No, the rock is on the parcel that is for sale. The ad board parcel is networked advertising, totally different. Ad farming is not allowed, networked advertising is.

I have the ad boards because it amuses me to have them. I can just be a straight flipper, I never pay more than $250 L for each parcel I buy. I could relist them for $500 L and they would sell in a week or two.

Ouch, however, a 16 sq m parcel supports 5 prims, my ad board is 5 prims, not much left over to pretty things up. Annnd, from what I've been told over and over, no one even looks at ad boards anyway, but thank you for your suggestions.

I put up a picture of only the rock to show what one of my parcels that are for sale looks like, to assure people that I wasn't adfarming. Putting up a picture of the ad board might be considered advertising, and would surely be ARed.

The land wasn't doomed. Who cares what is beside you? It's whats in front that counts. Just put up a high hedge on the offending side and forget about it. I've seen lots of threads in here about obnoxious builds, obnoxious privacy screens, obnoxious low hanging sky boxes, so please don't blame all mainland blight on conforming networked advertising.

I didn't realize that picture was from the same spot i bought land. Here is the picture with the latest land cuts. 2 and 4 are mine, 3 was bought by someone else, 5 has a vendor box, but the owner is willing to give the parcel away for free. The 512 is still there and if it was cheep enough, someone would buy it. No land ever gets wasted, there is always a right price for someone to purchase it. Since its abandoned though, LL would demand $0.5 L per sq m, $256 L which someone might spend considering it still has road access. When you look at it that way, despite the ad boards, its not a bad deal at all.

Land cutting happens for all sizes of land, big and small. If a flipper has a 1/4 sim and cuts it into 512's should that be banned, or just cutting to land under a certain size. Someone making 16 sq m parcels can defo be reported. If the land left over was sold cheaply enough, someone on the sim will buy it for the prims.

So, you are saying I could be banned for buying land that others end up not liking what I do with it? That really doesn't seem fair. LL has stated quite clearly that I can own up to 50 networked advertising parcels, so potentially 50 people could be upset and abandon their land. I'm sorry, but following the rules isn't a bannable offence, since all my ads comply with all the rules set out for networked advertising. In this case its not community standards, its rules regarding networked advertising.

Oh yes, anyone that doesn't think advertising on micro parcels is a blight on SL and should be banned, is being "absurd" and "trolling". But no, sorry, thinking that micro parcel advertising is a legitimate use is a valid position, and one that is backed up by Linden Lab policy.

They bought their land two days before I bought mine,and they abandoned their land two days after my ad board went up. I think one can be fairly certain as to the reason they abandoned it.

Advisors shouldn't engage in harassment, your title should be removed.

I've asked that this thread be closed, since there doesn't seem to be much constructive discussion going on, just harassing and trolling. What do they say? In before the lock?

Oh its not the first time someone abandoned their land after I put up an adboard. But, I'm free to do what I want as long as I follow the rules, and so are they.

One can always hope that people will stay civil, but once again, I was wrong

Thank you very much, I think I shall. As for asking the owner of the abandoned land, I didn't know he was going to abandon it, and I doubt he would want to talk to the person that caused him to abandon his parcel

Thank you for informing me about the error in my SPM notecard. I used to have an office in a room at that location, but I took it out. Since you informed me of this, I edited the notecard to take out the link, and replaced it in all my adboards. Also, I found several that didn't have the newest panel, so I was able to update them to the newest version. Thank you again.

How do you report a thread that has devolved into a platform for abusing and trolling the OP

Actually the blog is behind a warning page, so it isn't a direct link to adult content.

I'm impressed, how long did it take you to find it? 😂

As I said in an earlier post, he could have lived with the ad board, and worked around it, but I can imagine he logged in, saw the board and said &$)*&%) ad boards, I'm outta here.

I hope they DID learn their lesson, DON'T buy land with micro parcels between your parcel and the road, assuming they will be vacant forever

Thank you for advertising my blog, the check is in the mail 😂

Like I said, my parcels for sale don't blight anyone's view

I've never done that. I've never put in a request for land of any size just to sell it. Now you are just making stuff up.
