  1. The team at Second Life is dedicated to ensuring you have a safe and fun experience while exploring all that Second Life offers. You will come across many opportunities offered by other users in a virtual world, but not every offer is genuine. The allure of free Linden Dollars, or land for example, can be a tempting one, but as the saying goes: if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We wanted to take some time today and caution our Residents to be mindful of unsolicited messages that include links asking you to log in or download something from an unknown source. A few months back, we made a post about how to protect yourself from phishing scams: How to Keep Your Account Safe from Phishing Scams. Our friend, Inara Pey, has recently published a blog which illustrates the need to be very careful when receiving an unsolicited link coming from someone you don't know: https://modemworld.me/2023/11/06/dissecting-the-free-l-viewer-scam-chaser-zaks/ It is important to remember that downloading software from unknown sources has a very real risk associated with it. You could unintentionally allow someone to monitor your keystrokes or even gain complete control over your computer. It has the potential to expose not just your Second Life password, but all other important information you have on your computer. We want to remind our Residents about best practices for account and computer safety. Be wary of suspicious links or attachments sent by other users. These may be attempts to compromise your account or computer. Use strong, unique passwords for your Second Life account and enable multi-factor authentication. Keep your viewer and operating system up to date to benefit from the latest security patches and improvements. Only download and install the official Second Life viewer, or an approved Third-Party viewer directly from the links provided by our site. We hope that everyone continues to enjoy Second Life, and look forward to our continued safe, and secure explorations together.
  2. You can absoluately message me, but there are limitations to what I am able to both say and do. If you message me to let me know you feel like an Abuse Report hasn't been reviewed (I don't like to use the word answered, because that gives the impression the team will reach out to you about it, that isn't going to happen). I am always happy to check in with my team on the status of a report, but I can't share that information with you. This doesn't suddenly bump your report up in priority though, it just means I checked on it. If you message me to tell me you are experiencing an issue, I am going to let you know you need to file an Abuse Report.
  3. I thought you were bringing the snacks? This isn't gonna be good if we end up with a bunch of hangry lindens!
  4. Is this where I am supposed to be? Hi!
  5. I am sure it is no surprise that this thread is being closed. I was hoping to leave it open since it was directing the original poster on solutions in how to address access concerns to their region/parcel, but this has clearly gone in another direction. If you have a personal dispute with someone, you can discuss it privately, but all of you know the rules regarding the forums.
  6. While I do not work on the marketplace development team, I wanted to let you all know at the very least that we have been passing along all of the feedback, and the marketplace team has just posted this blog with an update. Before anyone asks, I do not have any additional information beyond what has been shared in the blog post, I just wanted to share it to ensure all of you saw it.
  7. I would like to take a moment and remind everyone that taking personal jabs at other members of the community, including Lindens, is not appropriate. If you can not participate in the conversation in a manner that is both on topic, and constructive rather than just finger pointing and personal attacks, then I would encourage you to take a step back for a bit.
  8. We actually just made a blog post about this to update everyone, go check it out!
  9. You can absoluately ask for more considerations but the best place would be to submit a feature request through jira since I know the team that works on marketplace goes through those on a regular basis.
  10. Unfortunately I don't have all the answers that you are seeking at this time. I can say we did make some changes to search as we announced in our blog post, so the changes in how search functions, are intended, which can be read here: However in addition, we have been collecting feedback via Support tickets and JIRAs that have been submitted, and of course the forum posts. I know we have fixed some bugs along the way, such as the subscriptions being mentioned in this thread, though it sounds like there might still be some issues with that, which I will make sure its looked at. Jasmina Weezles if you haven't already, please make sure you send in a support ticket, it is much appreciated.
  11. I mentioned this in another thread, but I just noticed this thread as well. This should be fixed, if you are still having this problem with your ads not showing up, please update your ticket so the agent working it is aware. We will get this resolved.
  12. Hey, I am being advised this is actually fixed at this time. Can you check over your listings again and if for some reason it still is not working for you, please submit a support ticket and a member of the team will take a look. If you already have a ticket in regarding this matter, feel free to DM the ticket number to me here on the forums and I will make sure it gets looked at.
  13. Hey Everyone, I am sure it comes as no surprise to see me commenting in this thread. As you are all aware, there have been multiple other threads closed on the topic of a very specific group of bots. We are not trying to prevent you from discussing the bot policy in general, which is why we chose to leave this thread open for discussion. As we previously mentioned, all of the information that is currently being displayed on a third party website, is all accessible via lsl script call, and is considered to be public information. I understand there are some of you that don't agree with that decision, but at this time that information is considered public. I will however say that information such as your real name, your email address, etc. that are considered to be Personal Identifying Information (PII) is not made public, and we would never make that information public. If however you put that type of public information in your profile, that is a choice that you are making. I would also like to note, that there seems to be a lot of speculation about what gets actioned vs. what doesn't, and that I can understand why it seems we are enforcing the rules on the forum more strictly than we do in world. A locking of a thread, is quite visible, the suspension of an account is far less visible (and before anyone asks, no, we won't be sharing when we suspend another Residents account), just something to think about. So if you can not keep it on topic, we will close this thread as well. I don't want to do that though, and would much rather see the conversation continue, as I am following along.
  14. Gifts? For me? I mean, I like coffee, and ramen, not together at the same time though.
  15. Unfortunately we have been advised by Invision this is not something that can currently be disabled entirely, but that they are working on that feature to be added to their next release. When/if that time comes, I will discuss with those in charge to see if this is a feature we want to keep running or not. In the mean time, it seems like someone found a work around that allows you to at least condense the image previews and that seems to be a good solution to me.
