  1. Dear Resident,

    7500 primsΒ to build.

    The surface of the terrainΒ is 128 by 128 metersΒ large in size. This particular property can be usedΒ as commercial or residential land. This island also comes with full terraforming permissions so that you can adjust the terrain of the island to match your environment for your home.

    That would upset all the people who leave their regular account logged in at all times, even when they are sleeping. They aren't NPCs or bots, just regular resident accounts. People have been doing this for more than a decade.Β 

    I don't think forcing people to log out when we literally had to fight for the "right" to not be logged out when AFK is going to be successful.

    Imagine getting one of those emails daily simply because you prefer to remain logged in.Β 

    I doubt LL would be interested in having to spend even more money just policing avatars for being logged in "too long".

    When a normal users is idle for 24 hours in world without any form of navigation this is unusual but possible. The message also clearly indicates "IF your avatar is being used for other purposes than normal resident activity."

    I do not see why anyone would be upset about that. Many games just log out players after 30 minutes of inactivity.

    So, assuming LL takes the time to build a system to actively monitor the location of every user on the grid (??!?!?!), why wouldn't the ones already breaking the rules simply ignore that email? They're already breaking the rules, after all. What's another warning to them?

    Linden Lab is doing just fine managing their policy of bots entering private regions when not allowed. Works like a charm so why would identification of NPC's not work? There is nothing negative about it. It could also be deployed in steps, not very strict at the beginning where you eliminate them from being calculated as parcel traffic but over the course of time the policy becomes stricter.

    Linden Lab staff could also just tag avatars as NPC's if they receive an abuse report about them or a complaint. They find 10 avatars stuffed in a box they can tag them as NPC. No need to ban or warn or anything of the sort. Should a user feel this is incorrect they could always appeal.

    I found a store experimenting with new ways to approach and interact with customers there - very interesting way to demo clothing...

    Clearly what we don't need in SL - creative new ideas...

    The point is not that this store cannot have their models or NPC's. Everybody can keep their models and NPC's.

    If Bernie wants to get a sim and load 50 avatar NPC's on his sim for which he pays so he can turn these avatars into NPC mobs so he can shoot them with his friends that is fine. Bernie can do this, it is his land and he can have his NPC's.Β 

    These 50 NPC's should not contribute to the logged in user numbers.

    These 50 NPC's should be distinguished on the grid map and removed from the traffic results as they contribute nothing and are not logged in users.

    They should be identified as NPC's. That is what this is about. It is clearly explained in the first post.

    You're still not answering the question of HOW.

    How is Linden Lab supposed to filter between people and non-people? How do they detect who's following the rules? What's the method they should use? Captcha popups every 5 minutes?

    A good start would be to send automated e-mails to users who are parked at the same location for 24 hours in a row. Send e-mail to the avatar containing a message like: ......

    Hello Second Life user,Β 

    We noticed that your avatar Avatar Name has been idle in world for more than a period of 24 hours. At Linden Lab we want to keep Second Life a vibrant place for our users. Therefor if your avatar Avatar Name is being used for other purposes or activities than being an active Second Life resident we would like to ask you to register your avatar as an NPC Non Player Character at https://www........

    If you are unsure what is defined as an NPC Non Player Character in the Second Life virtual world you can learn more here. https://www........

    This alone willΒ  cause a large majority of people who deploy NPC's in world to just register their NPC. Sure you will have people trying to circumvent or ignore the request or try to game the system but you can then focus on that particular group. Most people who have their NPC, greeter bot, roleplay bots, store models etc.... will just register them. Just through simple automation you can already achieve results.
