"M.E. Verhagen" <[email protected]> "You banned a bot avatar wich apparently is doing nothing ?"
I had no idea it WAS a bot till yesterday, and even then I only suspected it was a bot due to it's landing on my region not 3 hours after turning HG back on from being disabled more than 3 weeks, and then TP'ing out as soon as I moved. "Yeah imagine that the bot has strange intensions. Could but true." Like I said, I assumed since last May that this was a PERSON and their actions were very odd. It has a profile on OSgrid as "Sweet JaneX" and the profile is mostly empty except for this: "free land for real builders." So again, it appeared to be a registered user on OSgrid, yet it originated from a HG origin as "[email protected]" and then the domain name changed to an ip address recently, which in my mind suggests someone trying to avoid a ban on the domain name by changing to a different host using a different IP. "In fact a hypergrid enabled grid has an open door, that means they can hypergrid to your grid withouth having an account on your grid." I don't care if someone has an account on the grid or not, my regions are public access, the only thing that concerned me about THIS user was the very strange behaviour since May on my regions and specifically going out of it's way to avoid any and all contact with me. A normal user would land near you on your region, certainly notice you are standing there, and when you say "hello, welcome" you'd expect they would say something like "hi, thank you," or something. "But no one i forcing you to enabling the hg. You could disable it so that no bad bots can enter your grid withouth having an account on your sim." I think you meant "grid", my sims dont issue accounts, the grid does. HG increases traffic, usually in a good way, but having ->four<- gates with no description of any kind of them, on a foreign grid's landing sim all sending random traffic- (a number wearing scripted genitals and sex huds) to a PG rated EDU region looking for clothing and adult things, is a total waste. This was the only bot I've seen, and it turned out to not be an avatar with bad or suspect intentions, or a bad bot either. _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
