Thursday, June 11th, 2015 @ 8:29 AM, [GMT-0800], Day of year = 162 The way the new policy for those considered as "large groups" is unfair. It penalizes those who have worked years to build a nice group. The reason it is unfair is that it restricts the "getting a group member list" to the group owner ONLY.. Large groups usually have "staff," i.e., those who help with the daily chores and need access to the group member list. I can understand LL's desire to reduce server load by reducing access to group memberlists, but it should not penalize large group owners. Here are suggestions to HELP both SL members AND help LL. #1 Figure out a way to remove deactivated accounts, "ghosts," other dead people, and miscreants from a group list. At this moment LL detemines group size by NOT using the ACTUAL number of members, but by using actual members AND deactivated accounts AND all others. The end result is unfairness. In my group, Girltown, I'm shown as having about 5734 members, while the REAL number of members is about 4753. I am penalized becuz of the 5734 number, which is >5000, and THAT is really unfair, don't you think? #2 Here is a SIMPLE way to cut back on server load: Just ADD an "ability" to groups which allows only the group owner to specify 5 or 10 staff members who can access a memberlist? So simple! Have a "check box" so the group owner can specify who is staff. :) Easy peasy! It helps LL and it HELPS group owners. A "WIN-WIN" is always the best solution. I have worked HARD to build a good group over the past 7+ years as a premium member. Do not destroy all I've worked for by not being fair in return? The problem I'm having MAY BE caused by the following bug: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-5586 This matter really NEEDS to be fixed. Many others, besides myself, will be hurt if the new policy is left "as is." :( Thank you, Linda Latte
