I have a Sploder device at my mall for guest entertainment. We make nothing off it. Today we discovered that some male creep had installed an invisible cylinder over my sploder to steal the guest's money inputs to the Sploder. I"d say his name here but it's against the rules. BEWARE. Check your Highlight Transparent views. On edit: his initials are TB.

Okay, what is a sploder? I was going to check on SLX but it seems to be down for me (probably my useless ISP's fault) and SLB doesn't return anything when I search for "sploder".
Is it one of these newfangled gambling devices? |

Is it one of these newfangled gambling devices? Ordnial it is a raffle ball of sorts...in that everybody wins on a payout, and it bases the amount randomly. The person it picks as the "grand prize" winner takes the biggest bounty and everybody else gets a smaller share. _____________________

Wow that's really lowlife to do something like that.
I help run a store in SL and every time I TP there, one of the first things I do is check the About Land > Objects tab to insure some jerk hasn't littered on the land. I dunno if you have access to that information where your establishment is, but I'd suggest that to you as well. Then just return their crap _____________________

If it has been said once, its been said a million times. If you allow residents to rez items on your land, set autoreturn on to a reasonable time (say 5 minutes), or else you are practically asking for scams like this to happen.

Try CTRL+F5 and force a reload |

My ISP bans sites regularly and has appalling connection issues. (Well, I say "my ISP" but I'm really just relying on the net connection in this house, if it was up to me I'd pick someone much better.) |

I was at a club and the sploder made me pay or it would unsit and orbit me. After 6 hours I realized I actually was losing money to sit on that stupid bondage camp chair.
The guy that owns the chair said he would wipe the debt if I become his sex slave. I did but he never paid me back my L$175. I feel really violated. I have to go now, he's IM'ing me  |
