  1. Und wenn dir bei deiner Self Hosted Lösung Hardware abraucht und du erst Ersatz beschaffen musst, was dann? Die mehrfache Absicherung hat übrigens die in der Zwischenzeit angefallenen und nicht bearbeiteten Transaktionen nachgeholt...

  2. The only restrictions for "underage avatars" are sex related. Underage avatars smoking weed is no problem, killing them is no problem, putting them on the bbq and enjoying them with french fries and a bottle of good wine is no problem either. There might be someone sending an AR, but nothing would come from it.

    Well, more like $1675 to buy and $195 tier originally.

    Then went to $1000 to buy and $295 tier.

    and then dropped from that point over the last couple of years.

    As for sales I’m sure they are done in USD. Not linden. I wouldn’t trust anyone to pay them that amount in linden on good faith. I’m sure that the sale comes from the USD balance on your account and is then transferred to the seller upon completion of the region being transferred into your name

    The purchase price of $1675 lasted much longer, well into the times of $295 per month.

     

    The official transfer ticket system used to accept both $US and L$ for the region price and transfer fee, not sure how that is today, I haven't used it in a looooong time. And as long as the system is used for all parts of the transfer, being paid in L$ is just as save as in $US.

    That's impossible. Parcels will always have the rating the region does.

    As far as I recall the region rating is the maximum that is allowed. If I'm wrong: what are those checkboxes in the parcel menu for? On moderate regions you have a checkbox for "Moderate Content", on adult rated regions it is for "Adult Content".

     

    Anyways, it was just an idea about the OP's problem. If that was on a private region, maybe the owner has changed the region rating after the parcel purchase?

  5. Hm, did you check the region rating? Parcels can have a lower rating than the region they are on, so there can be moderate parcels on an adult rated region. The parcel owner has a checkbox on the "About Land" dialog, "Options" tab, where he can check "Adult Content". Though the region rating should be shown in the title bar. So, just an idea to check.

  6. Check the thread "Unlisted due to banned text" right here in this forum. I was hit by it, too, and after ideas from that thread I removed the word "Kinder" (german for children) from the german description - no problem anymore. I had also opened a support ticket, which was answered by Dakota Linden. After figuring out the triggering word, Dakota escalated the problem to a supervisor. Most likely "Kinder" triggered the ban hammer because of the Company Ferrero holding a copyright for different sweets sold under the name "Kinder", like Kinderschokolade and so on. This *should* not trigger the ban hammer, Ferrero doesn't hold the rights to that word outside of yummy RL cholocate products. Hopefully it will be fixed.

  7. I was hit by the same automatic unlisting and opened a support ticket. After finding this thread here, I deleted the german word for children (Kinder) from the german description and the listing was accepted. I added this to my ticket (which was meanwhile answered by Dakota Linden, who asked to let him know if the trigger-word should not trigger the filters, so it can be escalated to the supervisors.

    Weil die als US-Unternehmen vielleicht US-Steuern zu US -Steuersätzen an den US-Staat abführen? Nur noch so eine Idee ...

    Ernsthaft:. Die Leistung wird in den USA erbracht, Steuerschuldner ist demnach LL und muss den US -Steuersatz aufschlagen
    Allerdings wenn du ein SL-Business, kannst du  dich über die Ust-ID ganz davon befreien lassen. Vorausgesetzt du hast dieses Gewerbe auch in Deutschland angemeldet.



     

    Öhm, nein. LL bietet einen elektronischen Service außerhalb der USA an und muss von deutschen Kunden die deutsche MwSt kassieren und abführen. In Frankreich die französische. In GB die britische. Usw. usf. Kleiner Lesetip, allerdings auf Englisch:

    True. But the Left spends huge amounts on studying and learning how to change minds and indoctrinate the inattentive. 

    If one has good ideas and does not want to live under the ideology of failed systems... hiding and keeping the good ideas to one's self is pretty much certain failure. However, you are entitled to do as you choose.

    If you aren't seeing the bashing, I suspect it is because you aren't speaking up. Try triggering a s snowflake or two.

     

    Okay, I snap the bait. If you want to talk about indoctrinating: watch Fox "News" or read what the Liar-in-Chief writes on Twitter.

     

    It is also quite funny talking about the ideology of failed systems - while the big majority of those who critizise the current US situation don't look at those failed systems but at well working systems like in many European countries. Systems that don't put you out of your house to be able to pay your medical bills or paying back your student loans.

     

    It is also funny when you talk about triggering a snowflake - look at what all you wrote and think about who got triggered...

     

    BTW, the OP made a typical mistake often made especially by republican americans: thinking that the whole world (in this case the whole SL) rotates around their own little backyard aka the USA.

    And there it is ... I was asking opinions and gutter sniping goes into effect... thank you all for your input . All I was asking is shouldnt this be taken more seriously... 

     

    You didn't just ask for opinions, you called for a boycott. Both SL in world and this forum are public but privately owned places, you can (as long as it doesn't violate the ToS or community standards) state your opinion, but as it is with all public places, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences. Be it responses you don't like to hear or getting kicked out of privately owned places. You can always mute people or visit other places/clubs.

  11. Raising the rents while at the same time the value of the L$ went up dramatically over the last few weeks in my eyes is a big no-no. Today to cover the fees for a non-grandfathered full region you have to sell like L$3000 less than two months ago. So they take more money while having to pay less. Vote with your feet and rent somewhere else.

    I have never had a USD balance. Never will. I have not had to agree to Tilia TOS to buy Ls. I have not had to agree to Tilia just to be able to log in because as LL found out that is coercion and quite illegal in the US.

     

    My goodness, this is NOT about YOU! You are not the center of the universe, not even the center of SL! I know that someone using SL the way you do has not to agree to the Tilia TOS - I have a couple of such accounts myself! I also have an account that sells enough L$ each year to cover the premium membership (and cashed out aka processed credit twice in 13 years, the last time maybe 8 years ago) - with this one I only had to agree to the Tilia TOS but not provide aditional personal data. And I have my SIM owner account that doesn't cash out aka process credit but sells high amounts of L$ (well, high for little me) that not only had to agree to the Tilia TOS but also provide aditional data for just selling the next batch of L$. Just in case this is the cause for your confusion: "cash out" for me means "taking money out of SL". Simply selling L$ to cover SL fees is not cashing out.

    No, I am not wrong. I don't sell Ls. Ever. If you are selling Ls then chances are you are withdrawing. I. DO. NOT. SELL. Ls NOR DO I WITHDRAW REAL MONEY FROM SL in any form.

    Get it through your thick skulls.

     

    Yes, you are wrong. Quote: "If you never cash out you never have to agree to the Tilia terms. It is that simple."

     

    Having US$ in your account from selling L$ is enough for having to agree to the Tilia terms. Selling high numbers of L$ without cashing out can be enough for having to provide additional personal info.

     

    Get it through your thick skull.

    I suspect this may be partly a terminology confusion. Apparently the standard usage of "cash out" puts the emphasis on "cash" -- the LindeX conversion from L$s to US$s within the account -- rather than on "out", instead using "process credit" to refer to transfer of US$s out of the SL account to PayPal, Skrill, etc.

    (Until all this Tilia brouhaha began, I'd long used "cash out" to refer to that funds transfer, apparently incorrectly.)

    All that said, my current understanding is that data provided to Linden Lab, necessary to enable large-volume LindeX transactions, does not apply to Tilia, which only gets involved with the funds transfers, not conversions from L$s to US$s. 

    I can only tell you what happened to me, no matter if you call it "cash out" or "process credit". Simply selling "too many" L$ on the LindeX is enough to get blocked from selling more L$ until the wanted data is provided (according to Live Chat). Even without even looking at the "Process Credit" link I can't start another sale. This is from the LindeX Sell L$ page:
