Hallo,

Ik zoek werknemers die zorgen dat er mensen in mijn shop komen. Dus spammen van Groups, uitnodigen van vrienden en roepen in andere locaties. Ik wil wel zeker weten dat je de mensen hebt geroepen.

hello, i seek personel that bring ppl to my store, so spamming of groups, inviting friends and shout in other locations. i need to be sure u really called those ppl

so here we have it, from a small job listing website for direct group spammers and paying for it

lets see who`s behind the spam:
Werkgever(employer): follow link
Eigenaar (owner): follow link

so if u ever get a spam for that place, u now know atleast who to thank for it!

can't you be ejected from the game for spamming like this?

i hope the owners of those job descriptions get AR'd and run off to have to start anew.

Unfortunately, the first person likely to face any discipline from LL is the OP for naming names in these forums.

I AR stupid group invites like this all the time.

I can assure you that LL looks into those ARs.

How can I be sure?

Because one person I ARed sent me an IM cursing me up and down because he got a 3-day ban from it. And yes, he knew it was me because my response to the group invites are always "Abuse Reported for Spam: Unsolicited/unwated group invites. Have a nice Second Life."

Of course, I may not have been the only one ARing him either *grins*

Dude, you are a true and good friend, and I love you like the brother that my mom claims she never had, but you are in fact acting like a flaming douche on white toast with a side order of dickknob salsa..maybe you should reconsider this course of action and we go find something else to do.
