Just to try and return this to the more central topic... Yup and me, almost exactly the same script for another issue and its been the same every time I use the service. This is supposed to be one of the perks of being premium and yet without fail they tell you to raise a ticket. I would like to hear from anyone who has actually had an issue fixed via live chat, anyone?, anyone at all? I got a sim restarted once when I was ghosted... lol. ...Dres (It did work.)

I.e.; as is, every step you take in a region has to be examined by the region to see if you are in the proper group. Please extrapolate on this fact of simulator life. And all I'm saying is that groups shouldn't be tied to land at all... but the solution isn't that there should be separate social groups, but a different mechanism, entirely separate from groups, for dictating the distribution of land. Connecting land ownership with groups was a mistake from the start. Somehow, I get the feeling that we are both saying the same thing from different points of view. ...Dres

Ann Otoole wrote: gets confusing eh? 1. open a jira to make people ejected from a land group get immediately ejected so they cannot keep being a problem. Solves the issue at hand. 2. Open a jira for a social group type that is not tied to land. It is a communication group and will be like twitter/plurk and optimized accordingly. Make sense? eta: the amount of work done for land groups is incredible. Everyone entering an area has to be checked etc. Think about it please. There needs to be a seperate social group type not connected to land. I have two land groups.. I have thirty-two others that are not tied to any land at all. Are you saying that I should get rid of the other thirty-two because they are not being used for their intended purpose? ...Dres

Ann Otoole wrote: Dresden Ceriano wrote: Ann Otoole wrote: You can eject an account from a group. However that account will remain connected to the group until that account logs off. This is why it is critical one does not use SL groups for anything except land management and people make sure they never allow strangers into their goups. Groups in SL are not currently meant for social networking and it is not LL's fault people are abusing groups. But then, why would you want land managed by a group if you are having a problem with a group member? How much damage could someone do to what's on a piece of property, simply because they can't be kicked out of a group right away? The system is screwed up and has been that way since it's conception. ...Dres How much damage? Well back in the days of yore before you were apparently around there were only owner and everyone roles. Back then all the scammer ring (to this day still in operation in SL) had to do was gain confidence into a land group as officers. Then AR party the owner and while the owner was suspended the con artists would sell the land to themselves for L$0 and wipe out the legit land owner. Then LL established the group owner role that cut this common scam off. Never use land groups for anything except land management. If you want social groups then rerquest them via jira. Short of that absolutely zero is going to happen so don't waste your time. ...Dres *hopes were dashed*

Ann Otoole wrote: I respectfully disagree. I have never had group issues because I use them solely for land management as intended. If you want social networking groups then request them via jira. You disagree, yet offer no rational reason for doing so. If you think groups should only be used for land management, then you file a JIRA. ...Dres

Ann Otoole wrote: It is absolutelty certain groups in SL were primarily intended for land management purpose and work flawlessly in that regard. If customers want a seperate type of group for social networking then they need to enter a jira feature request for a social networking group type that is not connected to land rights. LL's failure with groups was their idea to connect them to property rights in the first place. Groups should have been exclusively social to begin with and land rights should have been able to be given to whomever a person chooses, no matter what group they happen to belong to. The fact that one single person has to create a whole group to share one single piece of land with one other single person is completely ludicrous. Certainly, with hindsight, LL would not have set the system up that way. ...Dres

There could be an explanation as to why your "bot" was not automatically ejected from your group. I've seen, with my own two eyes, where someone (my sister) was ejected from a group, but because they (my sister) were wearing the group tag at the time, were still able to post to the group. I won't get into the fact that the reason why my sister was ejected from that group was because they were a hypersensitive bunch of nitwits that couldn't deal with someone (my sister) telling them like it is and where to get off. But suffice it to say that if someone, bot or not, is in a group and wearing the group tab when they get ejected from that group, they will still be able to post to it. This is something that the live chat idiots would never have known. You'd have been better off coming here, to the forum, to get advice on what's really going on. Something LL should honestly take into consideration. They can pay people that don't know a damn thing about what's really going on inworld or support the very people that help their fellow residents, all the time, here in the forums. It's not hard to understand which investment would pay off the most. Are you listening Rodvik? ...Dres

I don't like where this is going so I'm locking the thread and closing it down. I have decided that no one else has anything to learn or express, so I'm locking this thread. I have decided it's my way or the highway. Isn't that a song? AND we still don't have a COMMUNITY manager that we can COMMUNICATE with. Darn. My feedback is that I would like to have someone to talk to when I don't understand why an action has been taken. Well, of course, I think that only a troll would question the reasoning behind the moderation process, am I right? I mean, isn't this just the sort of behavior that sucks the fun out of forum life for everyone involved? ...Dres

How an honest discussion about what the difference is between disagreements and flaming, could be considered unhelpful, is beyond me. You may have a definition that is different than mine... perhaps you'd like to explain exactly what yours entails, then we can discuss it. Who knows... we may even agree. ...Dres

This is as true in this instance as it is for any other given violation, meaning very. @the OP: It would seem to me that if the Lindens really want to support something that has garnered as much critical backlash as display names have, they'd choose to use them, by default, in their own viewers. Which means their local chat, when copied from their viewers themselves, would only include display names. I only point this out as a possible explanation. ...Dres

Very true... but if the issue I brought up was corrected, what you brought up wouldn't even be an issue. ...Dres

Coby Foden wrote: Dresden Ceriano wrote: I keep my typing animation turned off, myself. ...Dres So you want to make believe that you are a tummy speaker, eh? :smileywink: Turning typing animation off equates to if in RL you stare in the distance and don't move you mouth at all when speaking with somebody. :matte-motes-bored: Personally I like to keep typing animation on. It gives feedback is the the person typing or not. It's nice to know that the other person is actually producing text especially in laggy situations. Typing animation is not some "noob" feature that we should turn off and be ashamed of. It's a nice feedback feature, IMO. :matte-motes-tongue: PS. I also like when chatting with somebody that the avatar actually looks at me. Lots of animations have the neck locked so that the head is not free to turn. Then some intentionally turn the feature off so that the avatar does not look at the target. Arrgghhh... silly communication! :matte-motes-dont-cry: Turning off typing animation and not looking at the avatar sends a message "Couldn't care less what you're saying, yawn". It feels like chatting with a zombie! This is how I see it. Others might feel differently though. :matte-motes-wink: To be quite honest, If I'm talking to someone that doesn't have the imagination it takes to realize I'm interested in what they have to say, simply because my avatar doesn't look them in the eye, that's probably not a person I really want to be speaking to in the first place. As far as knowing whether a person is typing or not, I spelled out, explicitly, how I go about dealing with that. How someone else chooses to set their viewer is of no concern to me, what-so-ever. If they have a problem with the way I choose to set mine... so be it. So far, I haven't run into any difficulties. ...Dres

I like to know someone is going to speak. I think it is polite in public/local. Yay for typing animations! i can't remember where I got all mine. I pick them up here and there. AKEYO for sure, tho. I used to tell people that, but only if they were really new... not so much anymore. I've recently started using the bubble chat option and find I like it a lot. I have my viewer set to show names temporarily, that way names only show up when someone starts typing something. I've just started doing this but, so far, it seems to be working well. I keep my typing animation turned off, myself. ...Dres

Then someone will come along, realize this and have to go through the process of consolidation once again. And the person creating them now will be the one to blame for it, but they'll probably be long gone by then. ...Dres

If they are unable to confront their stupidity, which they have themselves put on public display, and then have it subsequently pointed out for everyone to see, then they should not be posting on the forum.
