    Questions about account on hold

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    You voluntarily transferred L$ to an account that was not registered in your name, and now you have asked for that account to be put on hold.

    If LL takes any action it is likely to be punitive upon whatever account you used to request the account action, which has absolutely no justification, and which should be seen as abuse of the owner of that account.

    I have been using these forums for criminal purposes for years, according to numerous commentators possessing greater or lesser degrees of authority, which they are unable to apply in practice.

    This discussion holds little personal interest, as I have a man to do this sort of thing for me.

    I do, however, insists that he folds rather than scrunches, which approach I believe less sophisticated individuals are habituated to employ..

    There seem to be a growing number of threads in this forum which only have two posts, one asking a question and the next one, from the same person, saying not to bother to respond. Does anybody know why this is happening?

    Is this the first recorded instance of a question being posed in Answers and then being moved to a forum?

    If that transfer is possible, then surely it should be feasible to move all the questions inappropriately posed in forums such as General Discussions to Answers!

    The past few days everytime I click home SL crashes. If I click the LM for my home it works fine but clicking the home button crashes. Has anyone else expierienced this issue?

    I believe that numerous others have reported the problem over in the Answers forum, and had it resolved extremely promptly.

    graphics are too slow after win10

    I got a used laptop, Asus i7, Nvidia Geforce gt 550m, went from win7 to 10. All seemed good with SL.  Nvidia updated, and added Nvidia Experience.  Things seemed slow and different.  Not better.  Then I got a 10 update that took away my start button and any connetivity to the internet.  I rolled back the update and things went back the way they were.  Took the update again, and the same thing happened.  I went back to factory settings, and SL is way too slow, teleportation fails often.  I don't move when I try or stop when I want.  All this with the latested Firestorm.  Tried earlier versions of that and Singularity.  Low graphic settings help but it isn't worth being on like this. 
    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Yes. Post your question in the Technical Forum rather than cluttering up this General Discussions one.

    names left for everyone else. Minus the 50 or so something million used already

    so probably run out by about lunchtime I think

    q; (:

    +

    more serious tho

    some more thoughts

    when most people say that all names are taken then what they usually mean is all common english firstnames

    Sophia, Jack, Sam, Hannah, Mary, Thomas, etc

    even when we had lastnames the common firstnames (in all human languages) were snapped up pretty quickly each time new lastnames were added to the list

    +

     

    also I just add on some tldr about what if

     

    i still dont get why a single space char cant be included in a new SL name. Is no technical reason that I can see. A space is just a char

    is pretty trivial to make a signup validation rule for this. like for example:

    1) there can only be 1 space (to be consistent with the old naming rule)

    2) the space cant be in the first or last position (to avoid display confusion. leading/trailing spaces can be hard to spot)

    3) there must be at least 2 contiguous non-space chars before and after a space (to be consistent with the old naming rule)

    4) therefore a space when included must be in the 1s-based range [3..length(name)-2]

    5) that names minus the space must be unique when case is applied (to avoid display confusion. eg. "mr smith" "mrs mith")

    6) therefore examples: (case applied)

    " maryjean", "m aryjean", "maryjea n", "maryjean " = invalid 

    "ma ryjean", "mar yjean", "mary jean", "maryj ean", "maryje an" = maryjean (resolve to)

    typically a person would choose "Mary Jean" or maybe "Mr Smith" or maybe even "Witch Evah" "like yanno" (:

    the inclusion of the space dont actual change the number of available names with this kinda resolution/validation rule applied. And it avoids display confusion

    +

    also as well. if/when have this kinda rule then it can be applied retrospective to all .Resident names for those who want it

    a "Space My Name One Time" app can be written for inclusion on the account page for existing names. We get one go at it and thats it. The app disappears off our account page for existing .resident accounts once used. And never appears for old style names (bc they already got a lastname not resident). Or for new accounts bc they already had a choice on signup

    would make lots of existing people pretty happy this I think

    basically what this rule does is that if I am already "MaryJean Resident" then nobody can snaffle "Mary Jean" off me in any changeover

    +

    is a issue with some of the older scripted inworld objects that might be impacted adversely by this. Which could mean breakage of existing content

    however I think this could be resolved by changing the way the names are served up to the inworld script. example:

    pos = (space in firstname);

    if (pos && lastname == "resident")

    { 

       return to script ( (firstname = (firstname, 1, pos-1); lastname = (firstname, pos+1, length(firstname)) );

    };

    a alternative to this (and the way I would do it for efficiency) is to add datafields to the account record, and just return those

    a flag field [0] to denote a no space name (which also flag the old style names)

    a [1] to denote a space name. With the spacenames added to the record

    so something like

    [0] [Mary] [smith]

    [0] [MaryJean] [Resident]

    [1] [MaryBrown] [Resident] [Mary] [brown]

     

    if (flag)

      { return to script [Mary] [brown] };

    else

      { return to script [MaryJean] [Resident]; [Mary] [smith] };

    +

    ok next

    this might break existing scripts tho where a name like "MaryBrown Resident" is hardcoded in the script itself

     

    so if this is a issue (and given LL aversion to breaking existing content which relies on existing documentation which the name.resident does rely on) then

    a alternative for new scripts is a new LSL function: llGetNewName(). which dont break the older scripts

    llGetName = "Mary Smith"

    llGetNewName = "Mary Smith"

    llGetName = "MaryJean Resident"

    llGetNewName = "MaryJean Resident"

    llGetName = "MaryBrown Resident"

    llGetNewName = "Mary Brown"

     

    in the LL viewer then:

    Mary Smith

    MaryJean

    Mary Brown

    You could always just use it to ask questions in General Discussions that you should be asking in the Answers forum, and eventually you might get banned, which would achieve your aim.

    If you're extremely persuasive, you can suggest they take their clothes off and put them back on again a few times to force them to rez.
