When text from locat chat is copied to a notecard or to an abuse report the colour coding designed to distinguish between an avatar and an object talking is lost.

This has lead to the wrong people being punished when this information is pasted into an abuse report.

A suggested fix is to add a text indication of the origen to the clipbord as the text is copied.
ie.
"[time] MyPrim : This is what my prim says"
when copied the text placed onto the clipboard is :-
"[time][object] MyPrim : This is what my prim says"

The new field indicating an object/avatar will only be seen when copied and pasted so it will not effect any in-world communications being handled by scripts.

This is a new feature for the viewer and should be simple to apply as the colour coded information is saved based on the origen of that chat already.

( OLD TITLE : G-Team Does Not Investigate Abuse Reports )

The Governance team has not been properly investigating abuse reports. Instances where the incorrect user was banned are common and are indicative of a "ban first, ask questions later" policy that must be corrected.

Take, for instance, an object that spoofs the name of random users in a sim and shouts obscenities on their behalf. It takes only a glance at the green text to realize that the targetted users are not actually shouting, and it takes a mere Rightclick > Inspect to find out who the abuser is. However, it seems that the G-Team relies solely on abuse reports to issue bans, banning the users who were targetted instead of the source of the problem.

I realize the G-Team is overloaded, but their work should still be accurate and thorough instead of full of cut corners. This is akin to a police officer pulling up to a house where a burglar was reported, killing the nearest person wearing a hooded sweatshirt (even if it was the homeowner), and driving off.

Appologies for the contents of the quoted text, however this is REAL text from a REAL object that resulted in a REAL ban of an innocent person, whos name was spoofed.

I have posted this jira on behalf of "Fred Rookstown" who was probably targeted because he has been involved in anti-griefer activities, including the prevention of content theft.
