Maybe like beacons or something. I'd prefer it as an object type .. CHAT_LISTENING
It would be a counter measure to deal with privacy and remote monitoring issues.

Problem with this is, you are going to generate a lot of 'false positives', there are a lot of innocent objects which listen on channel-0.

True, but it'd be nice to be able to do a 'bug sweep'.

Definitely a good idea.

Have you considered just how many objects there are that listen on channel 0? My avatar, for example, has three different attachments that all do so. Most of the vehicles I've created do, as do the firebirds I've got flying around Seacliff.

Attachments that listen on channel zero are EVIL and most of the time, unnecessary. Put them on an alternate channel already!
Here are the advantages: (1) No channel spam that other people REALLY don't want to see or care about. (2) Private / silent operation (3) The code is only invoked when it needs to be, not every time you (or possibly EVERYONE) types something into the open chat channel. DON'T BE LAZY!  -Flip _____________________

DON'T BE LAZY! -Flip My stuff listens on channel 0 because... * I'm lazy. * Most users will be confused by adding a "/1" (or whatever channel) before the command. (Wouldn't it be nice if "/" defaulted to channel 1?) * It takes longer to type a slash, a number, then a command, than it does to just type a command. I know it's wrong, but I favour usability over practicality _____________________

The code in my attachments listens on channel 0 because: 1) I wrote it back before we could speak on other channels or 2) It's not my code, it's transplanted code from Linden attachments, and I can't re-write it. _____________________

My code usually listens on channel 1 for commands.
Of course, my code is so bloody efficient, I could run it on 0 and it wouldn't matter. It's called "if statements". _____________________
