I misread your post, thinking that it meant you were saying that TOS couldn't regulate security orbs.
No; my point is that LL has already decided that use of security orbs on mainland, even zero-second ones, is acceptable.
But, it's still possible to avoid flying into them if you make use of protected land.

I tried to do some modelling, One or two people made comments about my body (Slink Hourglass) looking old, Plus the shop discontinued it. So i upgraded to legacy, But i kinda preferred my old shape and had waaay more clothes and skins for that body too. Is it THAT noticeable if i go back to it? I've seen plenty of Avis lately that look more "basic" than mine did. Or should i just stick with legacy and move on?
I'd consider Reborn - one of my alts used Hourglass but now that its no longer supported by either Slink themselves or any clothing creators, she needed a body to replace it and Reborn gave the closest match to her Hourglass shape. So she now wears Reborn for new outfits, and switches back to Hourglass to wear older ones.
But if you've already bought Legacy it would be a shame to waste it - you might not be able to get the same shape with it, but nevertheless it's widely suported by most clothing creators.

Yes there is - the TOS specifically incorporates the "Second Life Mainland Policies" document, which allows Linden Lab to regulate/restrict content/scripts.
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Mainland_policies
To answer the automatic replies that will be generated by this, I'm not saying that they do or will. However, they can.
I'm unable to find a reference to security orbs in that document. Can you help me find it?

I've taken up flying in Second Life and find it a wonderful way of exploring the SL world. It is quite enjoyable when one restrict one's area of interest to Bellisseria and doesn't descend below 100m above ground. At that height one appears to avoid ban lines and since one travels at 15m/sec (or thereabout), one has no problem with surveillance orbs that allow incursions of 15 secs or less.
Flying across other mainland continents is quite another matter. It appears that even at 400m above ground, SL's property rights fanatics on as little as 1024 parcels have the ability to send you back to your home parcel if one of your wings as much as touches their sovereign land. Is there no way to avoid this fate? Are there no SL TOS provisions that prevent unreasonable ejections?
There's no TOS provision to restrict security orbs on mainland. That's really the whole popnt of mainland - that people are allowed to do more or less what they want there. Perhaps more so now than previously, now that all the people who don't want land like that have moved out and now live in Bellisseria.
However there is a way to avoid the fate, and that's to watch your map, and fly over Linden roads and Linden water - anywhere that shows as Protected land. And keep an eye on where all those GTFO hubs are; they will have a place to rez if you do get kicked out of your vehicle and need to re-rezz it. Airports are easy to spot on the main map; they take up a LOT of space. Visit them, collect a bunch of landmarks, and you'll always have somewhere available for an emergency take-off.

The leaders still relied on their popularity to get very far in their quest for power.
The only popularity that mattered to any Roman Emperor, was popularity with the Senate. Popularity with the general public was wholly irrelevant.

I want to give traffic and listens to support people in Second Life doing the same thing.
As a former club owner - listening to a club's stream outside of the club does not benefit the club in any way. It doesn't add "traffic". Additional "listens" don't do anything positive, in fact they might even be a disadvantage because each stream has a cap on the number of users who can listen at any one time. Ever been to a very busy club and was unable to hear the stream? That could have been a reason.
Club owners across SL are going to prefer that you park your avatar (or an alt) actually in their club, even if you're not interacting or tipping. That will help them much more than listening remotely.

If you haven't, check out @Suki Blossom's Black Atoll (also in the Destination Guide): it's the kind of rural beach that reminds me of western Ontario on Lake Huron or Georgian Bay: small beaches, coniferous forests, rocks, lighthouses . . . it's really lovely! And for me, very nostalgic of childhood summer vacations!
OOH I need to check that out. I went on a "once-in-a-lifetime" vacation to that area in the late 90s and it was gorgeous. We were at Woods Bay, near Mac Tier. The boating and fishing was the best part. We had a week at the lake, then a week in Toronto, and a side-visit to Niagara Falls.

I would date either of my girl alts. But I think they would rather date each other.

I took that to mean a package of alpha masks, as Slink used to do with theirs.

It's based on Ruth 2.0 isn't it? that has an alpha hud.
I think there's one verion of Ruth 2 that has an alpha hud, though I forget who makes it. This one, according to it's listing, does not.

Well the alpha thing I was talking about would be something that came with your body, not the gloves. Look in the folder for your body, there might be something called an "alpha HUD" or similar -
free/cheap BOM bodies which is what this one is, don't have alpha huds

Looking at the marketplace links to the avatar you have and the gloves, I can see a couple of things. First, the body is a basic BOM body (like Ruth), and the gloves are made for the basic classic body. So they should work, kind of...
However, you're wearing all the sizes, large, medium, small, etc. Pick one and don't wear the others. Keep the alpha mask on (the thing with the symbol that looks like a white t-shirt)
Second, you will need to edit your shape. If the largest size is not large enough, reduce your torso muscles and bodyfat sliders. I think you also need to reduce your hand size to avoid the gaps between your gloves and the fingers - if that doesn't help, it's just a badly made alpha.Ignore this. It will only work if you remove the Alice body. Which you really will need to do, if you want to wear these gloves.Try swapping for the one marked "new" instead. The creator may have updated it.
The best solution is to just remove the Alice body altogether and wear the classic system body only, which is what those gloves are made for.

Will there be other active creators that could updated it?
No. Once made and uploaded, that's it, even the original creator cant change it. The creator may choose to update the product with additional fits for different bodies, but then again, they may not. It's a lot of work to do that.

Thanks, but not very useful, since I have the same problem
You've used a rez-box to rez a build, and failed to click "Finish/Save". If the rez-box is still out, click it and select Finish or Save from the menu. If you aleady deleted the rez-box, delete the whole build, then get the rez box out again and re-rez the build.

Are there any sort of script that could stretch the cloth's mesh so that the arms don't collide through them?
Unfortunately not. You need to wear the body that the garment is made for.

Premium Plus gets you a guarantee of 2048sq. m of Land. It does NOT guarantee you a 2048m Bellissetria home. This was clear even before it launched, so you would have known this upon purchase. So long as there's mainland available as an alternative, it's not a scam.
And we all know there's plenty of mainland available. Buy some and build your own ranch. You don't need Bellisseria for that, no-one talks to their neighbours in Bellisseria anyway.

I wasn't aware that you could drive a boat through a teleporter.
You can't, unless it's the sort that is an attachment (there are a few, not many). If it's a vehicle you're driving/sitting on, you'll be unseated upon teleport and the boat will either remain stuck at the region where the teleporter is, or auto-returned, depending on the settings of the region where it eventually comes to a stop.

I rented a house fairly early on; in the first couple of weeks, because I hated having my "set home" location at an infohub. The house was part of a little community in Heterocea, spread across three regions, and the owner did two things to get me hooked; first, he took me for a ride in his helicopter. Second, he taught me how to build (with prims).
And then one day I logged in to find all the tenants in confusion because the owner had apparently left SL, leaving the land with the houses still there but with auto-return turned off. I lived there rent-free for a few more weeks, in a state of ever-increasing anarchy with abandoned vehicles, houses set on fire and basically what amounted to an un-regulated sandbox. Eventually, I guess the money ran out, Governor Linden reclaimed the land and everything was returned.
After a break from SL of a year or so, when I came back I sought out a rental again, and this time it went much better. I stayed with her for years, ultil she retired, but this time I bought the land from her and I'm still there.

The group for Club Noir was cursed and never worked properly in the last 4-5 years. Notices were fine but group chat was flaky and after multiple support tickets, after which it would work fine for a day or two and then fail again, Linden Lab just threw in the towel and suggested I created a new group. Even much bigger groups I belong to were never as bad as that one.

I feel like I want to answer all of these "This or That's".
How about... DJ or live performer?

Granted, but it's a Molotov cocktail and the beach is on North Sentinel Island.
I wish I could afford a whole region in SL

It's October 1st and no new names??!
They don't do ALL of the holidays EVERY year. Maybe this year it will be Christmas names?
I wish they would do normal-sounding names more often though. If they added "Lincoln" to the list (still not used - I've checked) I'd pay 40 bucks for that in a heartbeat. And yes I have voted for it. But I guess it's not dumb enough to be selected.

- How long have you participated in Second Life?
- How many hours per week (on average) do you participate in SL?
- How much time have you invested in your avatar?
- Do you make your real identity known, or do you remain pseudonymous?
- What is the worst thing a person can do in SL?
1. 17 years
2. Currently, around 6-8 hours per week but in the past it's been much more than that.
3. ummm... 17 years divided by 4 avatars.
4. depends on who I'm talking to. There's one person in SL who knows everything about me, the rest get selected snippets. I never give out my RL last name or date of birth anywhere online including SL,
5. adult stuff involving child avatars (instant perma-ban for that)
Bonus - I spend about £35 per month, almost all of this is for my land, however I have rented some of it out so I get a bit of money back for the rentals so it works out more like £25 per month.

I've said right from the very beginning that the solution is to allow in the username one single underscore, provided that it's not the first or last character in the username, and render it as a space in the viewer. Hey presto, last names. Easy.
However, they will never do this, expecially now that last names are a cash-cow.

Why is Flying so difficult in Second Life
in Mainland
Posted
No terms and conditions for any company will list the entirety of what's acceptable. Only what's not acceptable. Find me where it says its okay to wear a yellow shirt? Where it says it's okay to swim in shark-infested water? Where it says it's okay to do the Chicken Dance in public?
The Bellisseria covenant specifically states that zero second orbs are not permitted in Bellisseria. If they were not permitted in mainland, it would say so, somewhewre. But it doesn't. Individual land-owners are free to make their own decision on the matter.
