Since, despite repeated requests to start a new thread if they want to talk about child avatars, people are using it to talk about little else. we're closing it.

I've removed the screenshot because it was possible to read the name of the avatar complained about, despite the attempt to redact it, and also because of some of the quoted language used. The person receiving these messages needs to submit an Abuse Report for harassment -- Governance need to receive the report from them, not from a third party. I think the friend receiving these messages should also consider contacting RL law enforcement. I'm now locking the thread because these forums are not the place to discuss abusive behaviour by other residents. That needs to be handled by an abuse report.

Ingrid must have hit the submit button just after I sent the post immediately above this. But any further discussion of this particular issue should take place in a new thread.

Please folks, I think the topic of what the current rules are about child avatars and adult content have now been explored sufficiently exhaustively in this thread. If anyone wants to open a new thread discussing what they think the new rules about child avatars announced in Lab Gab might or should be, then please go ahead, but from now on please restrict replies in this thread to the many other topics raised in the broadcast https://modemworld.me/2024/04/19/lab-gab-april-2024-update-mobile-mirrors-policies-summary/

I shudder to think what will happen if and when new rules on child avatars are announced -- probably everyone will start talking about the mobile viewer, mirrors, 2k textures and so on. In the meantime, please try to keep the thread on-topic for the issues raised in the actual Lab Gab rather than speculation about what LL may announce at some future time.

The first person to collect enough flowers to win the Boopie managed it in just under an hour (admittedly that was just after the event started, so there weren't many people about). There should always be 20 to 30 flowers rezzed on each region -- they are replaced almost as soon as they are collected or they derez. Good luck, anyway!

There's nothing wrong with the region -- I've just checked and teleported to your house. If you're still having problems, I suggest you contact support. Though you might want to try rebooting your router first -- that fixes a whole load of issues in my experience, and it might work in this case too. Can't hurt, anyway.

Have you encountered this recently, Prok? Our update of March 7 was supposed to fix this, and it did, as far as I know. At least if it hasn't, this is the first I've heard (and when anything scripted goes wrong on Bellisseria, I normally hear about it pretty quickly). We can tell when the house controllers have successfully configured themselves by checking their description fields (visible to estate managers with Region Objects) and when our QA team checked the regions after the update everything seemed to be in order. If you noticed this issue after March 7th, please, if you can,let me know where and when it happened.

I've had to prune rather a lot of posts to bring the thread back to its original topic -- Resiliency in SL. Please try to keep things on track.

Can we please stick to the topic -- the bots said to be following the OP about -- and not get sidetracked into critiquing people's writing style?

If a post is reported, that guarantees one of us will read it. Additionally, we browse the forums out of interest, and also keep a proactive eye on threads that look as if they may require attention, whether because of the topic or because they're unusually active. Other Lindens and Moles read the forums, too, when they have the time and the inclination, but there's obviously no guarantee anyone will see a particular post, which is why posting about something in the forums really isn't the best way to get anyone to do anything about it. That's what support tickets, abuse reports, user groups and Canny are for.

Please send me the slurl for the Linden Homes parcel via a private message and I'll make sure it's investigated. If you've filed an abuse report, you've done all you can. I suggest you block the object that's sending you these messages, and let Governance deal with it. Since I don't think there's anything that can usefully be added to the thread, I'm locking it before it becomes a pile on. ETA You should have received an acknowledgment of your report by email.

It's not. But it may mean that you find the LI you have been using will fall, so you might have a bit more spare LI than you did last week.

I know that adding a sound environment to the very early regions is certainly on the agenda, though there's no date for it, nor any guarantee that it'll happen. There's a whole load of fixes and updates we want to do, but it's a matter of when, and in what order, to do them, and no decisions have yet been taken. More than that I can't say. So... not in the immediate future but perhaps sort of soon-ish... maybe?

If you're satisfied with how your home -- Linden or otherwise -- looks at the moment with PBR with LL's standard EEP settings (try the Official Viewer if your current third-party viewer isn't yet PBR-capable) then you won't need any probes. There shouldn't be a huge difference in how things look. You can certainly use both PBR and local lighting to enhance the way your home looks, but we worked with Engineering to try to ensure people won't get any nasty surprises the first time they see their Linden Home with PBR.

We recently had to close a thread about Oberwolf Linden's recent announcement and the allegations to which it was a response. Oberwolf promised another update in due course. When that update appears, people will, of course, be welcome to discuss it, but until then please refrain from trying to re-open the discussion.

We had to lock a recent thread about Oberwolf Linden's post. The Linden Lab Official:Forum Participation Guidelines include Oberwolf's post tells us we may expect further announcements in due course. When those are available, people will be very welcome to discuss them. But until then, please refrain from opening new threads on the topic.

Patch? The Announcer Guy is one of Abnor's many creations.

Folks, this thread has needed yet another clean-up -- the third since it started. Enough is enough. If people can't stop mudslinging and trying to harass other residents, the thread will be locked.

The topic of the thread is Brad's announcement, not the article that prompted it.

Please don't discuss, or even allude to, the details of the allegations in the article/blog post, particularly since Brad says

I've just removed several posts discussing games like GTA and gun control in the US. For the avoidance of doubt, gun control and violence in computer games are not on topic for this thread,

Please refrain from discussing anyone said to have been named (or their supposed alts) in the blog post/article.

I fear this thread has gone so far off the rails there's little hope of dragging it back, particularly since so many posts have gone missing, so I'm locking it.
