mc.secondlife.com is LL's subdomain for MailChimp, which is a marketing mailing list service that Linden Lab uses. It is a lot faster than most internal solutions. The email is legitimate. I received one on my email that I only use for Second Life, as well as having inspected the email headers. The reason it comes from mc.secondlife.com is the same reason my automated emails come from mg.MyDomainICantMentionAnymoreOrTheForumThinksItIsSpam.com: To satisfy anti-spam and phishing detection by includinf valid DMARC and DKIM information in the TXT field of the domain name. By using a subdomain, it means LL can still use secondlife.com and all it's other subdomains to send emails and what not that don't go through MailChimp, such as im.secondlife.com for object emails. You can opt to unsubscribe from these emails by clicking the unsubscribe button at the bottom, or by unsubscribing here: https://accounts.secondlife.com/change_email/ If for some reason the above solutions do not work, you are encouraged to submit a bug report on https://jira.secondlife.com/ Just remember that LL will NEVER ask you for your password except during viewer login, id.secondlife.com, web-login.secondlife.com, and on secondlife.com/my/ when changing password. If you receive a email regarding a password reset that you did not request, simply delete and ignore it.

This is a wili bad sock puppet attempt. Now I don't speak for LL, but I know there is only so many times they will humor you sock puppeting on the forums to advertise.

I already did, and as I said, usernames are not a fashion accessory. If you want fancy characters in your name, use your display name so I can refer to your username when I have to use moderation tools in regions I moderate.

I already refer to people by their username when they make their display name untypeable. I will start referring to people by their UUID if they start doing the same with their username. Usernames are supposed to be readable, not a fashion accessory.

If implemented, I am hoping that llOpenFloater is more than just llOpenFloater(string url);, as llOpenFloater could have much more use potential. I'd see something like llOpenFloater(string floaterName, list options); being a better suited function layout, as this would allow, in the future, more than just a webpage. Perhaps a floater asset that can be custom designed by using XUI in-world(sanity checked of course, I've done crashed myself a few times when editing XUI). Though with webpages being the initial selling feature, is does kind of seem like a re-implementation of llLoadURL, though without explicit user permissions. There is reasons why llLoadURL, media streams, and MOAP have permission dialogs, and that's redzone, we don't need a repeat of that. No amount of money is going to stop people from being malicious with it, just take the landlords who spam people with notecards weekly if you happen to get on their mailing list somehow. Perhaps webpages should be whitelisted in a similar fashion to media URLs, initially whitelisting *.lindenlab.com and *.secondlife.com, and allowing users to choose to accept whether or not a URL is allowed or not.

I honestly do not like attention because aspergers came with social anxiety. I once built up enough courage to go to a furry club, then someone yelled(shouted) "<UNICODE GLITTER> HELLO CHASER ZAKS WELCOME TO <CLUB>!!! HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY! <UNICODE GLITTER>" the second I arrived. It made me leave immediately because my anxiety shot through the roof. Not going to another club ever again.

Just because someone reports you, doesn't mean that LL will automatically do something about it. They take reports with a grain of salt, and use it as a starting point for their own investigations, which they gather from server logs. Once they have enough evidence that they themselves produced, they take action. As for the situation you presented: They likely reported you for "Disturbing the peace > Repetitive spam". Second Life's older residents have experienced quite a bit of spam over their time, and are very.. unhappy.. when it comes to being IM'd out of no where with ads. General rule of the thumb: If you are going to IM people, it shouldn't be an advertisement. There is a place for advertising, and that is classifieds, the marketplace listing enhancements, and in-world advertising banners. Sending unsolicited ads to people will often have a negative effect of word spreading about spam.

I have seen a few places that forbid furry avatars, but it is perfectly reasonable and in their right to do so. Personally what I do is get my alt account and scope out the place to make sure it'll be somewhere I will fit in, this is primarily due to anxiety but also because I like to read the rules before I set foot on my main. People have their reasons to forbid specific types of avatars, but there is also plenty of places for everyone in SL.

Because for some reason people think that "unless the boobs are big, it is a child", because people don't think flat/small chested people don't exist apparently. I have the kemono avatar, I don't use it often, but I see lots of people use it. Unless someone goes out of their way to make it look like a child, I don't see it as a child.

Do what I do and use a script which can pull facial expression data off a webcam and animate the avatar based off what it thinks the expression is.

Talking with the rest of the team, it is possible you downloaded the 32-bit version which is capped at 512. You'll need to get the 64-bit version to go above 512. You can try a re-install to install the 64-bit version instead(I'd recommend probably uninstalling the 32-bit version first): https://www.firestormviewer.org/choose-your-platform/ If you can't figure out which version you are using, you can post your environment string and I'll take a look at it. You can find that here:

That is texture memory limit. The memory limit is based off the maximum that your graphics card can hold. You can still see textures that are up to 1024x1024, just it is limited to how much can be in the video memory at once. As for group chats, that is a Linden Lab issue and is something that is out of our control.

If I recall correctly, the issue boils down to them making claims that you subscribed somehow, and that they offer the ability to unsubscribe. Often unsubscribing mean contacting them and hoping they read your message. Only then you can file an AR for not unsubscribing. I would really like to see this rule rewritten as:

So with all the mainland getting connected, I am proposing a new super highway from the rest of the mainland to Zindra, below is my expertly made diagram: My super highway plan will take approximately 4,500 Regions, and 10,000 Moles. Thoughts?

Search "OwO what's this". I can't finish the rest of the phrase because it'd lead into nsfw, but that will answer your question.

While I will back Wili in regards to hacks, as people who hack into servers have various motives. Maybe it is for money, maybe they want to cause as much chaos as possible. I know there are people who hack into servers and just wipe everything, maybe after they take a copy of the database for themself. However, something is fishy (no pun intended, or maybe pun intended. Yes pun intended.) about all this. Something smells of subtle advertising, considering how active Wili has been on the forums lately, and then suddenly this thread gets necro bumped. Could be a coincidence, but feels suspicious to me.

The way I deal with stuff is: If someone is breaking the rules, I punish them. This includes those that retaliate, such as by using """defense""" huds or combat huds to grief the griefer, as this disrupts other people as well and just makes the situation worse. However, if someone is just a bystander and say, uses sitting to prevent being pushed around, they won't be in trouble. The same goes for forum moderation, if someone is trolling on the forums and calling someone names, and someone starts calling that person names as well, I will punish both users. I am a equal opportunity moderator, I will suspend or ban anyone who is breaking the rules, doesn't matter the context, or if they were trying to troll the troll. If I don't enforce it equally across the board, it just makes the rules look pointless because there isn't a clear indication on when the rules will be enforced, and instills distrust of the moderation.

These type of bots have been around forever. If you keep track of who enters your region, you'll see they pop in quite often. I doubt they do any harm though. My presumption is that they are a form of grid surveying bot that collect information regarding regions. Not a specific person or region, but every region. This typically includes region type, estate, owner, terrain height, and possibly parcel data, just to name a few. The reason for why new accounts are created is because people ban them from parcels and regions, meaning they can't collect this information anymore. While I would much prefer for bot owners to disclose who owns the bot, and what the bots purpose is, it isn't a requirement. However, LL does have a clause where they can start charging money if someone creates a army of accounts like this, but I don't think they have ever enforced that (Note: lack of enforcement doesn't mean it won't ever be enforced).

Claim she is a witch and bring her to trial May we burn her?

Used to play roblox years ago when I was younger. Roblox is more akin to stuff like Garry's Mod and Blockland, as everything is "server based" and sandboxed, there isnt really a world, but rather many maps(gaming term). Second Life is more akin to High Fidelity, Sansar, Furcadia, IMVU, and VRChat, but not quite. The part that makes Second Life stand out is that all you need is the viewer to create, and the world is connected via regions and create really big continents that can be traveled, as opposed to being loosely connected via portals. Roblox most certainly is targeted towards the younger audience, but is that doesn't mean the features are lacking. It does have a hefty scripting API, and I've seen things that transformed it into something unrecognizable as roblox. But again, it does have a majority younger audience, so imagine COD kids except they can't swear.

I don't think there is a way to automatically disable these, not to mention doing so would break a other content such as prim water that is animated. You can try doing the following: To temporarily remove a object from your view, right click and select derender. To permanently remove a object from your view, right click and choose derender + blacklist.

As a mainland parcel owner, mainland is a bit.. chaotic, and there are quite a few old builds still around. I kind of like seeing some old builds, they have a bit of charm to them(unlike the ground level skyboxes). I mostly like it for the roads and large open space(until 0 second security orbs smack me). Personally I hope LL one day has the moles finish up Zindra, maybe do a bit of modernization here and there too. But this is a discussion for another topic.

The governance team gets well over 1000 reports per day, from invalid reports such as someone upset that their gf/bf cheated on them, to very serious issues such as someone bringing down regions left and right. While it may seem that the governance team isn't dealing with the situation, I guarantee you that each report is looked at and dealt with accordingly. For privacy reasons, they can't reveal the progress, status, or outcome of a report, because what happens to someone's account is solely between the account holder and Linden Lab. I understand being left in the dark like this can be frustrating, it has frustrated me sometimes too, but I put those frustrations aside knowing that the governance team does look at each report, and doesn't toss them aside because "handling more ticket = more money for the employee" like some other companies do(if you know the gaming industry, you know who I am talking about). All reports are handled by people who have the genuine best interest of SL in mind. I have met a few myself (not on their main account, but on Governor Linden and other Linden accounts). They really do care and will handle the tickets properly. If you do have concerns about this, you can go to one of the governance user group meetings and ask questions there(please not that questions regarding the status or outcome of reports can't be disclosed): http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Governance_User_Group
