We do own land that is adjacent. We are the only land adjacent with respect to a linden road and a rail road on the other side also lindens. The 4 th side is a sim border. This land never showed for sale or showed abandon. It never went to auction either and was sold to an SL realtor for 1L$ per square ft. The land was purchased and now for sale for 25,000 lindens. Hence a suspicious transaction, as we sent a message to original owner expressing interest if it was ever sold. We don’t know of new rules set out to acquire land, except for what we learned along the way, with auctions and abandon lands. We also relied on SL map to display land sales and or auction lands. Thank you again for your imput. I do appreciate the feed back and agree, there use to be a process when land was abandon. This land never showed abandon, as it was watched, unless it happened within hours of abandonment! And we missed it. Great community we have here, lots of info and learning that comes from everyone’s experiences. Thank you to everyone who has had an input into this thread! Be safe

Yes … grins!

Thank you Rowan, I wasn’t aware a resident could state their land is protected land, because only lindens could own Offical protected land!. So that would be a no no, in doing so. I appreciate your comment, thank you once again!

Yes protected land, I always believed to be owned by lindens, but here is the catcher. Protected land always belongs to Governor linden. No SL resident owns protected land that I’m aware of and I have been in SL a long time, even if land is abandon, it never says protected land and abandon land goes back to the hands of lindens. That was what made all this so suspicious. We could not figure out why a resident had protected land and it didn’t say Governor Linden, plus being deeded to a private group was strange also. Then to see a linden manipulating the parcel, setting it to a specific name, who was a SL realitor was another flag as this parcel was never for sale or abandon. Thank you so much for replying and sharing with me. Was trying to get some insight on this and find out if things changed or anyone else has had same experience. I appreciate your time!

Hello Qie in reviewing the “about land” often, to check to see land for sale and the only thing other residence have to seek out info on a parcel, it always showed a SL resident name as owner, in there it described the land as protected! The group name was a private group assuming the owner belonged to or made up.

Yes, we took snap shots, gyazo form. We also messaged them and then they went into away mode. 5 hours later a message came back “what land” hmmm. Just very suspicious, so thought I would ask. Yes I agree lots of lindens back in the day fraternize with residence. That stopped moons ago and we never seen Lindens in world again, u less they helped with an issue and even that was seldom, as they were able to correct problems, like you say from their admin place. Personally, I would like to see more info sent out or placed on an SL website to the procedures and rules to residents rights and just what lindens can and can’t do. Then at least we would know. I have never seen a linden not answer a question a resident has and at least not 5 hours later and be dumb about it. When that person was asked questions, many question in an Im. Very strange behaviour I must say. The land, the away mode and a 5 hour delay to get back a response! Thanks again Molly, appreciative of your time and your info. Take care!

Thank you molly, this was land we know belonged to a SL resident and had our eye on it, to see if it would come up for sale. It never did. It never came up for auction either, but a linden was setting the land for sale for a specific buyer at 1L per meter. Set it so a realitor of SL to buy! We never got a chance to purchase and thought this was strange activity coming from a linden to manipulator a residence land to sell to a certain person! Thank you so much for your reply. I would really like to know the rights and logistics of all this. As a land owner, I have never seen this type of activity in 15 years of SL. Only when the land became abandoned, you might see a linden. When land is abandon there is a procedure also, not just turn land over to a specific person in SL especially a Realitor!

Here is a question I’d like to ask a linden! Can a resident have and own protected land, list it under a public/ private in world group name and have a linden manage it, as tho it belongs to a linden? Why wouldn’t the existing land Have Governor Linden as owner name? Why hide it? Can they reserve that land for sale, or abandon land, without offering to an existing resident of the sim first, or with no signal the land is available for exchange! I know land can be sold and exchanged between residence at any time, but this land was sold by auction prices, before auction @ 1L per Meter and a linden was manipulating another persons parcel and at no time was a lindens name attached, like you would see Governor Linden as an owner! The land was never shown as abandon either, or for sale! what’s going on?

When is THE MESH PROJECT going to update their customers and give customer support. The wearers of this first designed mesh body has stolen Lindens with promises to the SL community dwellers. I think we have been abused with false promises. We allowed them into our groups to listen and get feedback on their product,giving them free ideas! only for them to complain TOS infringement because our group name had Mesh Project additicts (Mesh Project) in our name. We had to shut down our groups which was the only support for this mesh body. They have a website that is limited to use for members because they dont like negative feedback so you are blocked to inquire or make any complaints.If anyone knows anything about this Major Mesh Body Designer, I think they owe it to customers to come thru with the promises or refund us all. The Mesh Project Body wearers are being abused which I feel is going against TOS by making False Promises about their product on which members have paid very high lindens.It seems they have dropped off face of SL earth and Members now fear all the clothing purchased and is installed into their system could be lost if they leave as everything is on a server they own and members have no control of clothing they have trsuted to TMP as part of the style system to dress this body.This issue isnt isolated as I have owned the body for a number of yrs and have had no support communication,except for what they call live help at their shop! which is terribly lame and half the time is difficult to get answers you understand or they are rude! Thank you for any knowledge or help on this issue it will be appreciated

I know this is frustrating as I am having the same problem and have had a premium account for 9 yrs now. I also use credit card and have also verified age with linden labs with drivers license. (which I have been uncomfortable with ) My market place has everything in the selection drop down of "Show marutity Levels" that you received an answer to follow the link and select. How lame is that? as we all can see those boxes and have checked them out a thousand times. Nothing can be selected except what is given "GENERAL" so we still are blocked from viewing the full benefits of what the market place offers because of the forced GENERAL rating tab !! I don't have any advice or answers for you, unfortunately. I just wanted to let you know... your not alone with this problem and if I were a designer I would complain to lindens for blocking my items to GENERAL viewing customers!! Thanks for the ear! ... I hope we all find a solution to this problem
