it's all or nothing. Please, don't post incorrect information, it only adds to the issues. If a renter is granted EM rights to a sim, it's FULL EM rights, not a pick'n'mix sweet assortment.

oh, there's no hostility, or your questions ignored/distorted. If you feel that you've misunderstood (or triggered by being corrected) your posting of incorrect information, including claiming to be able to scan for HUD attachments, which simply isn't possible, as opposed to my preferring to post correct information, then that's your choice of course. I just prefer to see users provided with correct information.

There's no confusion. My answers are prompted by things I have tested, and please feel free to test these things yourself. Just for the sake of clarity: I rent a homestead, I have Estate manager rights, I was able to toggle no-bots on/off via the LL viewer despite the Estate owner setting it globally, it applied to my homestead only, I had a friend with a registered bot (a store bot) test this out for me, so that I could provide correct information to users. It saves on posting incorrect information, including claiming you can scan for HUD attachments which simply isn't possible. Please, feel free to test this yourself, and correct me if I'm wrong.

The setting is estate wide, but as stated, can be over ridden by a person who has EM rights on a sim that they rent. Equally that person with EM rights can whitelist a "bot" at the estate level regardless of setting (and yes, I've tested this xD). I love correct information, as it gives users an honest and correct set of info to make their own choices with.

That's of no worry to me since I've posted correct information to hopefully try and reassure anybody who saw your incorrect information including your claim to be able to scan for HUD attachments.

In the new scripted agents policy.

But I *am* correct. if you feel you need somebody to confirm this, then that's up to you. Personally, I just don't like to see incorrect information (including claiming to be able to scan for HUD attachments, which is blatantly incorrect) to be posted. That only serves to confuse people, or "trigger" certain kinds of people. Having the correct information allows people to make educated, informed, statements, and helps most users.

But you are still posting incorrect information, whereas I chose to post correct information. That is what causes people to react. The whole bot situation is giving some people (not me personally) issues, so by giving correct information, it helps to ease these concerns.

We don't need clarification. I rent a homestead from an estate company, and I have EM rights on it. The Estate Owner said they'd enabled nobots everywhere, but i chose to test it via the LL viewer, and i was able to turn it on/off on my HS, but not on any other. This is how I, factually, know this. I also saw you'd been posting incorrect information (including claiming to be able to scan for HUD attachments, which is simply not possible). I chose to answer so that other users are getting correct information.

Actually you don't get what I'm talking about. If you rent a full sim/homestead, you'd get Estate Manager access (some term that region owner) so you'd be able to set no bots on/off yourself, via the region control settings yourself - regardless of how the Estate Owner sets it you could even whitelist your own bots - for that sim only.

It's been that way for years. Try it yourself and see.

An estate owner, when granting EM rights to a renter, get a prompt saying "this region or all" (or something like it), so no, they don't. The renter get EM rights only to the sim they rent.

You're not, you're just posting incorrect information.

it's not. A user who rents a full sim/homestead from an estate company has Estate Manager rights, and can set nobots on/off regardless - on that sim they have EM rights on.

no, it doesn't. an individual renting a full sim/homestead from a real estate company would have Estate Manager rights,m so could turn on/off deny bots regardless of what the estate owner did.

you can't actually scan for HUD attachments. I smell animal fertilizer.

Not to (intentionally anyway) contradict you but I doubt LL have ever needed to run bots to gather data, they have accounts called testers. The box avi is in the library folders for anyone to use.

*Sticks hand up*😁

a region owner can use "deny-bots" but whitelist their own bots at the estate level. so, it's win-win for the estate owner(s) and the tenants.

No thanks, I prefer the real act. With my RL partner. Far more enjoyable.

*resists the urge to make a post referring this thread to that apt comment ^^*

That's exactly what I have been doing Doing something as opposed to posting complaining threads and doing nothing 🙂

I'm up to 104 abuse reports so far.

All I see is an ongoing whine by certain bot operators, who's profiles do not identify their bots. Do their bots identify who controls them, what they are up to? naming no names ref "naming and shaming". Personally, I'm mega happy that my landlord has turned on "no bots" on all their sims. About an hour ago I was up to 56 bots abuse reported, 42 of whom are no longer in search. And I'll continue to report any suspect avatars, including those who "want to map ban lines and orbs".

i know full well the Dutch cookie jars
