Remember that every rule exists because someone abused the system and it had to be put in.
In that case then, LL needs to enforce their policies... oh wait that isn't going to happen.

A notice, or chat in group?
That group would be annoying as hell if it loads in 100 notices a day!
I always thought it was a chat message, turns out it's a notice for gold rush, chat message for fish multipliers. I turned off the group notices long ago.

Does anyone really use a bot to send group notices? I can't think of one group I'm in that does so. In the case where a merchant has to send updates, it would be a vendor system doing the work not a bot. I'm trying to think of what would be the advantage to having a bot send a group notice.
Yes, people do use bots to send group notices, especially in cases where something starts at a specific time or is triggered by a certain event eg. Linden Gold Hunters uses a bot to send a group notice any time a gold rush starts. There are 37450 members in the group and during a 1 hour period, there were 4 notices sent out. That equates to 149800 messages or almost 30 times the daily limit in just that one hour period.
I have seen stores use bots to announce the weekend deal so the creator doesn't need to login, or to announce the monthly group gift when the month starts.

Someone was claiming that bots don't/can't violate LL policy for using too many resources on a sim/region:
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Inworld_policy_on_bots
This policy REALLY needs to be changed. Under this policy, a bot cannot send a single notice to a group with more than 5,000 users. This about that... a popular store with 5,000 members in the group cannot use a bot to announce a sale or special event.

SSP?
in Linden Homes
2 hours ago, Cam Mode said:Will these be standard Premium homes or a new higher level of cost?
When will they be available? By auction? Random free landing?
How much effort will LL put into enforcing the look and feel-- those stupid empty skyscrapers really wrecked Horizon. Will a Linden roll the streets in a golf cart and return out of theme stuff? REALLY?
Presumably, it will be just like the current Linden homes, you just request one on the site. As for enforcing the look and feel I would presume you are forced to use one of their houses, and just like the current linden home regions, they actually will remove things that are out of theme. it seems to be the only thing you can AR and actually get a Linden to action nowadays.

Good to see I'm not the only one working on improving the map. Mine shows the terrain height and parcel borders, it also has markers for a few security orbs (they show up as a red box for the area you aren't allowed in) and I'm working on adding the height of prims but this is proving a lot more difficult than I first thought. It only does a small section of the grid though.

Huh? Speak up, we can't hear you.
THEY BOUGHT SOME LAND THAT SAID 5000 PRIMS 12000 LINDENS BUT WHEN THEY PAID THEY ACTUALLY GOT LESS THAN 3000. THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET THIS CORRECTED.
You're welcome

How about if avatars are color coded on the map according to how long its been since they changed location.
green for active, moved in the last hour
yellow not moved in two hours
orange not moved in three hours
red not moved in a day
brown not moved in a week
black not moved in a month
Oh great, then everyone will know I never move.

Because it's generally not an alt, but a dozen. In an empty box. And it's very egregious.
See: Skybox at +1000 meters while the actual location is at ground level. Parcel privacy is set to hide avatars, so you can't see them unless you fly above ~80 meter. Flying is disabled. Most of these avatars are the LL starter avatars and/or empty profiles besides the land group.
"Bot" is just a colloquialism for "not being used by human." An alt used primarily to passively boost traffic is a "bot" just the same as any other.
I once found a group of about 30 bots, the owner claimed they were real people watching a movie and banned me. They all had the same 4-5 outfits, all sitting staring at a TV which was not even set up.

Is it fair? No, not really. Is it allowed? No, not really. But to AR the club and get satisfaction would require a certain amount of concerted effort on my part and on the part of other parcel ownrs affected
1It needs more than that.
Good luck getting anyone at LL to enforce their own rules.

We need some kind of fair script use enforcement the same way we have fair use of prims.
Like when we could use the AR category "excessive use of region resources" so that LL could look into it after a few years?

Even the Builders Brewery sandbox is in script overload, with one house rezzed.
The BB Sandbox has a lot more has "one house rezzed". There are currently ~4650 active scripts, and looking at the performance I would say it's about the same as I would expect (oddly BB's sandbox seems a little higher than it should be but only a little).
1 hour ago, animats said:The question is, is the script usage higher than usual, or is less CPU time available for each sim program?
It seems the script usage is just higher than it used to be. Unfortunately, with mesh becoming more and more common, people tend to have more free prims. What do they do with those free prims? Use them to rez more scripted objects.

1. Depends which breedable they're breeding. Only the ozimals were lag monsters that gave the rest of the breedables a bad name. Many breedables operate with a lot less scripts and run time.
I know of other laggy breedable systems.
12 hours ago, Syn Anatine said:2. Depends if breedables have a mode where they go silent when the owner is not there. Meeroo do this for example.
If a breedable is in a parcel and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? 🤣
12 hours ago, Syn Anatine said:But hey, lets totally judge all breedables even though I'd bet 20 bucks all you *really* know about them is heresay.
I'll take you up on that bet. I've done extensive testing on a number of breedable systems (and other large scripted systems) to the point where I have an entire empty region I use for testing loads. Sure I'll admit I haven't tested as many breedable systems as I would like to, but this is mostly down to the amount of time I have between other tests.

I have rented there before I believe, or at least at a multi-scene places where homes did de-rezz when you weren't there. May be the same rental, may be another one doing this.
I was actually quite happy with the set up. The less amount of items/scripts rezzed that would go unused anyway because the renter isn't there, the less laggy things as a whole for those who ARE online and in their home.
Unlike those horrible rentals where they stack one box on top of another and its lag hell for everyone involved even though there's only 4-5 people in the sim.
Have you tried contacting the owner of the rental place and told them about your concerns?
Instead, they have a bunch of scripted sensors to detect when people are in the area so everything can get rezzed.

yeah, i try to keep my scripts down and dont breed animals, the lag seems to never get to bad. I cant see myself really adding many more scripts to a full homestead either to be honest.
My main worry though is of course if there are like 16 other homesteads on a server and they are breeding thousands of critters lagging it to hell.
Honestly this SHOULDN"T be an issue but it's something I haven't looked into properly. if other homesteads on the same server are able to cause yours to lag then the same should be true for full regions too and while you do sometimes see issues that seem to be on the simulator level in my experience these have been very rare and LL has moved regions to new sims when this happens.
-
IMHO the biggest negative of a homestead is the reduced region resources. Did you know you can only use 25% of the frame time? This means having 25% of the scripts as normal. If you are into a certain RP farming game for example and use it on a homestead as many do, you will find your scripts run plummets due to the high amount of script time the system uses. Seeing as you are already used to a 1/3 homestead you are probably already used to this but it is something worth keeping in mind.

Is it possible to raise the maximum bid on auction when still the leading bidder?
No.

I keep hearing this a lot too and it's a bit of misinformation. After a year (or whatever payment term you chose) if you don't switch back to a basic account, LL will assume you want to continue with your premium subscription and bill you for another period. If you have not got the US$ credit in your account they will attempt to bill your payment method. If this also fails they will make your balance negative and try again another day. They will continue trying for 30 days and if they still cannot process the payment they will put your account in "delinquency status". This will still allow you to access secondlife.com to clear the balance but you will be unable to login to the viewer.
If you decide you no longer want to be premium, just remember to change back to a basic account before your premium term is up and they will not try to bill you for another cycle and your account will remain open.

They do this to squeeze more people into the same number of prims (after all if the house isn't rezzed when you aren't there, those prims can be used to rez someone's house who is there). Contacting whoever you rent from is likely to be pointless as it is part of their business model to do this. They are extremely unlikely to make an exception for you so your house stays rezzed taking up prims 24x7 so you would be better off looking for a new place to rent.

Lucky you. All my requests get denied or sent to auction.
