[Why do we need a 'security system'?]

Ah I see, so they're not really walking across your lawn or looking down into your place. Most of them are just wanting to fly over homes to take short cuts perhaps?

I myself found the streets to be more my cup of tea...that way I can see all the lovely work that went into all the corners and such. Love the public relax spots and the public pool....or the spots by the beach to meet up with people if they so choose to leave their home. Wouldn't wanna miss all that by being way up in the sky. That's not for everyone I know. Each to their own ^^

If no one sees or hears you, then Governance will receive no ARs on which to act, obviously.   

However, if someone does happen to enter your parcel unexpectedly and surprises you, and then, equally obviously, they will be able to see you, and they may choose to file an AR.

Similar situation to First Life, when you come to think of it.

Actually in first life you are allowed to have sex in your back yard, on your patio or even with your blinds open as well as on your house boat.  Perhaps it comes down to what country you're in. But again as I stated I was just finding the humor in it....wasn't being serious about it what so ever. I get that some people see naked cartoons and freak out as if someone just tinkled in their cup of milk.

Anyways I have no intentions, since sexo in SL isn't my forte. I was just curious is all. Which brings me back to a previous question, why would people want to enter someone else's parcel without being invited?

I think, however, that if you read the interview with Patch to which I linked above, you will find the following exchange:

In other words,  sex al fresco is not permitted in Bellisseria, even with parcel visibility switched off.

I see, question though....if no one can see you and no one can hear you.....are you even having the cartoon sexo  ...... Sorry it's late for me! I just find humor in the smallest things around this time. 😛 

[Why do we need a 'security system'?]

The rules at Bellessarian are not really any different then going to any other Moderate sim. It's quite simple. To sum it up....If you want to roam around whether on land or water in the nude, that's fine...males keep your pixel junk in droopy mode, females keeps your bottom lips closed (this would be non sexual nudity). Granted some sim owners will tweak their version of how they want to run their moderate sim, which is okay they pay for it. Yet if you're wanting to have sex first go to About Land go to options and make sure you uncheck "Avatars on other parcels can see and chat with avatars on this parcel", then head over to sounds and place a check mark next to "Restrict gesture and sounds to this parcel". This way if you want to have pixel sex on top of your boat house, or patio and or outside on your OWN parcel no one can see you thus there's no rules being broken. If you wish to allow people to see you, then you must keep all adult activities inside your SL home. If someone cams in on you, they're at fault and have no grounds on reporting (damn those peeping Toms' & Sallys').

On a non-sexual topic just be friendly, polite and considerate. And remember to ask before doing. Common sense!

Also, people need to stop assuming just because someone doesn't want random people coming into their SL home at any given moment, or peer into their home to get a looksee at their avatar means they're ruining their experience in having "free roam". You are still able to walk around, visit the public places that were set up for the community, hence you still have "Free roam". We don't need to hear or see peoples conversations when they're not speaking to us and we really don't belong in strangers homes. That's how you get shot dont cha know   But seriously though, why would one even want to go into someones' home they didn't even know and then grip/moan when they're unable to. I'm actually curious about this. What is so bad with getting to know one another the proper way? It's starts with an IM saying "Hi, how are ya, wonderful weather we're having." Anyways that's how Spongebob did it  And if they don't want to let you in or talk with you that's perfectly fine....as human beings we weren't all meant to like one another.

Why is it so much fun clopping into someone elses house, sitting next to them? You don't do this in RL, so why lose all of your morals on SL?

This is why I turned my system on....so they're booted in 15seconds....I have no problems if someone IM's me saying "Hey neighbor, I'm stopping by to introduce myself. Do you mind if I come in?"....... More then not I'll be in the mood to have a chit chat and I'll turn my security off for the duration of the visit. But too many people abuse this. I logged in and had several people just running all through my home asking "When are you moving out." Over and over again. I don't mind silly trolls with humor...but annoying folks, I'll pass. You don't need to have access to someones' home when ever you want or to be able to see their avatar before you IM them if all you're doing is being friendly. That's just how I see it.

I think it's just for your feeling of POWER over other people passing through.

I think it's more or less so people just don't walk into your home. And sure they can cam in, but when you've your parcel set up a certain way people can only see your objects and not you. And trust me people do just walk in when you don't have one enabled. I'm all for being social...but because some people are impolite and do not IM you first to see if you're okay with company they do come in handy. As in real life, you would just start looking into people windows and or just walking into someones home you don't know just to say hi? Also if you're someone who enjoys being naked or engaging in sexual activities are encouraged to use them. You have to remember some people on here pretend to be children, and because they're pretending to be kids you have to treat them as they're some strangers child. Which would mean you need to keep your actions on your own lawn or within your home where they can't see. Also again some people just like privacy within their own SL home.

Question though: do Bellisseria lots forbid you from restricting sounds to your parcel? I know there isn't the full complement of options available but is that sound restriction one of them? 

They allow you to restrict sounds...I was just going through my settings and seen that they do...which also fixed my problem with hearing every ones noises.

Gave up 3 tonight?? What's YOUR secret! 😳 

For the record if you like the location but you don't like the noise you can mute whatever is generating the sound. Right-click > Mute (or something like that, using Firestorm viewer).

Yeah gave up 3 with in the last 8hrs. And instead of waiting 9 minutes to be able to refresh again I just log out of my account log back in and start over, not sure if it was helping or not, maybe I was just getting luck but unlucky with location. And thank you I actually forgot about the muting sounds thing.

I still can't believe I got my home without a refresher or even just manually refreshing.  I just thought,oh maybe I will have a look today and just got pure luck there was a region release at that exact moment.  I did the lottery that night too and didn't get lucky 

Congrats. Hopefully you landed a nice spot. I gave up 3 homes tonight because I wasn't happy with the area. Now I'm smack down in the middle of homes and all I hear are chickens, dogs and someone has wind chimes blasting -___- so I'll be tossing this one to the side as well soon.

Not sure if that was personal but I'll pretend it wasn't. I hope it wasn't (since I am the alt at present using an auto refresher).  

It wasn't personal....since I am as well using an auto refresher....lol and have a few alts popping them. Reason I called it a perk   But for myself, I don't live in the homes my alts get unless they're better then the location I am currently in. And even with my alts it's very seldom that I catch a lot soon enough before someone else snags it. But at this point, myself anyways, I wouldn't sit on more then one home. Not saying it's bad if others do or not though.. And I agree hands would would be hating us if we manually clicked.

Yikes see....I've been looking all night and nothing for me ....they literally go with in a half of a second after being available.  Guess that's when people have all of their alts running browser perks to refresh and such comes in handy.....

I know everyone needs to be patient and it comes when it comes. I´m happy for everyone that got one tho i have to say i´m getting a bit disheartened reading so many people were able to get multiple houses. I´ve been refreshing since the day they came out, everyday, for hours when i´m not at work or not asleep and i have seen exactly 0 houses coming along.  I´m almost ready to give up! Rant over thanks for listening haha! 

Just be patient....I know it sucks....it took me more then a few days to get my place (which I gave up because it was actually in a horrid location) ... as it stands right now the biggest frump I'd have about the whole thing is paying extra for your premium and reaping 0 benefits for the price increase. Which really sucks all on it's own. Makes you wonder why they didn't make enough for their members.I know people claim they were unaware how popular the new place would be but that is def not the case for many years now premiums have wanted new and better homes, it was a big reason why everyone was ditching their membership. So being aware is not the case here. Though I can say if you get into one of the new places, cross your fingers you're in a good spot, it's well worth the wait. I drove around and was like wow I really got a buns location in this place lmao and thought I'd try my luck for a better scenic zone. I will say Monday, Wednesdays & Fridays weee am's and late pm's are the best time to attempt to nab one given those are when I see them the more.

 

[When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?]

Note to self....if I land another home I won't give it up until there's more. Lol I got a home in a not so pretty spot....some neighbor had cows out and about...no one was ever around to be neighborly with....so I let it go...it was instantly grabbed  which is fine...I let it go for a reason...but being back on the hunt....sort of a rush...I think I like the lottery of it all mostly....

I have hundred of things to do in RL, but one of the things I plan is to make an outdoor shell for the walls and use another panel texture.

Maybe @Patch Lindencan say some about the covenant and its view on that. Or @Abnor Mole?

I am not one who cover the house in pink rubber texture, I am thinking about traditional panel in same style as the default ones.

But I also have a wicked idea about Halloween themed outdoor panel in distressed wood or flaky paint. Is that in theme?

That actually sounds like it would be really nice. Hope to see images ...and am looking forward to Halloween decor around ....it's my favorite holiday ^^

Because there are none of the new ones available right now.  All you can do is keep refreshing the page to see if one pops up.  Sometime this month or next there will be another large release of the new Camper/Trailer theme.  If you don't manager to nab one before then, that might give you a better chance.

Nothing about this has changed since you first started asking questions.  A new thread sure as heck isn't going to make any difference or change the answers any.

I don't blame you, and I completely understand why you wouldn't want their older homes....but LL didn't make enough new homes for their members. So you play the waiting game if you want a house.

Again I'm not sure why it's out of theme, did they mention no wind turbines? I've yet to get a new home, so I'm unaware of what is on the not to rez list. And I think all humans belong! ❤️

no it is not ok, and if it's against the covenant you don't have to blacklist it, but report it. Let LL deal with the nuisance.

I guess it comes down to how down to earth someone is....so each to their own. I'm just a kind person who doesn't dwell on really silly things. Can't say that for most though. Plus I'm pro wind turbines. I live in a upper class area in Cali and they're all over the place. They're used to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and create energy while wasting less. And they are found ALLLLL over coast lines, in fields, near oceans, in nice neighborhoods. So again I'm not sure how this is would be out of theme.

If i post to 31000 other posts i wont get noticed,, Im trying to make a point... maybe LL will see, like they have seen all others,, Im sure they are not reading 31000 posts either. If you think this rollout is going well, then, you have a home.. for the other 31000 paying premium members,, we are frustrated and it should not be this way. I dont really need positive encouragement,, Linden Labs,, create the homes and create a fair method for us to get them,, thats all im saying. 

LL didn't make enough homes for all their members. It's just how it is. But we all have to pay for the increased cost of premium. Just look at it as paying extra for something you can't use, see ect ect.

I don't know about out of theme...as in RL you don't knock on your neighbors door and tell them that their yard decor needs to be remove. Everyone has their own style and I'm okay with that. I guess just blacklist it if you don't like it...or just don't look up that high
