    So, no matter how obvious it is, that they are on an alt, they are not trustworthy?

     

    The reason why people got so heavly into discussing your reasons for wanting to block everyone without PIOF is, that there are basically two main options of it: a) desperate attempt to stop stalking/harassement or b) huge snob with lots of prejudice. The second option rubs people the wrong way and...is sadly not less likely than the first.

    Others have said it already: Its not possible to do that, but I would say you should really consider if the benefit would be worth it for you. You would cut out a huge portion of SLs population.

    Let me give you the quick response: Block them all and let God sort them out.

    Is there a way to halt people with "No Payment on File" in their profiles from being able to contact me? 

    I know there is a way to restrict contact to friends list, but I really only want to halt the alts/noobs from IMing me.

     

     

     
    I wrote this response to soft Linden:           
     
    I read the responses and was amused at the imagination of what kind of person I am for wanting to block such people. A few posts even suggested ideas about my name, which is actually only an abbreviation of Josephine Marie, my real name.
     
    The reason I want to get away from NPIOFs is mostly because when I am exploring/traveling I've encountered many NPIOFs who were aggressive. The post here that suggested they ask for sex immediately is just about came closest to the issue. They ask for everything- money, too. And do I think these people are actually new? Who would? Recall what it is to be a noob? How likely were you to bounce into SL and start immediately asking for sex and money? Not likely.
     
    Next, when someone here is 12 years old and they have NPIOF in their account, it's kind of obvious they are on an alt. Do I hate them for being on an alt? No. They can be perfectly legitimate, though I personally don't trust them, nor do I care to engage them. Blocking such avs is is only a feature I wish was offered. I am not suggesting everyone employ such a feature.

    This is an interesting request/proposal.

    I suspect payment info on file isn't a terribly strong indicator of the quality of messages coming from an account. But there's value in letting individuals have the tools to make their own choices. For example, the more heavily griefed sandboxes have had good success with requiring manual invites for people without payment info on file.

    If you had the ability to restrict IMs from users without PIOF, how would you want that to work if you had sent an IM to the non-PIOF person first? Or if you had sent them L$ or inventory? Would that exempt them?

    How would you want this to work with ad-hoc chats? (For example, chats created by selecting a group of contact cards)

    Presumably you would also want anyone on your friend list to be exempt as well. Are there other users who should be exempt?

    Also, how big of a problem is this really solving? How many of you are frequently approached by a series of fresh anonymous accounts, and how big of a deal is it for you to block them?

    Increasing the 300 Linden Stipend

        I really like Bellisseria. Good job, Moles of Linden Labs!  I think the homes are cute and an improvement. I like the sailable waters, the streets, the community areas.... I already appreciate the friendly community chatters, and I look forward to my partner and I both having a house (or 2) in Bellisseria. I've joined several of the groups already, and I watch the progress daily. I am on my dashboard trying really hard to be one of the lucky F5 key hitters to claim a Bellisseria home.

       And I am okay with the premium membership increase. It really wasn't that much of an increase... And being a premium member has always been worth it to me. I love having access to 4 sims of sandbox.    

    But I have a thought. If Linden Labs would simply increase the weekly Linden Stipend to Premium members it would really sweeten the pot. 

    Just a suggestion....    ❣️
