  1. yes, she was lovely and removed it, and gave me her rare gatcha
  2. I don't have a group. The person who used my item as a part of their rezzer box uses a script to join their group. I only sell full perm, which are meant for people to use in their builds but now they also used this OnRezzwelcome script. So, I don't think I can do anything about it, except wait for the hype of this event to die down. I can't mute every free gift box, I don't think anyway. I'm at the event now, but I think it will be useless even to find the source of it. Unless I IM the creator and ask for her to remove it from my item that she put the script into
  3. The cardboard box bot is an SL avatar. I removed my previous avatar and put this on. It isn't mesh. I have contacted one of the decliners and she was very helpful. The is an event called Gimme Gatcha, which was also one of the locations I tped to, and it was packed with people. She got an item as a free gift and got the group invite when she opened it. I asked her to look for any flowers, as I sell full perm flowers. She did find a flower in the item and it is fmade by my competitor, not me. Edit: Ok sorry, this person is helping me, and has found something that might be mine, not the competitor. So many people are receiving this gift, hence the spam So someone has used my full perm flower like this " the rezz box itself is a table with plant, a picture of the gift and then the MP link, and the plant on it is made by you, on the pot of it has a script called OnRezZwelcome"
  4. It follows me. I'm at a different sim (my mainland instead of my private sim) and it still happens. Only to me as my alt is at my private island and gets no spam. this just now [17:42] (Unnamed): Declined group invitation --> xxxxxx Resident. This is what I am wearing. Could it be LSL Bridge from Firestorm? Also when I right click on (Unnamed) it shows the location of the person declining the invitation. I tped and saw one person that I had blocked because I thought it was her, and it seems to be random people, one with no active profile, meaning no picture so I assume not active.
  5. Thanks, I think that worked. I detached everything and not getting it anymore. It must be something I was wearing. Came back this morning to about 6 more spam messages after taking off everything, and it still happens. It follows me. See post below for more

  7. When LL have a clean slate like in Sansar, then they act on some of these issues. For example, you can't list over 50 items without incurring a monthly fee of $10, so this helps because most people won't pay $10 if they don't care about their listings or if it's not selling and dead. No need for them to log in if they're paying for it. So, do we want that? Not sure Also, in Sansar they have customer self-redelivery .

LL have become a lot more efficient in acting on DMCA reports. It now takes between 2 to 4 days for items to be removed from the MP.
  9. Tara, I'm sorry, you meant avoid stores that set price limits. I just saw the words 'ignore' and 'EULA' in the same sentence, and it hit a nerve. This post is not meant only for you, Tara. But for anyone who might not understand, please consider this scenario. Imagine you spend several weeks creating an item, and you finish it with pride. Your item is high quality and, in your opinion, worth at least L$350. You set a price of L$350, and make it full perm so that others can use it in their creations. A few weeks later your high quality item shows up selling for L$10 (with minimal change) near the top of its search category. A few weeks more, several other sellers are offering your item at L$10 to L$20 - not hard to find as they are all high in search. So, the item that you spent so much time creating, and that you were so proud of, and that you value at L$350, is now becoming established in the marketplace at the price of L$10, and it is being snapped up. This is not even mentioning those who give it away free to attract customers to their store. This happens!! After a period of time the sale of your full perm item starts to decrease. And this makes sense because why would merchants want to use it in their creations when their customers can buy it themselves for L$10? Items selling for L$10 with a high sales rate tend to become common very quickly, hence trashy. For the record, I'm not a merchant. My rl partner sells full perm items, so I don't need to do research. We know first hand. We never had price limits until this started happening over and over again. The price limits fixed the problem almost completely. We are not too concerned about inworld stores as sales tend to be slower there, but we still get reports from customers and check it out. In our situation, price limits stopped a situation we found undesirable. We had a problem, we needed a solution, and this worked for us. We don't care about theory or practice or research or anyone else's experiences - only interested in ours. However, this post might provide some insight into why full perm merchants price fix.
  10. Tari Landar wrote: If the "pricing rules" aren't legal to begin with There seems to be different views on this. When it comes to digital copies the rules might be different. I really don't know, but I suspect you don't know either. What I don't understand is why you would buy and profit from someone else's hard work, and stick your finger up to their rules. As for the rest of your post, I can't follow your logic.
  11. Amethyst Jetaime wrote: .......there is no way for the creator to enforce it. If people bought full perm items with intentions of ignoring the pricing rules because 'the creator cannot enforce it' then this is maliciously acting to destroy the business. The rules are there to protect the business. Oh, this would be so unfair. As an act of decency you would respect the rules.
  12. From that link '.....Some argue that the manufacturer may do this because it wishes to keep resellers profitable, thus keeping the manufacturer profitable' I thought about this and to me it sounds like a valid argument. Here's how I see it relating to SL. If buyers of full perm items were to resell at very low or give away prices couldn't that lead to flooding SL with the items, and thus making the items so common they become worthless? I think full perm sellers take a huge risk, and therefore should be able to state rules to protect their products, and thus their profits. They don't have the protection that comes with copy or transfer only items. To the OP, why don't you just not buy these items if the rules annoy you. If you can take the time to create it yourself (usually a lot of time) then you will be free of all the rules
  13. This is another angle so yes it is fixed. My friend sees the wings as perfect. so maybe it's a client side problem, by which I mean something with my graphics or some setting. I could use alpha masking and all works fine but then my wings aren't slightly transparent. I'm thinking it's just my problem, something local, and others can see the wings just fine with materials and transparency. I have had the issue before so it isn't just the wings, but always with materials and alpha combination. So I was wondering if it is a known issue or just me - starting to think it's just me.
  14. I'm using normals bumpiness, but it seems that even just the shininess alone will cause it, or just the normal without specular - same issue. My wings are double sided planes that look like this image
  15. When I use Bumpiness and Shininess with alpha blending it has this problem - see image. When I use None or Alpha Masking there's no issue, but I want wings to be slightly transparent and with materials. The issue is also there if if I use any transparency setting. I'm using Firestorm, but I want to know if this is a known issue with materials and transparency or is it just me.
  16. The avatars are not very attractive. Yes, they might be bad imitations of ordinary people but I don't think many newbies want to look ordinary. They'd be very hard to fall in love with. Some of the men look scary. One has a very bad wig and looks a bit psycho. One looks like a drug addict. Another like a criminal and not a sexy one. The skin pops out of clothes in places. That's the most annoying thing about mesh. Anyway, we don't want them to be too good because they are free. Creators want to do better than the default - and LL has made that easy to achieve

If someone is going to share the model after buying, does it matter if they do that by sending the password rather than emailing the model or uploading the model to the same file sharing site and giving out the link and password to their version of it? This is true. People will share it anyway if they choose to. I'm going to use a file hosting site with a link on a notecard. The models will be basic and inexpensive so it won't matter so much. Thanks everyone
  18. OK, so in other words you don't know. Thanks for responding anyway. But as for your last sentence, I think I am capable of weighing up that risk myself. It really isn't too much different from selling a sculpt map. As for turbosquid, good luck to them. And my purpose wasn't to teach people. now move along
  19. I'd like to sell simple affordable .dae files mainly to help creators who are starting out learning mesh, and to give them an opportunity to change it to suit their needs and upload it in their own name like with sculpt maps. I think there is a market for this. But I deviate, back to my question - I know that there are file hosting sites that require a password, but couldn't that password then be used by anyone who gets hold of it? I'd appreciate any advice on how to go about this. Would I have to change the password whenever something sells. I don't know how it works.

So very many problems solved. Just try it for a few months. Second Life is infinitely more enoyable when one simply pretends Marketplace doesn't exist. so obviously you're not enjoying the flow of big bucks from the MP like many others.
  21. 20,000 USD is a very high threshold. Especially considering that people could be earning RL money on top of that. I think people would be getting off very easy if they could earn $20,000 and remain anonymous in SL. So I would say that LL got it wrong with the 20K threshold and this needs to be amended. Anyone earning money and cashing out should be required to show proof of ID, regardless of the amount because all income is tax assessable.
  22. payment information on file like paypal or credit card. May also help just to use your payment info like buy lindens
  23. Thank you for the response. I would guess that there would be many people using the non materials viewers since the Firestorm materials viewer is still in beta, so it's a nuisance Is it just me or does the alpha sorting glitch affect mesh items more than sculpties and standard prims? Most of the old plants (and hair) used alpha textures and they were OK, except when you had another alpha texture near them like a window. I see the alpha sorting glitch a lot more with some mesh items like my plant, which is just unusable with alpha blending. I don't remember standard prims or sculptie plants ever being unusable because of the glitch.
  24. I would test it except that I'd need to install a standard viewer, like firestorm.
  25. Yes, I'm not really sure it relates to materials, except that the alpha mode options (blending, masking or emissive) came out with materials viewer. So I don't know if people who have standard viewers can see the alpha mode you set for the texture.
