From: Scarlet Hartmann I've gotten a snapshot of this but not sure if its ok to post. Last night while getting an AO at Reverie someone attacked the sim with a poster of Bill Cosby eating a pudding pop with jell-owned on it or something. When looking at Cosby's hand you can see he is holding the pop with his middle finger stickin out. Course, it wasnt just one Cosby, it was hundreds, bouncing all over the place. I let the Lindens know and then when they got there left, but I should have known it was just a teaser of what would happen today. *rolls eyes* Well a few days ago I was exploring some Linden owned land and there was a huge building covered with giant red swastikas that made an awful noise, reminiscent of the 'Ulealualea Stress Cube'....still there two days later

From: cinda Hoodoo i been here 2 years, and i dont ever remember in my early days a grid attack... Ditto.. two years and ever since allowing unverifieds, it's been EXPONENTIALLY worse!!! I'm no rocket scientist, but come on.. it doesn't take a genius to see the increase in grid attacks since allowing unverifieds on the grid. Seriously, this is retarded. |

I was pleasantly surprised at how fast the Lindens responded to the live help notice I did about it too. They responded and 2 showed up to take care of it within 5 minutes. Thank goodness, no one needs this many pudding pops in their face.

From: Charlie Milkic Isn't it now possible for those people in SL who rely on it as a source of income (and there are several) to take either Linden Labs or the griefers to court for loss of earnings?
Nope, cause when you signed up you agreed that Linden Dollars weren't worth anything. From: Teddy Wishbringer Ditto.. two years and ever since allowing unverifieds, it's been EXPONENTIALLY worse!!!

Seriously, this is retarded. nah it was this bad last autumn...and early this spring. |

From: cinda Hoodoo that the grid is being attacked by a multi griefer army today, several must be involved, OR...one person got him/or her several unvarified alts, and was coming in using different attacks, i got the horrid pic from (un named) group thats spammed me umpteen times, god i wish they had been invisable, i think my retna's may have been burned out from what i saw...gawd that went way beyond unnice I forgot to mention that the invisble ones made that annoying "party hat" sound...each and one of them  That's how they got my attention after being alone in a quiet sim for 20 minutes...Very sad. |

Seriously, this is retarded. Just some food for thought Yes there have been more attacks since unverifieds BUT there are exponentially more people. I wonder if the percentage of attacks to population has changed at all. I am not convinced that doing away with unverifieds will solve a darn thing. |

From: Foolish Frost <sigh> Really? 'Cause I sure as heck don't rememeber the pre-open-registration days as being that script-kiddie free... In fact, it was worse on average.  Oh really? I can't ever *ever* remember attacks that took down the grid 5 times in one week before LL turned SL into one big script kiddie honeypot.. oops, I mean instituted unverified logins

From: Jakkal Dingo Yeah, that's what I'm getting. If anyone is in-world, just set yourself to Busy mode and you won't see it try to give you anything.
Well.. except for decline spam in your history window. Doh! Why didn't I think of that?! |

No CC on File
10-08-2006 15:11
Could this possinly be a person with no payment info on file thats causing all these problems. I bet you When will LL discontinue the free accounts and make our Second lives a little more enjoyable. Have a little Less Griefers and more verification People are over 18 Yo. Pl ease LL listen to your residents and get rid of the free accounts.

From: Foolish Frost I dumped this on the newspage for SLDrama for when the forums here decide to grind to a halt. Considering they are tied direct to the same databases, they tend to when offered the chance.
Have to admit, this IS getting old. Can't they at least have some IMAGINATION when they are going to crash the grid? Where are the Tribbles(tm)? Where are the Borg Cubes(tm)? Where are the Gremlins(tm)?
Can't they do anything NEW?
Pathetic. [snark] Yeah this one was gross. At least the End of Days attack had a Wagnerian apocalyptic majesty to it. [/snark] Still, I did get a reply from Live Help they were on it, and then the message from Stephen Linden, and yes that does help to know they're on it. I do like the idea of making unverified accounts go through a hoop of some sort. Possibly a new and improved, and very fun, user training area for two days would make them feel welcome but also stop the insta alts. |

Well I'm sure LL will have a copy of their IP on file...that leaves definable paper trail, even if they DID use a proxy...then it's just a matter of time. I mean LL has had a major loss of earnings today so they can get their lawayers onto it and lynch the griefers.

Pl ease LL listen to your residents and get rid of the free accounts. It's not going to happen, if only because of the large number of non-euro, non-american signups the change brought. And not all residents want them to go back. I don't. |

Getting rid of free accounts stops nothing. There are many ways to get verified accounts with totally fallacious info. I couldn't do it I don't have access to the methods but RL I know people who could if they wanted to.
Fixing SL so these attacks are not successful is really the best solution. If the attacks fail often enough the attacks will slow down and possibly stop.

ALOT of people cannot for whatever reason get a CC, who are we to judge,SL should be a free game for all, if they choose to go premium then use CC other than that,leave them alone... To quote a post from Darkness Anubis,let see some numbers on griefer compare to actual free regestered people who are peaceful.. |
