Stop Phishing Links being posted in Group Chat
Lately a lot of SL groups have been getting hit by spammers posting phishing links that look like real Marketplace stores. Here’s an example of the kind of thing going around: [12:16:37] Rẙaḽīể (ryalie): New store! Outfit + Shape, Everything is free, limited quantity https://marketplacsecondlife-style-body-mesh-catwa-185089.store It’s clearly meant to trick people, and residents are falling for it because it looks close-ish to a legit SL URL. People are losing their Lindens because their accounts become compromised, thinking they’re logging into a trusted site. The scammers then use those compromised accounts to spam other groups (sometimes even pay-to-join ones), which just keeps the cycle going and leads to more stolen Lindens and MORE hacked accounts. My suggestion is to remove clickable URLs in group chat and IMs unless they’re from trusted sites. Maybe have a whitelist for known, safe domains like: marketplace.secondlife.com secondlife.com community.secondlife.com flickr.com primfeed.com gyazo.com Or other KNOWN and trusted sites. Everything else could just show up as plain text or with a warning before opening. Other possible options could include: color-coding links (safe ones in green, unverified ones in grey or red), adding a short delay before opening non-trusted URLs (“This link will open in 5 seconds”), or even giving users a setting in Preferences to allow clickable links from trusted domains only. This would stop a lot of the spam and protect people from phishing. It would also cut down the workload for in-world group moderators (who constantly have to boot spammers) and reduce support tickets from compromised accounts; meaning less work for your support team, cost savings for you, and a safer experience for everyone. Thank you!

Feature Request: Automatic Group Switch Based on Land Parcel
Summary: A viewer-side function that automatically switches the active group to match the group assigned to the parcel the avatar is currently on — especially when attempting to rez an object or run a script. Detailed Description: When a user attempts to rez an object or use a script that requires land group permissions, the viewer should automatically switch the user's active group to the group assigned to the parcel (if the user is a member of that group). This would streamline the workflow for creators, shop owners, and land managers who regularly work across multiple group-owned parcels. Suggested Behavior: • When the avatar enters a parcel or attempts to rez an object or run a script: ◦ The viewer checks if the active group matches the parcel's group. ◦ If not, and if the user is a member of the required group, the viewer automatically switches to that group. ◦ Alternatively, a prompt could ask the user if they want to switch to the correct group before proceeding. Benefits: • Reduces failed object rezzing due to incorrect active group. • Enhances user experience, especially for those managing multiple parcels. • Prevents errors and confusion for less experienced users. • Streamlines content creation and land interaction workflows. Optional settings: • Ability to enable or disable the feature in the viewer preferences. • Option for a confirmation prompt before switching groups. • Whitelist or blacklist for specific groups or parcels.
