    Viewer privacy options

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

      I know this to be a issue when building or doing things you don't want to be disturbed at while doing so I tried the viewer options I still got the flashing IM tabs, and sounds, I have learned how to turn them off.

    **For sounds in FS:

    Preferences > Sounds &Media > UI Sounds 1  look down to ninth on the list, to turn off there is check boxes and there is drop down arrows for sound choices.

    **Now the flashing in FS: 

    Preferences > User interface > 2D overlay  there is two sliders on the bottom of that, slide both to the left to 0. now click save.

    Now to stop IM's ever from groups with out having to go into each group profile? here is a lil device I have been using since 2017:

    https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JK-RLV-Ignore-Button-Box-v10/1993446    

     I love this lil device. it uses RLV and it basically blocks IM;s  not only from anyone but blocks group, it sends people a  typical RLV blocked IM message but I can custom make any message. I have RLV on and  go to my RLVa tab in FS, then go to Strings and then put in my custom blocked message , then relog to save it. I tell you the RLV ignore hud is awesome, I can FOCUS but yet I can allow whitelisted friends n groups if I am doing something that requires help or keep informs of group activity if I need to monitor something. The Hud does allow IMs to pop up and your custom message gets shown, you will never see what they typed though but if you have sound and flashing turned off no problem. Hope all this helps.

    Covenant Update - What Changed?

    Just thought of something: if most vendors are CasperVend, and LL own that now, and LL will profit from CasperVend transactions - then LL is hurting itself by missing out on potential income, by not allowing vendors in the covenant! 

    There is no indicator said on that.

    subscribe omatic spam issue.

    Posted · Edited by Gem Oxygen

    What I find annoying is getting this spam  from just being IN a group, even when you have group notices off. I am like damn if you do and damn if you don't. I have even left groups just for this very reason some even still send you spam even if you do leave the group and you have to hunt down the owner and ask you be taken off the list. I have even bought something off MP, a one time purchase, nothing else they had interested me but magically I get a spam notice. I think what it is that they have their MP product linked up with their Casper venders for re-delivery reasons or sales tracking and use the update system through the venders. Here is what Casper Wiki says about that https://wiki.casperdns.com/index.php/Merchant_Tips   And this in his update feature page:

    "Just a friendly reminder that the "Updates" feature in CasperVend is NOT to be used for marketing.

    You may use it to send important information about products your customers have purchased. You may not use it to advertise new products, releases or other unrelated things.

    We will revoke access to this feature from those who abuse it.

    If you want to send marketing newsletters, then we (currently) recommend a stand-alone option"

     I don't know how many decent creators I have had to block, then forget I blocked them for their bot/vender/group spam if I decide to buy something else later. I know of a couple of creators have set it up you physically have to go into their store to hit a unsubscribe button to Opt-out, like really?! I never Opted-in,in the first place! I would love a  "So and so is trying to send you a update/anouncement-Do you want to opt out?" before being sent anything I did not purposely subscribe too, kinda like those experience permissions pop ups.

    How to AR an out of theme build?

    Karl, I can relate to your situation.

    I lived in a "dream location" next to a houseboat that had been converted into a nightclub/dancefloor. There was constant light encroachment into my area and it looked a horrible eyesore to me. I kept de-rendering his stuff (looked awful to me and totally out of theme). But just about every week he rebuilt it and had new stuff there, equally an eyesore to me.  The person who owned the parcel was a very nice person, but his builds were awful to live next door to. If he just built it once and left it, I would have just derendered it all and forgot it. But every week there were several new things to derender -- and it made the location feel unpleasant and stressful to me.

    I got to the point where I felt stressed to even think about TPing there. Even though it was a dream location at the foot of a lighthouse, it got to be someplace I dreaded going.

    So I gave up the spot and moved on to a different type of house.

    Advertising eavesdropping?

    I'm very confident putting my neck out and giving an emphatic "no" on this even being a possibility.

    To the broader point of online advertising in general, it is complex and data is assembled based on dozens (if not hundreds) of interactions with web services and apps. People are assembled into cohorts with statistically correlated interests. There is a high chance that all your interests and activities on the broader internet put you in a cohort of people that overlaps with those having a stated interested in UV printers.

    You are right, thanks for clarifying what was previous already stated. Thanks for your input😁

    When you listen to an online streaming station, they always get your IP address, which then gives them your general location.  It's all automated with their music software to customize ads to your area.  Not much you can do about this.  Clear cookies, and use a VPN from the Ukraine - at least the ads will be different.

     

    Yea, I get that, but it's not a issue for me persay. The radio ads are not that big of a deal to bother with VPN. I clear cookies about once a month as well as monthly PC health maintenance. Run two spyware programs, clean orphan files once a yr etc..

    More than likely you have some sort of spyware on your PC that picks up key logging, Facebook is notorious for that as well as other social networking. clear your cookies, do a spyware/malware cleaning on you computer, run a virus scan too.Get a adblocker also if you don't already have one. I notice that when I run radios here as sim music, if I don't clear out my cookies, I get radio ads for my local area so it's something on you Personal device.

    looking Affiliate vendors locations

    in Merchants

    Posted

     What you need to do is explore using the SL search for sims. Be sure you check the about land to see what the over all traffic is and how long it has been there. There is plenty of places that allows you a small prim rent to set up a mini shop. Be sure to gather the info on what you can or can't rezz down, make sure affiliate venders are allowed, some sim owners renting out a stall won't let you put down affiliate venders, they prefer you have your own created products there to insure the quality of products sold to it does not hurt their reputation,irritate other sellers.

    I'd like a blacklist

    in Merchants

    Posted

    I would love a creator shop blacklist also, I know how to use filters, and such but sooo many creators misuse the key words so I get listing for irrelevant or redundant items even in the same category. With a personal blacklist I can mark creators that have pages of pages of junk that nobody buys(Like mine..lol) outdated stuff, creators who put out 20 pages of same item but diff colour instead of learning how to make an use a colour changing hud, creators who have no product pics... etc. A option to no longer see selected shops would be nice even if you never use it.It can be done, each MP shop has a ID number.

    Friends list troubles

    in Make Friends

    Posted

    I have had the same issues for a few months now, adding  a new friend, then no matter how long I am in world, once I log out the next day poof, gone. not even a calling card. I have even posted this issue months ago. It seems to be linked to a region,  as I had two Linden homes, one I could log out of and nothing would happen. The other region if I added a new friend, poof the next day or even a few hours.Did not matter if they was offline or me offline or both online, if I logged out poof. It happened to one friend three times. poof off my list. This happens randomly though with no warning. I have to add new friends to my no contact list to make sure I can find them again if they poof off my actual list.

    Derender their clothes, snap a few pictures, then AR them for being naked at a General-rated InfoHub.

     

    Most mesh clothing you can derender have the naughty bits alphaed out so they fit the avatar, plus that is is a ahole dick move as it is even if they didn't.
