Don't make us have a ghost zone - People start to turn on land privacy

[Ruslana Koskinen]

Removal of  ban line is good move. But, if everyone put up privacy 7x24 for no reason, Linden Home area before look like a ghost city.  Please consider turn it up on necessity.  Personal, I hope there has privacy orb. so the invisible is sticking to a place, rather than a land. Further, privacy should be changed single side. Current privacy just make us isolated from each others.  

Land privacy should be added to the house control panel. So it can be managed by friends or alts.

so the last chance to have at least sóme privacy has to poof because you can't see what others do ?
... you can see if somebody is at home and IM him/her to see if she/he is available for your social interaction.
There is totally no need to see if somebody is having chicken for dinner or is watching his daily porn clip.

I think she means that if everyone has it on all the time the neighbourhood wouldnt look all that neighbourly. Look out side in rl at any given time and the street is full of people or there are people in the yards cleaning or playing... 

I dont think she meant she wants to perv in on her neighbours. More so just the feel of having a real neighbourhood.

Each to their own but I see her point.

grab a (wearable) deckchair at What Next and go sit on the roads there you can see all what you say now.
If there's also no privacy left in the houses where you want to stop?  Need also CC info and income scales?
Yes i know those examples are nuts, but the wishes vented on this section of the forum get absurder every day. (. not saying this wish is absurd category, but very unrealistic)

What nonsense! *sorry

There are numerous public places where you can meet with neighbours. It's up to you whether you want an open neighborhood or not and whether you turn off your security or not and whether you make yourself visible to everyone.

Woah! Calm down. No one mentioned CC info lol. 

She didnt say leave the damn thing off. She merely asked why have it on 24/7.

If you wanted constant 'privacy' why move to a bustling community that has longed for this type of SL. One thats social even.

Ps lawn chair would put me in the same category and old man neighbour who sits and waves and everyone going passed. But he does so from his front stepa not the street.

[Cindy Evanier]

No thanks, I dont want to have to remember to turn it on and off every time I want to get naked to put together an outfit.  I don't want to see my neighbours who leave it turned on when they do the same.  Open your map, look at the dots.  I dont leave my RL front door unlocked nor do I expect to see random people wander into my garden.  First we got the security orb changes, now you want to take away more privacy?

[Jules Catlyn]

People are lazy by nature. They just set their preferences and leave them that way. They don't want to fiddle with land settings before they want to engage in activities they think warrant a certain setting.

There are numerous social areas to be social.  your home doesn't have to be that if you don't want

the community you want exists only in the minds of a few idealists, it's not there, and will never be. A majority of people living at the new continent will never ever join into your dream, they just want a pretty house with privacy in a nice sim.

Sighs. You are right. Your home doesnt have to be any thing you dont want. I never said it had to. I just kinda saw the picture the OP was trying convey. Nothing more or less.

Oh honey im not sure where youve lived but ive seen plenty of pretty homes on nice sims with privacy. 

On the topic of idealist, you might wana thank them. Id bet my left nut (if I had one) they had a hand in your pretty, private, nice sim lol. All those explorers who have complained yearly about banlines and orbs. All the people complaining about the unruly behaviour on the mainland and how ugly it is. Im guessing those idealist complaints got you your pretty SL lol 

As for whos dreams are whos erm, I'm not the OP so defs not mine. I just want somewhere to fly where im not going to get teleported back home if i go off course with no warning and now I have it. 

[Leora Jacobus]

The other day I saw some people moving in nearby that I didn't like AT ALL

... I was happy to realize soon that they had turned on privacy and I saw them in radar, could see their profiles but NOT zoom in to them. Quickly I turned on my own privacy too!! - One thing that I do like in RL is that you can NOT see through the walls of your neighbour's houses!

I frequently go for walks or on bycicle rides or visit the many community places in our nice list

... THEN is the time to get social.

at first, i'm not your honey, and it's pretty offencise and rude to name somebody you don't know that way.
And second.. i have no sim, and can't care less for things like complaining travelers, and from some things people can't have enough in stock... banlines and orbs are just two of it.

I had this topic with my friend today. She said "let's wait and see 3 months, it will become another old mainland alike." So I open this thread.

i think she is right, but thats how people are, the nicest neighbourhoods in real can turn in a ghetto within a few years.
The ugly mainland where's so often is referred to, wasn't that bad in the first years either.
And don't forget the influence of LL, as soon maintaing rules starts failing and only is based on reporting, it will be a sliding scale down.

Oh lord 🤐  i never knew the word 'honey' was offensive. Where im from its just a everyday word. We use it for someone we talk to. That among others. I wont mention them in case they too, are offensive.

My apologies.

Look on the bright side, were getting to know each other lol I now know you take offense to being called the H word (wont happen again) and you dont care for multiple other things. And you now know I didnt know it was offensive and why. How social is that! (I really want to insert a High five emoji buuuut it might be offensive, maybe next time).

Reporting was not quite effective in old Linden Home. I did many times about usage abusive but nothing changed. Hope here will be better.

[Liss Starlight]

I turn my privacy on when needed, other times I would love for my neighbors to drop by and if they see I am at home then chanses I hope, are better for them to feel that they can 😊 I understand however that some feel that need to have privacy on. We are all different and that is totally OK 🧡

I think in used in certain context and usually when you are disagreeing with someone, it comes across as condescending.

they can perfectly see that with privacy on ..and like rl, give a call(I) if it's convenient to have a shared moment of neighbourhoodism, communication or social, no need to see you shower, cuddle or desperatly waiting for one to come by

[Liss Starlight]

Fox as I said.. we are all different 😊 and I am not desperatly waiting.. how about we try be nice in our choices of words ? Have a super day now

this, but also it's really not done to use words like that here, the same with "mate/dude/buddy... and a few more"  totally normal in some regions on this world, but thanks to globalism, or global warming, not sure about that, it spreads like oil on the water, but it's still not generally accepted in public or social interaction with strangers here. For us it's on the same level as somebody calling a whiner, twa t or other less nice namings.
Compare it with, for example, Germans, they will never ever use the word "you" to parents or others, but will always use "Sie" the "thy/U" in english/dutch

perfect example of misunderstanding, in my experience many people don't get the difference anymore in literaly and figuratively examples
same as the naming perhaps a cultural thing.

That is a very kind and sociable attitude. But in RL if your neighbour wants to drop in he at LEAST would ring your doorbell - and not just walk in. And in RL even my SON usually tells me via phone that he intends to come over - in case I might be out or asleep or lying naked in the bathtub!

So if your neighbours see your green dot in SL they would look in the radar and (read your profile! - and if they decide they like it) IM you and say "Hello neighbour! How about some coffee? Would you like to come over or shall we?"

Leora that is what I was thinking, maybe I am not so used ot turn on full privacy lol. I hope people will ring the doorbellor call first of course haha !
