Yay engineers ! \o/ the good ol' Arpanet works again! now people log in softly and slowly so the hamster does not get too much out of breath

I observed many sporadic MP errors during the last weeks too. And there are also long delays when accessing listing management. I also just got now a buyer that IM'd me because he didn't get the item he bought . It toke around 15 minutes delay until he got the item. At the moment they are investigating the current issue: https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/66rd950tj5w0 Edit: they are also doing a billing maintenance right now: https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/y5t0040pk2s8

The video of the governance meeting is now on SL Rapporteur''s YouTube channel:

Meanwhile I unlisted 6800 items. So now everything is 50 L$ or less. but it's not sales ;-). I am not really "protesting" with this but I want to stay far away from being used for criminal activities and possibly becoming even more a channel for washing stolen money, people account hacked and probably piratery. I "lost" a ridiculously tiny amount with the assessment. I just hung in at the very beginning of this resuscitated thread just to ask if other had also many L$ assessments lately. I did not expect what i learned here. As i was de-listing, LL opened a ticked and informed me that they re-assessed and refunded me. I did not even ask for it. The thing that got me the final kick, was reading above that a person with an hacked account was used, and did not even know. At that point i realized that weeks ago a person binged 4 full carts from my store, and being a reseller noob, i was not really sure what to think about that. Now I now. So now I will have to contact that nice lady, and if all is bad, tell her bad news. I hope not.

If you go to the profile through the web search, and look at the feed tab, it says that his display name was changed 9 hours ago and changed back changed back 6 hours ago.

...and meanwhile there were phishing attempts in plenty of groups. (AR'd of course) Preps for the weekend i guess?

Those Gacha sales were i got L$ assessments were from Gacha machines at events or from creators in-world shops. But the source of the sold MP item has nothing to do with the L$ assessment. LL takes the L$ back that was send to you because "obtained through an unauthorized source ". The really fishy thing is that by searching about that i find out that all threads talk about gacha. :-/ So i was wondering if it happens more often lately. (and a lot of more questions ..but hey

I got 3 such L$ assessments during this month plus two in December. Two during the last couple of days (that's why i was looking here . All from my MP gacha resell shop for totally around 1000 L$. Only once there was a rare item else just normal commons. I never had any in the 18 months since i sell on MP. Have other merchants/creators received such assessments more often then normally, lately? I wonder.

Maybe they changed name after they won? 🙂

Yes ...no. Gacha items are allowed in any category as far they pertain to it. Of course you will find the most under \gachas but that category is only around a year old, thus plenty of gachas elsewhere. Some reseller use the other categories since they make sense for people looking for particular items.

Dead thread?

Was done just after the gacha category was opened: 🙂 https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-225767 (sorry, my first one. did not know that small edits stay visible) Although i did that just to 'fix' the new situation. Now that it is still possible to also use the non-gacha categories, I will put 'floods' of new gachas in \gacha and other elsewhere. I would rather prefer to not have that gacha category but a switch in the page view were you can choose non-gacha/gacha/both. Problem would then be to ask all sellers to set their product switches correctly. I am sure the lab is considering the gacha situation further seen as often it is handled in this forum.
