Hi everyone, after many years I have switched back to SL viewer and in Firestorm there was an option not to automatically open received textures. Can anyone point me to where this option is in SL viewer please?

I started receiving this error message when i try to rez on my mainland parcel. I can build a prim box but if i take it into inventory and try to rez it I get that message. I can't rez anything. "Unable to create item that has caused problems on this region." It's not a very busy sim and I googled and found an old post saying that it can be fixed with a reboot. I was wondering if anyone knows what causes this and how do I request a sim reboot please?

If you read my post, mine isnt going down hill, i am here for a hobby.... How many businesses do you run rl or sl to be giving such deep and insightful advice...whatever.

Beautiful, thanks for the economics lesson.... and the show of empathy requested. Must be hard being a wank all the time is it?

I try my luck for the rares and if I get it, which is quite often, I then go to MP to buy the commons. Everyone had their own system. And the quality of gacha was awesome from the most of the popular creators.

When you have 10 hours spare i will chat to you about it... you will get bored after 10 minutes, so just trust the people who have lived experience. Some of the biggest sellers such as DRD, Bamse, Dust Bunny just to name a few can vouch.

But everyone gets a prize with gacha also... generally a $50 value prize for a $50 investment. If you're lucky, you get something worth $100, $200 or even $1000.

I think the thing we need to focus on is the loss of income for many people that will directly effect their real life situations. I have been a gacha seller for 5 years and fortunately, despite a major investment, it has been more of a hobby rather than something that places food on my table. But there are creators and resellers who will be hit hard in an already tough COVID financial market. I just think if you didn't like gacha, that's your prerogative, but I would hope that people can be sensitive to the fact that to pull a business with just a month's notice is going to devastate some people and if you're only on here to talk about the perils of gambling, perhaps save it for another day. Gacha is going, breedables and the likes will need to follow because they are also an activity where investment is required and the outcome/ returns are based on chance. Sign of the times, where again we are policed to a degree because the minority who have a problem make it a problem for everyone else. I do also want to take this opportunity to thank every creator who worked to make it such an exciting activity that created a tight knit community for me. I also want to thank the people who have supported my business for the past 5 years and I will remain open for business with a gacha yard and MP store because I would estimate I have about 30 years worth of listing to do to get through my huge gacha inventory. Take care everyone.

Umm, that's kinda exactly the point of it... you CAN get what you want ina single spin if you're lucky... it's not delusion... it's called odds and it can happen.

Alwin if you have 10 hours to sit and discuss the matter in depth, there is a load of data and evidence. It's easy for you to refute someone in a few sentences on a forum about something you clearly have no knowledge about. Why would she make it up?

MASSIVE

What would be the point? If there is just the same item but different colours all of the same value you would just set up a vendor.

Its happeneing again - just a few hours ago

Started a new inworld group if anyone would like to join. IM me inworld for the name.

I can't make the meeting, but these are my suggestions if someone from LL reads this, or if someone wants to share at the meeting. A separate Insurance program should be in place for sellers who sell transfer/ no copy items. This could be in the way of; 1) A small percentage of commission from all MP transferable item sales be set aside to set up an insurance fund for people who lose an item through fraudulent activity. I think with the hike in commission rates, this should already be included for no extra cost at this time. 2) An option at the time of selling where the seller can select the option if they wish to purchase insurance for a small fee. This option allows us not to worry about smaller priced items, but allows us the option to cover rare items and full sets if we choose. The current climate for resellers has highlighted just how unsafe our investment is. If LL provide the platform, and can't guarantee security, then they could at least provide an option of insurance to avoid sellers having to take listings down or lose money/ items. Some sellers were hit harder than others, and while i personally could endure this hit, I do not believe the current system is fair. Thanks for your consideration connor

If nothing else, it has brought the gacha reseller community together. It's been nice getting to know everyone. You guys aren't so bad after all!!! 😂🤣🤣

Ok good luck... hopefully you will get good news soon.

It took time for them to reply, maybe two days. I was just asking for any commission fees to be returned to me. They first said no, I was not owed them and explained about why i lost the money and items. Then later automatically sent the second email. I think they will deal with each case as they can.

Unlist and they will.... the commissions they're losing is greater than the money we lost

I got the no refund email first and then later the reassessment one

Has anyone else had the money returned to them by LL? Hello connorboy26, I have created this case to reach out to you regarding some recent Linden Dollar assessments from your account. After conducting a secondary review, we have reversed the assessments of L$5490, L$2880, L$10980, and L$8010 (total of L$27,360) on and between the dates of 1/27/2020 - 2/1/2020 from your account. This should now be reflected in your Linden Dollar balance. We apologize for any frustration and inconvenience this may have caused, and are working on improving this process to reduce the negative impact on our Residents. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Im sorry to hear this has happened to you also. I think it may spell the end of gacha resale.

Not in this recent occurrence, but a couple of years ago yes. I only lost one item but it was major. It was returned several months after it was taken. I dont think they were specifically hunting for my items but they must have tracked them down as part of their investigation. I never lodged a ticket. I really don't know any details or if it was the same sort of scam... but it was the fraudulent use of an account. It could have been a bitter ex for all I know, so easier to track. But I did get my items returned.

I have had my items returned on a previous occasion so there is hope...... I hope lol

What's your thoughts on LL wearing the loss rather than the sellers? Would you support an insurance premium built into sales commissions?
