Take control of your Second Life space with the only chat logger built for ironclad TOS compliance, privacy, and transparency.
Why Area Monitor?
Truly Legal: Area Monitor only logs chat if users give clear, positive consent—no exceptions, no loopholes.
Protect Your Reputation: Illegal loggers can get you suspended or banned. Area Monitor keeps you safe and proves you play by the rules.
Build Visitor Trust: Guests always see exactly how their chat is handled, and only those who agree are ever logged.
Professionalism Matters: Show your commitment to privacy, trust, and fair practice. No secrets, no drama.
TOS Compliance – Legal by Design
Area Monitor was made specifically to comply with Linden Lab’s Terms of Service:
“Consent is required from all participants whose communications you intend to record or monitor.”
The system always presents a clear consent dialog. If a visitor clicks “Yes,” logging starts—otherwise, nothing is ever recorded. Owners cannot override or fake consent. Ignoring the dialog or leaving the area means absolutely no logging.
Why Log Chat?
Capture Genuine Feedback: In shops, galleries, and rentals, visitors’ comments and questions are never lost—even if you’re offline.
Never Miss a Lead: Follow up on missed sales or inquiries after you’ve logged off.
See What Works: Review chat logs to identify hot topics, popular items, or event highlights.
Community Engagement: For clubs and groups, recap past events, plan future ones, and review member suggestions—all by explicit consent.
Accountability: Logs help clarify disputes, confirm agreements, and ensure staff or resident transparency.
Leave-On and Forget: The Power of Email Mode
Area Monitor is designed for owners who don’t want to babysit their logs. Switch to Email Mode and your chat logs are automatically, securely sent to your chosen email addresses. Even if you’re never online, you’ll always have a full record—ready to search, review, or use for customer follow-up. Set it up, leave it running, and forget about it with total peace of mind.
How It Works (Owner & Visitor Experience)
For Owners:
- Rez Area Monitor somewhere visible in your space or simply wear it as an attachment.
- Select your mode (“In-World” for private in-world chat logs or “Email” for automatic delivery).
- Consent management and playback are just a menu click away.
For Visitors:
- Enter the area (or approach the owner), and you’ll see a consent dialog.
- Opt in to allow your chat to be logged—or opt out with a single click.
- You can change your choice anytime by clicking the device again.
- All data handling info and the owner’s name are provided for total transparency.
Will Anyone Consent to Logging?
Absolutely. When people know why chat is logged (to improve service, resolve issues, or strengthen community) and see it’s handled ethically and openly, many are happy to participate. Owners who communicate honestly and keep the logger visible build more trust and get better feedback than you’d expect.
Best Practice:
Rez Area Monitor in a spot where users can see and touch it, and let them know the benefits with additional signage. Transparency turns compliance into a community asset.
Under the Hood – Engineered for Reliability
Area Monitor isn’t just legally safe—it’s one of the most advanced chat loggers ever built for Second Life:
Massive Memory Bank: Custom “memorybank” script lets you capture thousands of lines of chat—far more than typical loggers—without missing a word.
Efficient Script Design: Smart event handling means no lag and fast performance, even in busy areas or clubs.
True Consent Intelligence: The script tracks every visitor’s consent individually, and can’t be tricked by chat extenders, spoofers, or owner overrides.
Fail-Safe Operation: Crashes, resets, or memory caps? All settings are saved and restored automatically. Logs are never lost and consent status is never forgotten.
Versatile Placement: Rez it anywhere, or wear it as an attachment for on-the-go moderation—Area Monitor adapts to your needs.
All this power is packed into a lightweight, easy-to-use device that runs quietly in the background, letting you focus on your Second Life experience—not on admin headaches.
- Second Life TOS-compliant: logging is impossible without consent.
- Works rezzed or worn—perfect for shops, events, clubs, rentals, and mobile moder
- Unspoofable: Only logs real avatar chat, never bots or gadgets.
- Owner menu: Activate/deactivate, see consent list, reset logs, switch modes.
Customer chat
I will be using this in my store... it helps me to understand if my customers are having problems that I can help them with and what products they like the most.
Great!!
Wow this is great.
I did notice that I had to whitelist the email as my outlook put it into spam but after that it was great. I was surprised just how long the chat lists are but I like being able to leave it on and forget about it.
