Random SPAM Objects 'b.places HUD 1.3' into inventory

****** ***** has offered you 'b.places HUD 1.3' in Second Life. Log in
to accept or decline the offer. Now I don`t know about you But i getting alittle upset having alts continue to send these pieces of crap to me. Ok they make what 10l per sending sender right? LLABS needs to stop these spam device that people are randomly picking out of the search and getting 10l a piece think about it if they send out 100(s) or 1000(s) of these things they make alot. Please LLABS Get Rid Of This Object Once And For All!

Some of us may not be aware of this object and what you are talking about. Please explain. ?? Actually I may have recieved one of these objects and not known what it was???

I, frankly, would reject anything that comes from someone you do not know. There is such a thing as a b-places HUD, but it is usually available from kiosks at places participating in their listing.

Given that anyone can name a malicious object anything they like, reject the offer. But do pick up the official HUD from a b-places kiosk at any of the sims participating.

Something I was given last night! I'd wondered what it was. I looked in inventory where it accepted to and to my surprise I already have two copies of HUD 1.2!
It's all too easy to accept these when you enter an area that automatically offers you a notecard

This given object is a hud that locates locations around second life. Its vendor says take this hub pass it around and each . with a given e-mail as
http://www.bluepillgroup.comperson[/url] you give it too you well receive 10l

I wish they stop spamming people with the crap.

I'm with Arch on this one......utterly confused.
This is an object someone gives you and they get paid to give it to you?
From Isablan's post it sounds like it started as a legitimate object?

I never accept anything from anyone I don't know btw because I like to keep my cupboards uncluttered

Hope someone can clarify though.

Well thats if we want it right? spamming objects is now allowed ( TOS ) Hence MAYBE its a helpful objects to those that make money. But to toi tthe receiver its just junk. Each time this HUD is passed from one person to another the sender get 10l. regaurdless if they want it or not.

Erm.........
I wasn't suggesting it was a legitimate or useful object, I said it seemed it STARTED OUT as a legitimate object. I'm now guessing something has been renamed to what the original useful object was named?
I've never heard of something being passed around and people getting paid for passing it around. I also figure you have to accept inventory offers, even notecards, so if you decline do they still get paid? And if you decline, it doesn't end up in your inventory does it? Is the object itself otherwise malicious? It sounds mostly annoying.

/me is still confused.

I believe it goes into your trash, hence still adding to your inventory

i just looooove emptying bins


actually i empty my trash more often than I change hairstyles ...... now that's saying something

shakeshead........

all i said was its just spam period! i did not ask for this junk nor would i use it.

.. and nor would I. My inventory will be a tiny bit lighter later today and thankyou for revealing what this object is!

Only way I can see this being implemented is that when you wear the HUD it takes a note of you as the owner. If you then pass the HUD onto someone else and they then wear it, it will see you were the previous owner and trigger a payment for you, then update the owner to this new person.

It's an affiliation scheme being abused as all affiliation schemes are abused. But even worse than an affiliation scheme, it's a PYRAMID affiliation scheme whereby everyone spammed becomes an affiliate as well.

So if you decline the object I fully expect that the person sending it will get no money, as there's no way for it to know that it was accepted otherwise.

Thanks Haravikk. That was kinda what I figured. Much less confused now

Why is it so hard for people read a f***ing FAQ?

Interesting first post btw

Sorry but people randomly sending objects to unknown people is spam the sendie. I did not ask nor wanted this piece of ........ How hard is it for you to understand that people/alts are only using this to make money and are just abusing this object. These people sending to people that are unknowing to the sender, breaks TOS rules about spamming.

BTW i had no intenstion to wear this hud.......................But i seen vendors offering this object and its notecards. Hence i have no Idea nor do I care about the terms and conditions BECAUSE I DID NOT USER IT. Because it was random spam junk sent but non payment online alts.

Agreed........scary infact.

For the record here. Nobody like getting spammed with random objects that are not wanted or requisted.
