    Doesn't it send them to a safe hub already if they don't yet have a home set? By now I would have thought that LL would have defaulted every new account to the place they rezzed initially as their home. Is that asking too much? I guess I was coming from the point of view that a person would be using TP home from a private region rather than an orb. Perhaps that is a wrong assumption.

    I had a catfisher from Thailand hang out side my place for days. It all started friendly enough and I allowed the visit but when a friend and I weren't buying what he was selling, he got abusive so I ejected and banned him. It was so funny, he took 20mins attempting to get back in before realising he couldn't. Every time he saw I was on he would IM and attempt to cajole, send more abuse, anything he could to get a reaction. Even if I had TP'd him home, he would have still come back and stayed just outside my window. The funny thing is that it was the fact that I totally ignored him, making him think I had muted him, that eventually made him go away, nothing else. Boredom is the greatest defense.

    Agreed and I have addressed that in my previous post - definitely not ideal but what can be done instead?

    TP home can mean crashing out of SL. I don't think that is acceptable for mainland where people can stumble around and get caught accidentally. Even if TP's were 100% reliable I would still say TP Home is too much. It should be enough that a person is off my property, that's as far as my power should extend. I'll go one further and say that TP home when damage reaches zero should be disabled too for the same reason. I really would like a better option even for private regions but I just don't think there is one. However you have to TP to a private region and so nobody is stumbling around and finding themselves on it by accident so I think the risk is acceptable in that one case.

    I think the biggest boon to SL travellers would be if that LL invested in making it so that it doesn't matter whether you are ejected by orb or hit a banline, that your journey is always recoverable, any vehicle you are in continues running and you are able to navigate off the banline. I feel if that was a guarantee, even at region crossings, much of the travelling woes would fade.

    I'm afraid I have. There were replicated huge objects across a few regions I found a few months ago. They were there for a few days after I AR'd them and then they were gone.

    In my opinion, only from private regions, otherwise it causes more harm than good. It would be nice if that were disabled for mainland.

    Hypothetically, I think if LL were to go with a 15 second minimum on eject/ban by script then the viewer tools should still operate instantly. That would mean that griefers could be dealt with swiftly when you are around and your normal security system becomes compliant with the new rules.

    When you enter the region would be my vote.

    Look at what happens when we stray from the topic. It's lions and tigers and bears. Oh My!

    I'm not going to advise to stay or go as each person should decide for themselves. These forums don't suit everyone. Calling people mean-spirited, etc. is also being mean about members of our community and isn't really going to do anything but create more bad feelings. I want to know what people really think about things and we have that here, even now. Sometimes it seems brutal but that is as much about how people receive it as it is about how it's delivered. Do we really want a place that's just full of wishy-washy platitudes because they are too afraid to say what they really think? That's a place that I would quit instantly. I don't care whether I read the near-performance art style angry postings or get pulled up on my incorrect form of archaic English. These are the real people of the forums. It also has to be said, this place is a paragon of behaviour compared to much of the internet. I agree with this and want to give it the prominence it deserves and thank Dafadilia for their post:

    It also perfect for those who don't want to see ban lines too, just sayin' Edit: You probably meant that as well but when I read it I was thinking you meant about the seamless region crossings. I haven't had my first coffee yet.

    I've seen parcels owned by Lindens on mainland with ban lines in the past.

    I used to have a parcel of land in Bay City next to the road. The automated buses there run by a resident used to pass by every 20 mins or so and due to lag would leave the road and come barrelling through my house. Things in SL can always be worse.

    Yes, I was aware of it but wanted to address that as a thing. I agree. I try not to think in terms of good/bad/evil because as you have said these are abstract and fluid. I like instead the idea of a life either in balance or out of balance determining the benefit/harm that is done to those around an individual or to themselves.

    I liked the video though there are somethings that aren't quite accurate. Are we sure the lab didn't commission or suggest this? The new Welcome Hub is in the video and usually videos about SL show the world from 5 years or more ago. It's great either way though and shows SL in a great way in my opinion.
  20. Gabriele Graves
    I'll admit that I have difficulty with the idea that people are naturally good when being good requires such a struggle to achieve.
  21. Gabriele Graves
    People are complicated. Good/Evil are very blunt terms to describe most. I believe we are more a melting pot of different things all mixed together in a chaotic mix.
  22. Gabriele Graves
    I prefer people to be their genuine selves and show it. That means both good and bad. Sanitised communication is banal.
  23. Gabriele Graves
    Some are.

    I trained in customer support at one point and in that training we were told that 80% of communication is body language.

    I think that there has to be an allowance for written text too. Detecting these things from text isn't as easy as with speech. There are far more clues in the delivery from the spoken word.
