  1. I see it as a just reward for a broken backwards system.

    We all know the DMCA policy.

    Can any person here file? No, we cannot. The system doesn't work like that.

    Beyonce has plenty of money, she can watchdog her own profits. I feel really sorry for Beyonce, she wanted people to like her and then the people did. Woe is her, maybe a new Mercedes will make her feel better. 

    The OP has the misfortune of taking the brunt end of an unresolved MP merchant's gripe. The OP bought it, she didn't make it. We could find that Merchant and LL would just ignore it. Only Beyonce can file a dmca. She might like SL and be flattered that her electronic presence is here. Won't know until someone ask her.

     

    Edit: I might be a bit off on some of my points. Following the terms of service and community standards does create respect for the intellectually property of others. I agree with Drake's promotion of it and your support of that policy. If all residents followed the rules we have here, we wouldn't need to be ruled by others outside of SL.

    Just thought it was important to say that:matte-motes-smile:

  2. Only private region owners may be able to see your ip. The Mainland is managed by Linden Lab.

    The majority of region owners are not concerned with who a resident's alts might be. It is unlikely that they would share ip addresses with other residents. Most region owners are verified users, names addresses, billing info, etc. They're not going to violate the terms of service to help some stalker discover who a resident's alt(s) might be.

    Some residents may claim that you have an alt or that they know your alt. Of course they won't be able to produce a name because they don't know and they are baiting you.

    A good use for an alternate account, is to pursue an alternate second life. If you visit all the same places, it's not technically an alt.

    Popular stores and clubs in any type of region employ security measures to maintain a peaceful welcoming destination for residents. It's a business, they do not involve themselves in drama. Asking for private information about one of the guest is a quick way to get banned from the region.

    If you want to throw them for a loop, just make up a name and say it is your alt. Add photo to your profile of your fake alt.

  3. I don't think it is a big deal.

    An entourage or celebrity entourage would be a fun idea. I'm not good at styling my avatar, the best I could do would be to hang around and help spend your money. :smileyhappy:


    I hope you enjoy your new look.

     

  4. If you have cancelled your account, you may be able to restore it, depending on how long ago it was cancelled. There is a US$9.95 reactivation fee for restoring an account.

    32px-KBwarning.png Warning: Even if your account is restored, the associated inventory, land, and Linden dollar balance may be unrecoverable.

    To start the process:

    1. Open a support case.
    2. Under What type of problem are you having? choose Account Issue.
    3. Choose Reactivate an old account.
    4. Enter the required information
    5. Click Submit.

  5. You have replies at the other thread you created about this, including a Resident who can meet with you Inworld to look at the issue.

    Do you own the land? I don't understand why there aren't enough credits.

     

    I cannot confirm atm if the land must be Group Owned in order for group officers to have full abilities. I think it does.

  6. I think you have to open the Group page and there should be a small check box... I forget what it says, I'm getting old. Show something it says.

     

    By default, others can see the groups to which you belong in your profile.

    To hide a group so that it does not appear in your profile:

    1. Choose Communicate > Groups or right-click on yourself and choose My Groups.
    2. Click the group you want to hide 
    3. Click Group Profile.
    4. Deselect Show in my profile.
    5. Click Save.

  7. Anybody can learn how to use the interface but only a small percentage of residents build creatively.

    It is possible that you are popular because you are creative and interesting.

    You should be flattered, not upset. It's not their fault that they like your company. Compose yourself.

    I like to build alone. I understand how any interruption can influence the final product. Everyone is not an artist.

    My advice is that you cannot force creativity. Some interruptions are meant to be.

     

     

    Breath deep, exhale, resume breathing normally.

     

     

     

  8. Hello Fonic,

    I apologize for not seeing your question. This part of the Forum is for discussions. I will try to help you here. I have translated that you are having a problem with transferring money from second life to Pay pal. You say that there is an issue with entering the Date.

    I will add some links to the knowledge base that might help.

    You may have repost this question in Answers where other experienced Residents may have a solution.

  9. Look in your inventory to view what your avatar is wearing. Remove any objects that you do not recognize.

    Use a 3rd party viewer like Firestorm.

    Create an Alt account.

    Visit populated areas or managed regions to avoid being singled out.

    Nobody likes griefers'. The goal is to reduce the quantity of griefers'.

    I hope that your second life experience improves. :matte-motes-smile:

     

     

  10. Metric is ok but if you ever need to repair anything in the real world, you're going to need a standard and metric tool set.

    Then there is the question of how many sizes should there be? A 14mm wrench is great for a rusty 9/16 bolt and a 1/2 is great for a rusty 14mm bolt.

    I see two points worth touching on the watermelons. Mathematicians don't understand watermelons and I forget my second point. Something distracted me.

     

  11. The Residents who are violating the terms of service by harassing you, purchased the scripted items they are using.

    Weapons development in second life is a race. For every known attack, there is a defense. That is just how it works.

    It is not an exploit.

    I can only suggest that you find better places to visit.

    If you are being harassed on land you own, change the land settings.

    Avoid visiting areas where scripts are enabled.

    Continue to report abuse if you experience it.

     

     

     

     

  12. The guide is still showing the old location that is not there.

    For questions or update requests to existing entries, or to report an error — like a wrong SLurl or place that's gone — contact the Linden Lab editors via email. Please note that we are not able to respond to every inquiry, however we welcome all comments, feedback and suggestions.

    If I am reading the above correctly. Any Resident may "report an error". I don't suggest mass emailing the Editor but it is possible that a few friends sending 1 email may help to create greater awareness.

  13. I have not purchased a Region nor have I offered land for rent.

    I think that buying a single Region for the purpose of renting it out for profit is a bad idea. You could learn and build a customer base with a much smaller investment on the mainland. Starting with a full region is a lot of obligation. On the mainland, you could abandon part of your tier liability if you had to and your tenants wouldn't be disturbed.

    If you know you can afford it, then go for it. Give yourself 90 days to become self sustaining. If the rentals aren't paying the tier by then, consider hiring help or throwing in the towel.

    You could buy an existing region to save money.

    If I were to buy a region, it would be for fun. If there was extra land that I wasn't using, I might try to rent it. 

     

  14. If an item mysteriously disappears from your inventory, use the the procedures below to locate it.

     

    • Click the Inventory inventory_button.png button on the toolbar and select the RECENT tab. Items returned since last log off will be stored here.
    • Clear the Second Life Viewer's cache. 
    • Search for the item by entering its name in the Filter Inventory field of the INVENTORY window.
    • Search the Lost And Found folder.
    • Search the Trash folder.
    • Search folders listed at the top of the INVENTORY window.
    • Your filter settings may be hiding some of your inventory items. To reset them, click the Gear message-id icon at the bottom left of the INVENTORY window and choose Reset Filters.

     

    You can also look in your Transaction history at your Dashboard account page. If you see the transaction, but cannot find the item after following the suggestions above, consider contacting the seller or merchant.

     

    Account > Transaction History

     

     

  15. You could set a Display name. Your avatar surname would still be Resident but most Residents would see your display name.

    Only older accounts have a surname.

    http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Usernames-and-display-names/ta-p/700173

     

    There is a method to purchase a name. There are requirements that must be met. I cannot recall where the link is for that atm.


    Edit: I found the link. You're going to :smileyvery-happy: , it's $500 usd to set up and $500 per year to keep and you can only use it to make a new name.
