I am really pleased for you, Rebel and Susan. So glad they have taken it seriously. You say boxes from yesterday and today, did more turn up?

Oh my, so it was the tip of the iceburg. Well I am glad action has been taken quickly, but what does blacklisted mean in LL's case? The items have been removed from the database? I do hope so.

Must also thank you and Rebel for putting the items out and inviting creators to come and check for their items and recognise others.

Blacklisted means basically the items that were made by the copier, can not be rezzed.

Anyone that has purchased items from the Woodshed that are made by me or Rebel, will have no problems.

I posted something to that effect in the orginal thread. Dunno if it will be diluted now that there are two threads.

I posted a response in the original thread but I do have a question. What happens to objects that are already rezzed when the blacklisting occurs?

Another little question, RH - I just tried to go to your place to look at the furniture that everyone praises, but apparently I'm not allowed in that destination so I couldn't TP there. Any idea why?

Sorry Phil........I was playing with the "No payment on file" access........

But I have decided to live it for now, that all can access the land.......

But I will be thinking on that option very hard.

I have just tried to tp over, all four sims, based on Phil's post, I can't tp to any of them either and do have payment info on file.

Edit: finally managed via Monarch Bay and fly across the sim border.

Super good news!! Congrats, your original thread made me sad.

Would be surprising if Phil has no POIF by the way... he owns lots of land

Banning NPIOF isn't all that useful... when someone rips content it's the uploading avatar that would be the NPIOF alt, the downloading avatar could be anyone.

I agree, and I also hate penalizing NPOF, just because it's "usually" that type of alt that is doing the stealing.

Rebel slapped my hands, I'm not allowed to play with the Estate Tools on any of the sim anymore.

It's all fixed.

After our chat yesterday and tracking down the owner of the dragons copybotted ... I quickly set both my sims to no scripts before I went to bed .... to wake this morning to realise I had stopped all my scripted items working!

And you didn't do anything to keep from getting ripped off!

Sorry about that, but it's true.

Bots aren't scripted objects, they just look like regular avatars to the sim.

The only way people can use scripts to rip anything is to buy something, take it home, rez it, and put the script in that object. And they mostly don't bother, since bots are easier and more reliable.

Yes I realise nothing will stop everything. It was just tired and it was a horrible day yesterday to see the extent of copybotting that turned up. I never saw the content of the boxes that appeared this morning, it was bad enough seeing what was found last night.
