In US I thought there were laws about spam.
I understand LLabs being overworked but if they are ignoring this they may be just focused on too many things but also are ignoring the
law in the country their servers are in.
And it possibly could hurt their bottom line.
If they did something about it I am glad...sounds like they did though.
But my biggest concern is for those who may not be as computer savvy who are residents.
I know there was reminder in blog but not everyone sees it.
If anyone is reading this and gives out lot of notecards to new residents, etc
could you do be me big favor?
Could you include something on safety prevention warning new residents about spam?
I am not in place where I can do that myself.
I would suggest also something in jira about spam prevention and detection but
I got no clue how that would be worded or done.
I finally figured out how to do some basic things in jira but I am not sure how
this could be described or done in technical or in way it wouldn't be removed and
actually voted on.
Something really needs to be done about it before things get worse.
I have feeling we may be getting wave of more new people soon but I may be wrong.
Just no clue what going to happen when when we have 80k or more users online with few thousand spambots.

As the game grows larger so does the problems and issues. "IF" LLABS would put a little more effort into making these issues less noticable then then done their work. But If they are occuring shows they only deal with issues when they reach the peak point. Strange they lock accounts or worse yet delete account for alot less.

Is that because they are so overworked its hard to be fair all the time?
Or is it just human mistake to overlook certain things or see some things as bigger problems then other things?
Or is it because of something else?
I have always wonder about those things and why when repairing code in the game more things seem to break.
Second Life for me has been really being difficult with the login page today.
I wonder what makes this happen too.
Anyway I am bit annoyed not going to re-log today.
BTW The last guy who sent me spam his account seems to still exist.
