't find any objects that caused it (I had build turned off) but it could have been an attachment. Never did find the culprit, but I think they may have left quickly after triggering itf.

Was wondering if anyone else has come across this and if anyone knows what it is and how to find out who is doing it?

That happened at the Vibe last weekend also and only stopped when Luke turned off scripts.

Some folks really need to get a life...and you'd think that with two to choose from that wouldn't be so hard to do!!! Guess we just have to pity them and remember to TURN SCRIPTS BACK ON after. Else the griefer wins.

Edited to add, I'll bet those numbers at the front of the spam are either the Avie's UUID or the object (attachement) UUID. Make a note of it in the abuse report.

The Mystitool has a feature that will identify talking objects, and from there you can get the offender's name, eject and ban in one fell swoop using the accompanying land tools.

If you don't have a Mystitool yet, I would *highly* recommend getting this HUD based SL swiss army knife; it's only about $400L and worth every cent. It is feature rich, low lag and I can't imagine a day in SL without it. If you need to know how to get one, just IM me in world or look up Mystical Cookie's profile.

Venues like that, I stay for one song outta respect for the musician (whom I went there to see/hear in the first place). Then I poof. So any musicians out there who may wonder why I sometimes poof out so fast, check the parcel perms before you book Wink

Thanks for the tip Grace - do you know if it works for poofers too?
When the offending object is rezzed - it's easy to cope with - stop scripts, see who owns the alien object, return and ban.
When it's an attachment that does my head in - the script doesn't show up in the debug menu of estate tools and turning off scripts on the parcel options doesn't always affect the attachment.
I even did a global turn off scripts affecting the whole sim which had no effect. And when I tried to use beacons to help me - I saw nothing - not realising that there was this new setting called Beacons Always On - which I never noticed before.
Finally the moron got bored and left - but not before I got a big bruise on my forehead from banging my head against the wall.
Several gnomes were ripped to shreds in battlegrounds afterwards but that's ok they were gnomes and therefore must die.
But I'll definitely have the Mystitool on for future performances.

Luke .. honestly the tool has so many features, I don't if there is a poofer detector, but I will ask Mysti and see what she recommends.

[makes a note about Luke's inherent gnome hatred]
