Unless it's a function in Firestorm I can disable, then it really needs to be added. There have been times, I have closed out those chats 4 -5 times and I really don't want to have to leave the groups. As they are places I really like. But I just wish LL or the firestorm team would put in a function, if it already hasn't been added. That once you close the group chat, even if a new person types something, it won't pop back up. There is a Firestorm setting that lets you specify how long after you close group chat that it is basically disabled for, so it won't reopen again for at least that long. I don't remember where it is set -- maybe search for Group or Chat and see what you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in stores, where its _really_ hard to even reach that 5% level. It makes the discount levels superficial and pointless. If shop owners don't really want to give a discount, they just shouldn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like some RL fast-food places, one that I hate, but was dragged to that starts with an M have these "breakfast" burritos and their counter-top signage says "Only $0.99 each. Or buy two and save, only $1.98!" - the sad fact is people fall for that all the time. Not to mention it's about $0.15 worth of food, based on the portion sizes. 12 hours ago, LittleMe Jewell said: Stuff like this - found on a product vendor today. In fairness, though: Could it be that the vendor is pulling permissions data from the box contents? In that case, it could be the scripts inside the item forcing the no-mod information on the vendor. But your point is definitely relative. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What counts to the buyer are the permissions on whatever she is paying for. If no-mod scripts make the product no-mod, it's false advertising to say that it's Copy/Mod. My guess is that it's at least clumsy proofreading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in the heck, will I ever spend that much in just one store? I know of one place, that expects you to spend 10k, to even get a 5% discount. I rarely spend 10k in one store as it is. Maybe a 1k here and there, but I will never drop 10k all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it's at least clumsy proofreading. I agree. It becomes false advertising on a technicality. Which is why I never buy from in-world vendors unless IO can demo first. Also why I prefer to shop Market Place; the creator has the opportunity to use a lot of description space (where they can specific the true permissions of each component of the item. And if they do not use that description space to be properly descriptive, I then imagine they are just as lazy with the creation of said item.

AyelaNewLife Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 So this one is less of a peeve and more of a "differing preferences can cause friction (but my preference is of course the best)": If I say "I'm headed to bed", or "real life calls", or any other variation of "I need to log off" - stop talking at me. I'm doing you the courtesy of giving you prior notice that I will be logging off in the next couple of minutes. Finish your thought, quickly mention anything else you wanted to say, then let me go. Don't keep on yapping indefinitely... I've started leaving mid-sentence with the people that refuse to take the hint. And that applies to you too - if you say goodnight/I need to leave, I'm mentally closing off our conversation then waiting for you to leave. So don't still be here talking at me 20 minutes later, because I'll have stopped actively trying to have a conversation with you. Just leave. On the other hand, unless there's some minor emergency or other situation which means you genuinely need to leave this second... at least give me a chance to say "goodnight!" before logging off? Common courtesy and all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL This particular item doesn't have any scripts in it -- no texture change or animations in it. And the same store has vendors with scripted items - beds, etc... - that do have scripts and the picture permissions and vendor permissions match, all showing Mod allow. While the majority of the items in the store are modifiable, there were a couple of items that were designated as No Mod (via both the picture and vendor), so I didn't want to chance it. I sent a message to the creator and hopefully he'll respond. It was a plausible thought, although I'm not sure I've ever seen a vendor that does that - and not the case this time.

BelindaN Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 So here's a story. Months ago I used to visit a wilderness sim. Often there was a guy just hanging around. We exchanged chat, and all was good. Then one day the conversation got much deeper, and adult..... He was pushing for an exclusive relationship, and when I refused, he flipped, and got really nasty. His parting shot was that he would report me to LL for breaching terms and conditions. He freaked me out and I was so upset that I had to consult my Great Aunt Rhonda. 😊 who put my mind at rest. I've never seen him since that encounter. Yesterday, I was at Muddy's. A guy with the same name, but with one 'x' instead of two, hit me up. "Shields Up". After a short conversation, in which he told me his RL situation and asked me if I was married with kids, I knew it was the same guy. I just tpd away. Does he really think I don't remember? What's wrong with these people? For the avoidance of doubt, yes I'm married in RL with a daughter. 😛 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Now they give a warning "If we drop, it's Comcrap!" Before we moved a few years ago our old ISP would have more crash and burns then at a NASCAR race!
