Cinos Field Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Stores that add you to subscription lists for daring to visit. And then refusing to take you off it. Like, please. I can just mute you, and that behaviour guarantees beyond the shadow of a doubt that I will not only not buy anything, I will also tell every shopping friend I have to not enter your spam hazard of a sim. I'm disappointed that reporting that kind of stuff doesn't do anything, though. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGĀ I suffered one of those the other day.Ā TP'd to see a demo and landed on a prim at the fixed landing point.Ā Thankfully it did thank me in local for joining the subscribo so my first job was to find the unsubscribe.Ā I let that go and bought the item anyway.Ā Then on unpacking it at home it added me once again so I had to tp BACK to the store and unsubscribe myself.Ā In the end it didn't work with my landscaping so I binned it anyway but I won't be going back for anything else.Ā Ā 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disappointed that reporting that kind of stuff doesn't do anything, though. I had to deal with that with an event. So story time with Sammy again. So this was about 2 years ago, I went to check out this said event. Got what I wanted and got the heck out. A week later, I get this thing reminding me of said event in my local. So I was like okay, I never clicked anything to be put into the subscribomatic. So I go to the group, and ask them to take me off the list, that I never clicked anything to subscribe. About a month or so passes, and I get it again. So once more, I ask in the group. Again, no one says anything. Give it another month or two later, I get another thing. So I again ask, got told to go to an LM to unsubscribe. I'm thinking, at long last I can get the heck out of this thing. Come to find the LM takes me to someone's land, that had an orb and told me I had 30 seconds to leave the land. Go back home, and tell them. That they gave me the wrong LM. Then another month or so passes, and I get it again. And I went in group and asked. I got berated and belittled, and the owner messages me. I was ejected and banned from said group for harrassing. Now keep in mind, I only asked about it 3-4 times over 5 or 6 months. So to me that wasn't harassing. To make a long story short, I am never allowed in that group, but the owner finally took me out when she banned me from said group. I was nice and polite about it, and I even took some attacks here and there. But yeah, the grievance of being put in a subscription list, without your consent. It's a pain in the bum, and hard as heck to get yourself out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only a little kidding here. Like others have said, it can be a nightmare to be rid of these groups/subscriptions, so all's fair in love and war, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally post a tangential thought well into the conversation, once the thread is already unravelling a bit. I also don't plan on it being a derail (unless it is one of those endless bickering thread devolves and then I have been known to be amusingly creative (amusing at least to me)).Ā Heck, I know I peeved people off in this thread several weeks ago when it derailed (not by plan) into a chili thread.

Artair Glendullen Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I have a few SL pet peeves, but my pettiest is when folks show up on the first day or so of an event and their avatar's ridiculously complex.Ā I've derendered or set to show friends only so many times. I get wanting to try demos at the event itself, butĀ goddammit, wear something simpleĀ if you're not going to show up naked and alpha'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get this.Ā I almost never do events, but I've certainly experienced this kind of frustration on the occasions I have. Like you, I never try on demos on site: I always go home to do so. And yeah, getting back in can be a pain. I will, for a moment anyway, just be a bit of a devil's advocate here. One of the complaints I've heard about events in SL is that they really are no longer "events" at all, but rather just glorified pop-ups. I entirely get that the majority of people just want to shop, but there was something rather glorious about older style events that featured not just shopping, but also live music, dancing, exhibits, games, and so on. Going to these (for me, anyway) always had something of the excitement of going to a RL fair (in Toronto, we have the huge Canadian National Exhibition to mark the end of summer, although not, I'm guessing, this year). I like the variety, the constant assault upon the sensory organs of visual and auditory noise, the stickiness of cotton candy (metaphorically, in this case), and sheer sense of creative and frequently vulgar chaos. It's why the only event that you can be sure I will be going to will be SLB. And yes, I'll do shopping there, but it's the other stuff that excites me about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skell Dagger Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Obnoxious animated ads in the sidebar at Seraphim. I'm someone whose concentration can be easily and repeatedly broken by something moving in my peripheral vision, so I've now blocked every single animated banner ad in that sidebar. Good luck getting me to shop at your stores when your ads have annoyed me to the point of blocking them, people! This one right near the bottom (WARNING: rapidly flashing image that may trigger issues for those who are sensitive, hence I'm only linking) is nothing short of downright bloody irresponsible. I'm about to try and find someone to contact so that I can report it. ETA: I've emailed Seraphim about it, so hopefully it will be removed, or its owner contacted to switch it out for a static one.

MAYBE later in the month before the event closes, I could see them doing it to bring people back, or entice new people to come, but not opening day.

Ashlyn Voir Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) I get really annoyed when people stand dead center at a landing point and youāre hovering over their heads looking silly because they refuse to move. I donāt get why people do that. I canāt move very far as every time I go to a sim with people, my FPS goes down to like 2.5, not joking. But, I still manage to at least move in case other people show up. Dunno why that annoys me so much but it does.Ā Edited April 30, 2020 by Ashlyn Voir 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
