I don't know that I really have any pet peeves. I generally think LL is doing a good job, and that people are too critical, but if that's what they enjoy, c'est la vie. Second Life is a place where if you give away free rainbows and unicorns, someone will complain they got cheated because their free unicorn only has one horn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZennyRose Balhaus Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Late to the party with this one, but here are my pet peeves SL wise: People in relationships who say they are 'Taken' where are you being taken exactly? to the shops, the pub, for a fun day out? Flat shoes for tip toe feet, in real life we don't prance about on our tippy toes when wearing trainers or other flat shoes, its not that hard to switch your feet from high to flat with the huds with mesh bodies Face lights, there is no need to prance about looking like the Blackpool illuminations (I am forever derendering them) Random Friend requests, Hello I want money IM's and the old favourite How old are you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiramanell Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 1) Inability to move coalesced objects numerically; aka, you can only move them by hand (dragging with your mouse); 2) TP disconnects; 3) And related to Nr. 2, the fact that Firestorm won't let you quit your viewer, when TP is obviously failing, but lets you wait for an entire minute ir so.

Like I can say 'Working on my houseboat has become my pet project, of late.' 'Pet' is just used adjectively there, to denote something small(/minor) you cherish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skell Dagger Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I have another minor peeve: people who come to you for help and then do anything but what you tell them to. Double points if they do the exact opposite of what you tell them to, or they don't listen to you at all and carry on just doing random things that make the situation worse. An SL-related example is (because it's rather long) behind the spoiler tag: Customer: I can't clear this 'demo' text off my mesh head. Can you help me? Me: Sure. Add the HUD for your head onto your screen, and click the tab that says 'blush' Customer: OK, one sec. [five minutes later] Me: Do you have the HUD on yet? Customer: No. Was I supposed to? Me: Yes, please add the HUD. Customer. OK, I've added it. Me: Now click the tab that says blu-- Customer: OMG MY WHOLE HEAD IS BLUE NOW! Me: Right. Well, before we get rid of the demo text we now have to untint your head. Please don't touch ANYTHING unless I tell you to, okay? Customer: OK Me: Please click the tab that says 'tint' Customer: Where? Me: On the HUD for your head. Customer: Oh, I took it off. One sec... [ten minutes later] Me: I'm going to assume that you've now added the HUD, so please click the tab that says 'tint' [an hour passes] Customer: I don't see any tabs on the HUD Me: Which HUD do you have on? Customer: It has lots of faces on it. Me: That's the animation HUD. Please remove that HUD and put on the main HUD for your head. Customer: OK, one sec... Customer: WTF? MY HEAD CAME OFF! me: [under breath] It's going to be a long night... 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And double the points when they come up with things not related to your issue at all. 😊 Yes, I've seen that happen, too. In fact, in our group we even have a copy/paste to put into chat when too many people jump in - especially if they jump in with incorrect, misleading, or irrelevant 'help'. It's not uncommon to have someone go silent after they've asked a question in chat. It usually denotes that a random group member has gone into their IM and decided to help them there. It's also not uncommon for the person being helped to come back to us shortly after that for assistance in fixing whatever the random group member messed up! While it's common in our group for everyone to help everyone else if they can, we always recommend to look for the bold text that denotes a moderator, as those tend to be the official CSRs as well.
