[Opensim-users] Annoying Spammer on Openvue Grid - But why don't the objects show in abot land?

[Ashton Nobilis]

This user creates a number of accounts on grids, often with "Mario"
somewhere in the name.  With so many smaller grids springing up as a result
of OpenSimulator's maturity as a platform, I expect that the griefing issue
may increase due to grid operators being unaware of this situation.  He can
be stopped by using a combination of the methods I mentioned earlier
coupled with diligence from grid administrators.

Ai, I'm not a developer, but might be able to shed some light on your
comments:

1 - It's not uncommon for physical objects to "hang" outside the region's
boundaries.  In fact, it wasn't very long ago that was a way to reliably
crash a region.  This behavior also exists/existed in SL, although it seems
less of a factor there these days.  It is, however, a trivial matter to
place objects whose geometric center is outside of the 256x256 area of a
region in OpenSim.

2 - Yes, you have an emitter somewhere.  Deleting all objects with his UUID
as creator should not be an issue.

3 - Did you delete the items, or return them?

Both you guys shouldn't worry.  A visit from this guy simply means you've
hit the big time!  XD
