Peeve: People who come right out and ask for your avie's shape numbers. Really? I always try to be nice, but this annoys me. Now they've put it on me to find a polite way of telling them "not a chance" I'm always willing to give suggestions, but "here's my shape?" No way. Best reply: I purchased the shape and it is No Mod, so I don't have access to the numbers. Or better yet - say you got it from a friend who has left SL. That way they aren't asking for the store that you bought it at. Tiny white lies don't matter here.

Lysistrata Szapira Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 They've already introduced the anonymization of the top sellers tab. The names of the stores were there yesterday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a great many of their "top places to go" are adult, that might be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 A-hah! I remembered my peeve now. Group notice spam. Okay, hear me out, it's a little more specific, and I know I could just turn off group notifications - but there are notifications that I'd like to see. Once. If I join a store's group, it's probably because I like their stuff and want to stay posted on new releases or updates, or get a discount or gifts - and I very much like it when they announce new releases or that they've got something out for sale, or a store-wide sale. But I don't need thirty-twelve notifications about the same dang weekend sale item, all that does is clog up my notifications, drowning out any other notifications I've left on because I'm interested in seeing them (again, once!). And when more than one store group is doing it, so that they're all just kind of drowning each other out, what's the bloody point? All that does is stutter my viewer for a few seconds when I have to delete 80 or so notifications every time I log on. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain stores that send out the same spam at least 5-10 times a day. I guess they do it because a lot of SLers don't ever look at group notices, but still, they don't need to bombard us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most awful thing -- it was -7C with wind chill today. And I saw a student walking to classes, properly bundled up in a winter coat, but wearing . . . crocks. With bare feet.

Yes, I saw that -- and I think even quoted it above in this thread. What we haven't yet been told is that inclusion in the Bonniebot list of avatars and merchants will be "opt-out," or that merchants' names will be hidden (which rather renders that feature pointless, I think?)
