item mysteriously disappeared from box

[Josh Susanto]

How did someone get into my boxes, and how did they delete one item?

I know it was there because one person viewed it on SLM before it became unavailble, otherwise, I would just assume I had failed to notice that it didn't list in the first place.

When looked for, though, it was in none of my boxes. NONE.

I have put it back, but seriously... what kind of explanation exists that should not only make me more paranoid?

You may have done it yourself while you were in another state of mind. Now that's something to be paranoid about.

I would have had to do it while I wasn't anywhere near a computer, and surrounded by witnesses to the fact that I was not near a computer during the time in which the item was both viewed and then deleted.

Does that sound more plausible or less plausible than something that didn't involve me?

Joking, I have no doubt your item disappeared of its own accord. Unless you find peanut butter in your keyboard, then perhaps it was the Fornits after all.

But since you mention plausible, let me query you back ... more plausible that the platform isn't stable since it's inception in 2003, and that your item was a casualty of a technical problem or that a Linden came along and swiped that item out of your Magic Box?

You would think the latter, but ...

I'd bring this up in the next session of the Commerce User Group, though.

Hi Josh

 

One explanation I can think of... the item was "no copy" - so you could sell it once only. Seems that even if you set the permissions differently, occasionally SL has hiccups where permissions revert...

If your region was rolled back that may account for it assuming you had only very recently added the item to the box.

EIther that or there is a hole in your box and your item fell out.......get it? a hole in your box........you make holes.........hmmm..............i'll get my coat.

Except that it was never purchased; it was only viewed.

But, since in the early days of SLM, one item was actually purchased without being viewed by anyone, the reverse of that bug might also be possible. 

The object, itself, has always been full perms, and I posted no limit to the supply on SLM. 

Are you saying the perms got borked while it was in the box, and then SLM, coincidentally, just didn't record the sale?

Or maybe someone just went to the sim and deleted it right out of the boxes?

Which actually seems less unlikely?

That's seeming less and less nonsensical the more I look at this incident.

Possibly, but my Fornits are not that ingenious, generally.

They tend to do things like this:

Hi Josh

 

That'll teach me to read properly - I missed it was only viewed... duh !

I did wonder whether you viewing your item counts as "viewed" - still doesn't explain the disappearance however.

Weirder and weirder!

Understood. The whole thing is a bit confusing, really.
