Feliks Blackwood Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I didn't think it was possible for a group to not have an owner- even if that owner was MIA- they were still the owner. However, I am now seeing groups with OWNER: 0 How is this possible and is there a way to get an owner assigned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCanessa Oh Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 A group always has a creator but there's nothing to stop an owner simply leaving a group. Since only an owner can make anyone else an owner that does mean a group without one is a bit stuck. File a support ticket with LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
161488303349 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 sometimes people will do this to make their affairs/business more private create a temp account create a group with that account create officer role with all powers possible officer can create roles, add other accounts, buy sell land for group etc invite main account to group and assign officer role delete temp account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothGirl Demonia Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 3.2 You agree to use an Account Name in Second Life that is not misleading, offensive or infringing. You are responsible for activities related to your Account Name, and for keeping your password for this Account secure. 1. Linden Lab signup's for accounts do not require you to use Real Life information at all in fact I can create a new account right now from any computer any IP address simply by giving an Email Address, Birthdate, and Avatar Name, and as long as the name is not offensive, and doesn't break the TOS, or other rules it is legit. 2. From there I can start a group for 100 L$, invite my Main Account to the group, a couple of alts assign them officer rights, and then Cancel my Temporary account leaving the group with therefore no owner. 3. Another possible situation is the Owner, or Group Founder got banned, suspended, or Owed money to LL and their account is in other words banned from Second Life, but the group will remain. I am in a couple of groups right now with no owners just a bunch of officers. The real problem however is when a group is left open enrollment where anyone can join the group, and then that group becomes a griefer group and there is no longer an owner there or even an officer to eject/kick members, change permissions and so the group becomes known as a griefer group and it starts being used as a Griefer Tag for griefing residents.

Feliks Blackwood Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 @GothGirl - That is the case in this group- there is no owner or officers. I guess I'll just consider it dead and not worry about it. Surprises me that LL has no plan to handle these kinds of things. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
