[Maturity Changes in the Marketplace]

Understood. Thank you very much for the explanation. There are things that, as a European, I can not understand at all, but your explanation has been helpful to me

[Maturity Changes in the Marketplace]

Hi Darrius. I'm not from USA, I believe what you say. But is there in USA laws against cybersex (cybersex as in SL) between minors or cyber sex of minors with adults?

[The Second Life Economy in Q4 2010]

Well, I could say there are some exceptions for inworld shopping

If I decide to buy an expensive prefab or, lets say, am elaborated expensive pet or wild animal, like the whale I bought, I surely use SL Market, cause Inworld search just does not work.

But I would never do the final purchase without checking the item Inworld, rezzed or checking the prefabs rezzer parcel

Maybe a dress or a texture or simple objects do not need Inworld but complex or expensive 3D spacial creations like homes, etc, still do need

Would you buy a 10K castle or skyscraper before checking it closely Inworld ?

My point is - Some products benefit from 3D shopping Inworld and justify land tiers to show and sell them

Totally agree.

I'm not sure of the real-world age limit on buying tobacco--like RL age-of-consent it may not be 18 in other countries than the USA--but there are age limits. So at that level, it isn't crazy.

So, if RL age limit for dirve a car is18 in some countries, a car is a Mature item? And airplanes? And buy and own land? And use a weapon (General in guidelines!!)?

Other entry of statistics useless. Pure advertising.

References to tobacco use as Moderate Content?

Well, I have a freebie box of tobacco. The automated system asigned that box a General content. I have changed the level to Moderate. I don't understand that level for the tobacco but ...

I'm stunned. Then, SOCIALIZE is a game for you? Because one (not only) of my main reasons for being in SL is socialize, socialize seriously, not socialize as a game.

This is not a "technical" issue, so I prefer remember here (not in the Discussion page) that we need a sure but fast and easy system for translate pages from the Knowledge Base into other languages (and perhaps from the "LL Official")

I have disabled the migration (i am not sure either), because I do not want to have my listing descriptions overwritten (again). I just want the old sales data from XSL.

Just like me.

[Making Strides to Improve our Customer Support Services]

Hi Vogt.

In your last blog post,you said:

New Abuse Appeals Process

One  thing that we updated already,  as part of our new case and chat platform, is the Abuse Appeals  process.  As you will notice if you peruse the case submission form, you  will see that the abuse appeals option has disappeared.  Our new  approach is directly targeted at those affected by disciplinary action.   If your account is suspended or  banned, then secondlife.com will allow you to log in on the affected account and will take you to  a  form designed specifically for creating an appeals case.

Unfortunately, a secondlife.com authentication bug has temporarily disabled this function.  While our   web team works on that issue, we've established a temporary process.   If  you need to file an abuse appeal, please log in to secondlife.com with an alt account.  Then, file a new ticket from http://secondlife.com/support,  selecting "Account Issues" and then "Second Life Web Login Issue."  Be   certain to include any information you believe is relevant to our  re-evaluation of your case. As soon as the new Abuse Appeals process is   reinstated, then we will let you know.

Is fixed the authentication bug yet? Unless banned oneself, it's not possible to check if fixed or not.

Thanks for the info, Torley. And thanks all for the great information in your posts.

[[QUICKTIP] Dragging a texture preview to apply it]

During my first year in SL, when I wanted to create a folder to place it inside another folder of the Inventory I FIRST created the folder and THEN moved into the other folder.

It took me a year to learn that I could right-click the folder and creaste a new folder inside.

Fool (like me) but true

[Mesh Import Open Beta Starts Today]

Great job, congratulations!!

PS. There is an uncorrect link in the post:

• Q: How will Mesh objects look if you’re viewing them from an older viewer, such as those based on Viewer 1.23?
• A: They will look like flat shapes and will not resemble the real mesh objects. See the Mesh wiki page for examples.

I don't know if it's interesting add to the wiki document: "if your skybox is under 400 meters will be shoon on the World Map (and perhaps and may cover oher structures" (or something similar... and in correct English LOL).

Thanks Irene. Wow, that's more jumbled than I thought!

You're welcome.

[Welcoming Teen Grid Organizations to the Main Grid]

If anybody knows of a source of maps showing the distribution of PG and Mature regions on Mainland I'd be very interested.

See http://lab.kathar.in/heatmap/ (info: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2010/08/sl-heatmap.html).

[[HELP] Check out the NEW Second Life sidebar tutorial for basic must-knows!]

Torley, I've always wondered why a tutorial (for example THAT VIDEO) does not NECESSARILY appear to any new resident during the registration process. It is possible to "purposely delay" the passage from one page to another in the registration form. And while waiting for the new page appears, LL can show in each page a "chapter" of the tutorial. That is used in many sites.

 

I know I use a veeery bad English, sorry.. But I hope you (Torley and others) understand me LOL

[Welcoming Teen Grid Organizations to the Main Grid]

Great notice! Good thinking, Linden Lab .
