    Alts in the forums

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    I feel that there is more emphasis being put on the 'alts are bad', 'alts are deceptive', 'alts are sockpuppets or only used to increase reputation counts' than is warranted.  I don't think this type of bad behaviour from alts is something that we see all the time in the Forums.  I think it is pretty isolated.  I don't think that it happens enough for all the caveats or 'if you're going to use an alt then you must do...' requirements.  I also, for awhile, thought from what people were posting, that the only way for other accounts to be 'ok' would be if they outed themselves as an alt.  

    There's a lot of negative baggage I think, that goes along with the word 'alt'.  I tend to not think in terms of 'alts' but in terms of 'other accounts' which sometimes take the primary logging in time for awhile and have their own SL life and acquaintances.  I do disclose the other account to a few really good friends inworld, where we chat more as our RL self than our avis, so there is not any deception going on.  I wouldn't feel like I would need to do that necessarily in the Forums, though, because I generally don't participate in the big heavy discussion threads anymore.  Most of my sense of community feeling from the forums was during the first few years of this iteration of the forums, and it was mainly centered around avi picture and home threads, which have changed over the years with different people participating now, and a slightly changed focus,  these days.   I feel there is a lot more criticism, cynicism and judgementalism overall in the forums. 

    Sometimes people create a new account and a new SL life for it, and 'retire' their previous account.   In that case, I don't see any reason why the person behind the keyboard shouldn't stop using the retired account name in the forums, and instead start using their new account name, if that new account has become their defacto primary account, and what they want to share in the forums is their new account experiences, photos, and so forth.

    Alts in the forums

    Personally, I don't have any problems with alts posting in the forums.  I generally accept each account I see in the forums, or even inworld, as it's own account (unless specifically told otherwise by one of the accounts).  I don't spend time trying to figure out if someone might be an alt of another account, as I don't see any reason to do so.    

    Threads where someone brings in an alt to act as sockpuppet don't bother me too much either, as often those are threads I quickly give up interest in reading.

    What is there to do in SL?

    in General Discussion Forum

    If one likes trains, besides the SLRR, there is a group called "The Great Little Trains of SL" which regularly posts information about what could be considered the narrow gauge short lines of SL.  Zany Zen Railway is an example of one of them.  I enjoy going and riding on various short lines from time to time.  My experience with these has been that you show up at the station, and either a train is already there that you can hop on, or one shows up shortly that you can hop on.

    Doubts with land

    in Mainland

    There is a process for requesting abandoned land where you request it by size and location.  It will not be free, but is generally at a discounted rate of 1L$ per sqm. See the following knowledge base article for the specifics about how to do that:

    When I've followed the procedure outlined in the article, I've always had good luck about having a parcel of the size I requested carved out from a larger abandoned parcel.

    Question about mainland prices

    I would just like to know how much my monthly land cost would be if I lowered to Plus but kept the same amount of land.  I can't figure out a way to figure that out.  

    Log in to your dashboard (secondlife.com) and in the left navigation panel click "Land Manager -> Land Use Fees".  The bottom section of that page has a chart which shows the different tier levels and how much each tier level costs.

    Exactly.  But, also I am saving my lindens right now for something.  I will spend little bits here and there but mostly I'm saving for a large purchase so the lindens just sit there in the viewer.  I'd rather move the ones I'm saving into a wallet because I spend my lindens on SL.  I only cashed out once into fiat my entire SL.  But, those of us who may be saving for a large SL purchase it would be better to put them in a wallet than have them in the viewer.  And, what else I am saying is that storing our lindens offline in a wallet could deter anyone from wanting to pull this scam again or a different scam because the lindens are not in the viewers because my thinking is most (businesses anyways) may move their lindens into their wallet until they do want to cash out as each cash out has a fee.  But, I don't even want to cash out, I just want to save them until I do want to use them for SL purchases.  

    I don't know what would be different about a digital wallet for linden dollars than how LL is currently storing them.  They are not stored "in a viewer". 

    I definitely would not want to have to enter another password or look on another device for a code every time I want to spend linden dollars.

    I'm currently wearing exov skins from the Skinnery.  I also have skins from Amara Beauty, Nuve and Glam Affair.  Evox skins are popular, so you'll probably find them at most skin stores, and probably at events, as well.   Always be sure to try the demos before purchasing.

    I have the latest version of the LL SL viewer installed on both my desktop and my laptop.  I did not get any malware message from either malwarebytes or windows security.

    I'm assuming that you downloaded the viewer directly from the Secondlife website (or through the SL viewer's auto-update process)?  If not, I would definitely get rid of the version you have, and make sure to download it directly from the Secondlife website.

    @kavakelyr  You didn't indicate whether your place is on mainland, or on a private estate.  If you're  on a private estate, you can contact the region owner or estate manager to see if they will set a new estate level setting which prevents scripted agents.   This new estate setting is not available on mainland (though it has been set by LL for all of the Bellisseria Linden Home areas).
