I believe that is against the Second Life Marketplace Listing Guidelines.

It's the 'when' part of this statement that slightly worries me.

Is that like those anti-griefer groups who are always eager to teleport to wherever griefers are spotted, and to 'combat' then with all kinds of 'anti-griefer' tools that make a spectacular show for those who aren't too concerned about massive collateral damage (and free of charge, I should add)?

Zero, zilch, nill, O I wouldn't even start with breedables or any other CPU-hogging, lag-inducing pyramid scheme, even if I were offered money for it. I wouldn't even rent a single square meter of land on any continent or island estate if there's the slightest whiff of breedable farm on it. In fact, over the course of time, I abandoned numerous swaths of land after I found out I got new neighbors who started to breed things and all scripted objects around me started to run like peanut butter from an opened, upside-down jar. But that's just my personal opinion that I needed to vent here, based on the title. As you can tell, it hit a nerve. Let that by no means keep you from having fun with breedables.

That's interesting indeed. Although I must say all of those images have an incredible 'ooh, shiny' factor, when compared to the others. Here's another dirty trick to get you high up in the relevance list instantly: set your item for sale for L$ 50,000, buy a copy yourself, then set the price to the intended value, say, L$ 300. It'll cost you 5%, or L$ 2,500 commission to LL, but it puts you on a spot to be noticed. Last time I used it was years ago, though. I can't guarantee it still works. And if it does*, it also depends on the quality of your product, and willingness of people to buy it, to stay up there. * Also, don't tell anyone else, because if everyone does it, it won't work anymore.

I want to be able to take the bloody scripts out.

You know your art is good when your yacht scheduler has a nervous breakdown over the increasing work load.

Make a new art that is simpler, with more space, less confusing and less busy? You'll only know if you try it.

First time I have ever seem drama of that specific type, in all my 12 years in SL. But then again, my single personal experience does not guarantee that this is indeed normal for Second Life.

I'm not from Africa, but ek praat 'n bietjie Afrikaans. Ek hoop dit help.

I'll trust you on that, given the prevalence of 'no sc*t' clauses in people's Picks. The sheer number implies that the practice of 'fecal translocation' seems to be the default. Consequently, I am wondering now whether it would be safer to include a modest opt-out on this matter (no pun intended) in my own profile too. Better yet, I'll just add 'RP: permanent God mode', which is probably more inclusive exclusive.

Pet peeves (profiles)? Yass! *grabs bingo card*

Correctly spelled 'in-world', is an official description of being in a virtual environment, https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/in-world The opposite of in-world is 'in real life', or IRL. All this jargon was new for me too, when I came into SL. I had never heard of abbreviations like afk, brb, avi, inv, and kk before.

I don't have any excuse to drop this link here, other than Rutger.

Turing test, Voight-Kampff test... tortoises, turtles...

@Sylvannas Zulaman This has been a recurring theme in the forum, "Can person X be banned for reason Y?" Let me enlighten you about this. This has nothing to do with the ToS. Instead, it has everything to do with the right of a land owner and their representatives to decide who has access to it and who has not. You may not like the answer, but it's the hard reality: No matter who X is or no matter what Y is, anyone can ban anyone else for any reason in SL. Even for racist reasons. You can abuse report them for being racist, and they will get banned themselves by LL, but that still does not grant you access to their land, unless they get evicted and unless the next owner does not ban you for wearing orange on a Tuesday.

Real people not passing the Turing test... Why am I even surprised?

For just a few L$ you can rent a plot of land and truly claim to be God and declare illegal and ban those who dare to wear pink on a Tuesday.

Hey, I won the Nobel Prize for Literature for my whole literary oeuvre, but particularly for my bestseller: "Should BS be illegal?"

I can tell you with great confidence that up to now, it's been quite easy, actually.

I remember the MystiTool for containing over 40 scripts, one of which was used to tell the owner what was being communicated on channel 1. Imagine all the n00bs getting one en masse when the thing was made available for free. At one point, I heard of a MystiTool owner complaining about a product that was built by a colleague of mine, that communicated a lot on channel 1. This owner got flooded with object communication lines and demanded my colleague used another channel.

OR My weekly stipend is raised to L$ 10,000,000. What silly discussion about improbable hypotheticals is this?

Just about anything can be used as a projectile in SL. No matter the size, it'll fit through the barrel of a gun.
