FloraZelma Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hello,Is camping completely banned in Sl? I'm asking this because recently a person has been reviving camping on a very large scale on his SIMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCade Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 This is a good read on the matter: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Land-and-Sea-General/Further-Clarification-on-Bots-and-Camping/ba-p/643765 And no, camping is not banned, gaming traffic is. If the parcel the activity occurs on has show place in search enabled in their about land, than that is a violation. However, if the land is not set to show up in search, I honestly can't see how they're trying to game traffic if they do not even show up in search, so it wouldn't be a violation. Someone correct me on this if I overlooked something crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 There was a time when anything that artificially increased traffic was banned but since traffic hasn't been influential in search for several years, who cares anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anyone uses inworld search anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aethelwine Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 how do you search for places and people without using inworld search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Romano Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 You can ask people, you can randomly fly around, look in people's profiles, find places listed on web sites. Go and hunt around on the zindra continent for popular adult locations on mainland Just some examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're totally wrong about that if i am looking for a new mens clothing store, you can bet i will not be using inworld search. too many keyword gamers.

Phil Deakins Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 What you do is irrelevant. You said, "Not that anyone uses inworld search any more". You are totally wrong about that, and I can prove it. When i want to find something, I always use the inworld search, and I never use any other search. That's complete proof that what you said is wrong. And I've no doubt that there are masses of other people who also use the inworld search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Mokusei Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Another in-world search user here, too. Luckily Drake's re-imagined the question:- Drake1 Nightfire wrote: Aethelwine wrote: how do you search for places and people without using inworld search?

Automagically and with zen like powers also known as "I didn't already know about it, so LLs is broken for not personally driving up to my block and telling me because I refuse to use a search bar that I thought was broken in 2009 and NOTHING HAS EVER CHANGED IN SL SINCE 2009 so its still up and done broke." Or you just type what you're looking for in the search bar and go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Drake meant to say is that traffic scores aren't as important to many people as those who try to game them believe. Personally I use in-world search to find a SPECIFIC thing that I know at least part of the name of, (including people and places), and occasionally a very specific category that would have few entries - say, "World War I uniforms." I would never search for vague terms like "Dance Club" or "Women's Clothing" because it's too easy to game your listing order by measures that have nothing to do with the quality of service, especially back when traffic was the big factor - it would be the same as calling Acme Plumbers in real life because they were the first ones listed in the phone book.

Phil Deakins Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 To be fair, I think what Drake was actually trying to say is that nobody uses inworld search any more. Just like he said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake1 Nightfire Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Should i be looking for lingerie? It doesnt really matter what kind of item i am looking for, i search the MP and then see if they have an inworld store. I have found inworld search to be heavily gamed and useless. Sorry for my opinion. I didnt realize we all had to follow Phil like sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Nobody cares how you do your searching. And nobody said that people should search the way I do, or the way anyone else does. You made a statement that was absolutely wrong, and it was proved to be absolutely wrong. I'm sorry that you feel the need to defend your statement. We all get things wrong sometimes, and it was your turn this time, that's all People do use the inworld search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps i should have been more specific by saying that, for anything to do with SL, I only ever use the inworld search, but that went without saying.
