Rolig Loon Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I doubt that any of us know how many Lindens there are in the Governance team or how many ARs they have to process daily. A handful are the really serious, high-priority ones that involve theft, griefing, etc. I hope that they always move those ones to the top of the stack. Out of the rest, I suspect -- I really hope, actually -- that most of them are pretty trivial things that can be dealt with easily. And then there are ones that are not top priority but will take time to resolve because they involve going in world and doing some investigation or remediation. If Bellisseria residents are submitting a pile of ARs about covenant violations, many of them are going to lie in that last category. Depending on the size of the Governance crew, it might take a while to handle all of them. There are just too many unknown factors for us to figure out what a "normal" response rate ought to be, especially as Bellisseria gets bigger and people are being more diligent about watching for violations. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked it up for free inworld at one of the newbie building places many years ago. The person selling it just went on my 'bad sellers' list. I don't like to encourage folks to sell the misc items that have been free across the grid for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good thing is now that I've found the original one on marketplace - made by the person who was giving it out back when I got it in 09 (Carl, who used to run NCI), I see Carl also says we can redistribute it on his listing... so now I can pass that around when helping folks. So... I modified it to inverted and grayscale color scheme And I snuck that inside some of my freebies, as well as put it up for free under the identical license as the original.

I will rez different pieces from the Build menu and do all sorts of things to them, trying to figure out which one will best make whatever shape I'm trying to get. I'm pretty sure it is just pure luck whenever I manage to hit upon one that works. So the only way I'm making something that is odd shaped (odd in my view, anyway) is if I get lucky, or I happen to have something with Mod permissions that I can start with, or someone flat out tells me what to do (like your wonderfully simple post). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same! Except that I'm an impatient and basically terrible builder, and you're good at it! I decided to mock something up the other day to show to Cee so HE could build it (yes, that's how I build lol), gave up and dug out Nika's ancient Prim Finder, which sped things up immeasurably! https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Prim-Finder-20/142575 I'm going to have to see if your terrific corner shape is there, Knutz!

Coby Foden Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It looks like as if there is a competition going on who can build the highest (and ugliest) add-on on top of houseboat. 🙄 The one in the front is much higher than 15 meters. The one at the background is higher than 15 meters too. Somebody is trying to grow grass, trees, plants and flowers on wood deck - without proper planters and/or pots. It just looks so sad. 🙁 😛 And in some places there are full bright items such as: plants, curtains and even house add-ons! Aarghh.. 😕 Perhaps people having full bright objects are using fixed midday Windlight so they are not even aware of the problem how full bright looks at night? 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they as well are not new .I feel sorry foor the next door neighbor This just looks like they rezzed out their skybox at ground level long enough to check the size and center it on their parcel before sending it up. Since later reports say it was gone, maybe a ‘24 hour wait and see’ policy might be better unless a neighbor just gets into the bad habit of repeatedly rezzing and leaving out items that are in violation of the covenant. Just a thought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roseelvira Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Spoke to neighbor who lives near there and wish that was the situation. The owner was im about the sky box but never a response ...how ever i was informed after i posted the pic it went away . It seems like some of the( i am using the word offenders lightly ),, know the rules .. ... there are places to rez items and if in doubt all premiums have access to chat // in a few minutes they can get the info on how to do someting or use the forums or GOOGLE or if they are in the beli groups they can ask so there are many resourses to avoid the ars and everyone can enjoy the new homes It says the *Linden Homes should be kept presentable and in-theme to their unique areas. *Linden Homes can not be used as sandboxes. tAlso they can ask anyone in their groups for information . If a new person comes in and see using the sky box as example that and then they do it thinking its ok ,,,and that is not fair to a new person who is trying to learn or to the residents who keep the rules . When in doubt ask . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 24 hours means 24 hours that everyone else is not getting the full use and enjoyment of the region. My go-to "wait" period is... "are you still logged in AND on the parcel?" Exceptions being what they are - people should assume if they leave and leave something in violation sitting there... someone might file a report. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceptions being what they are - people should assume if they leave and leave something in violation sitting there... someone might file a report. i know i mostly appear to say, slap them, now, ban and remove... but that's of course a impossible way to keep Belli, and whole SL, alive. But as you describe.. contact if possible, send a message if needed, and act on it in a reasonable time. But what's showing is that there are sometimes quite some long times before there's acted, and thats a bad signal i think. As neighbours we have the possibility to derender things, so it's hidden quite easy, but often it's a symptom of how the neighbour will proceed, and that's something that should be prevented by informing in time. We already hear it here too..""moved because of the neighbours", that's not a solution, it's a mechanism as we see in rl often.. people moving out of nice areas because of the behaviour of others.
