You might send the email with full headers to the Lindens, but that I guess wouldn't fit inside the regular AR form so you'd have to use email to get it to them. They must have a way to cross-reference that hashed mess to the UUID.

I sent Lindens a cross sample the day it happened and talked to one on live chat, submitted an AR too, but haven't heard any response of course.

Who is this guy then? They don't show up in search anymore.
I don't know who it is, I just meant that 'Caulk Schiner' was a typically juvenile name for a typically juvenile kind of griefing.

They probably don't show up in search because you are not the only person being targeted, and the pile-up of abuse reports got them banned. At least that is my guess.

Well make up your mind are you saying a bot can't do this or can do this?
Someone who has made bots has said they can.

i'm not saying anything. i'm asking and posing possibilities. if someone says their bot can do this, then i suppose it can be done. so if it can be done, then there must be a way to block it.

if a griefer set up the rezzed items so that each object being projected would send an IM, you can imagine how quickly your IM;s would be capped and your email would fill up.

i doubt an entity was travelling between sims, but perhaps instead set up griefing items that went off spontaneously.

Possibly, it's just the zigzag pattern from the sims I mapped out seems to indicate the pattern of a moving object, though maybe that just the order the LL "activate" signals respond in too?

i actually have no idea how any of it's possible. but something happened. it'd be nice to know what, so we can block it, or use it for good and not evil.
