dario0591 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) do not accept any type of group from people who invite you to accept a group tag in SL in order to work as photographic models for adults by stealing Linden, right here on this forum someone is doing it and is doing it. Be very careful. Edited December 28, 2019 by dario0591 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The groups themselves can't steal money off you if there is a fee to join a group and you choose to join it you have willingly handed over your money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you search for the group and look at the description then it is your choice. If someone arbitrarily invites you to a group - always decline it. As for photography in SL: The photographer should be paying YOU, not the other way around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillith Hapmouche Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Doesn't Firestorm have an option to give you a handy warning before you join a group with a join fee? Right now, I only find a general "confirm before paying" threshold in the options... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucia Nightfire Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Also, once you've joined a group, especially one that has few people, check the role(s) you are in and make sure none have Pay Liabilities checked, else you could be paying for any tier fees or show in search fees for land tied to the group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about when donated tier has been pulled by one or more group members after land has been deeded to the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when somebody is the last with a donation, the group can abandon or sell the land that's over the donation. Also it's not tied to the liabilities as might be the impression now in this discussion about join fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend that got burnt with fees when someone in their group lost their account and their donated tier was removed. This was a long time ago. Maybe protocol has changed?

This was a long time ago. Maybe protocol has changed? Group liabilities do not apply to land-use-fees at any tier. They apply to group expenditures, more specifically: if the group owns land and they turn on the "Show in search" or create classified ads, etc - those are the costs you will be contributing to. Likely never more that L$1 per week. But even that can add-up pretty quickly. It has always been this way. The friend you refer to is pulling your leg. Really hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, if you're being hired as a model, the photographer should be paying you - if you want a photographer to make you a profile pic or something such, you pay the photographer!

This was a long time ago. Maybe protocol has changed? Very likely your friend was the group owner/founder and when the other person's tier was removed the group was short of needed tier. The only way to keep all of the land that the group owned would be to either find other group members to donate tier or take on the expense by bumping their own tier. The group owner can always choose to get rid of some land in order to not have increased tier cost. In any case, none of that has anything to do with the Liabilities.

This is old in sl, rl also, people pay for qualifications they never use after.From my experience, all the big sellers in the sl fashion never hire models, they use some friends or alts for photo's. anyway we are talking some few money here, 100 L$ is cheap, years ago, joinig a supermodel group was few k's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
