    .... I haven't used the Dashboard Status Page entry for a long time now. I have the status page bookmarked as well as on its own 'dial' for my web browser's start pages. Now for a newer user, yes this could be problematic.

    Yeah, that's after the ones that are archived as "Public" versions - the archived ones date back to at least 2006 or earlier. What is pictured there came later on and were among the first batch of attempts to revamp the experience. Sadly I do not think any copies of those exist.

    You just described the Orientation process that existed as Orientation Island and that was archived as Orientation Island Public. From there users were teleported to another set of Islands which resemble the two Public Help Islands in existence now as similar 'archives'.

    ah yes, yet another video wherein someone dedicates a segment to pretending to explore and examine Second Life while not really doing either and wherein at least one of the Usual Voices from these fora pretend this is somehow the normal experience for anyone or some other tidbit of absolute BS ... Yep ... SSDD on this particular front.

    Frankly this is not too different form the way it has always been and the update threads were far more than one often gets outside of specific games/platforms. At the least they're going to still do release announcements in some way.
  6. Solar Legion
    By all means, lock the thread. Leave the posts within it alone however - a record needs to be kept.

    A lot more than that is missing there, Love ...

    There are plenty of end users that seem to think that the present perks of Premium and Premium Plus do not outweigh the cost ... Many of whom use the yearly subscription option and stockpile their L$ so they can Process Credit later in the year to 'save on' that cost, even going so far as to suggest that/act as though it is the norm to do so all while ignoring that there are those who cannot take that sort of chance or that have to manage their expenses on as close to a month to month basis as is possible ... Funny that, huh? Less value to such people while there are those who have to manage things a bit more finely that obviously find more value ....

    Ah yes, and Linden Lab's most recent addition finally gets dragged into the "discussion" (in an off handed way) as though it has any merit whatsoever or as though it is what some have claimed it to be (spoiler alert, it isn't). You can stop trying to find ways to defend the original thread idea now - no defense exists. At all.

    My proof is a pair of things called post history and paying attention. What you have proposed several times now is not happening with the OP - beginning and end. There is not a single thing you can respond with that makes it otherwise. Stop. It.
  12. Solar Legion
    Oh yay! Two more stores for me to favorite/watch!
  13. Solar Legion
    Locked? Probably. Removed? No. Not even with edited posts/removed responses. Leave it as is and roll back any edits made in attempt to clean up one's image/pretend things were not said. ETA: Yes, I'm quite irked and have been beyond fed up with some of this - it is well beyond time for some users to have to own their words.

    Shops come and go all the time with no guarantee their products will remain usable whatsoever Breedables are one heck of a 'gamble' in this regard. Doubly so for any that do not allow for making them 'permanent' in some way Ignorance of the Covenant stipulations is no excuse whatsoever - if you're not going to read it in enough detail to make sure you don't get hit by a Report ... Don't go renting or picking up a parcel there

    Putting this into its own post/response here as well: This thread is - as is usual for the OP's MO - a half and half thread. Half serious and half trolling - the latter is in the presentation (over the top honestly) but the overall premise is dead serious. The entire thing is so out of touch and over the top as to be beyond ridiculous. As is this notion of reporting anyone who dares to be honest. It is here partly for the Drama as one can easily figure out just by the fact that it was announced that the OP is sending in Reports as opposed to simply Reporting and moving on.
  16. Solar Legion
    M'kay ... So the usual from one poster and now another diving deeply into the conspiracy/paranoia hole ... It is exactly what it appears to be on the surface as anyone who has bothered to pay attention over the years could tell you - no "social engineering" or any such BS happening here. Stop it.

    Unless a user is bombarding you using more than one account ... You can block a user from sending you DM/PMs here on the forum and block them from sending you IMs in world as well. after that all you need to do is open your inbox one last time and delete/close the existing messages.

    I see that we are still coming up with "solutions" in search of a "problem"
  19. Solar Legion
    I see we're doubling down on the "think of the children" angle ("younger people") ... No, younger users aren't going to be so easily taken in by such a dialog box as they're by and large used to such things as spoofing attempts. and will be on guard/paying slightly more attention.
  20. Solar Legion
    There is no need to put up another blog post showcasing the official dialog boxes - if it looks like the llTextBox input, it is not "official". There is also no need to "rewrite" the function as these dialogs do not look anything whatsoever like the actual, Viewer based inputs that would be used for such information. ... Anyone got a drink? An edible perhaps?
  21. Solar Legion
    More and more evidence piles up these days showcasing why the enforced politeness here is a detriment ...
  22. Solar Legion
    If you honestly think the Text Box is "official looking" .... It is beyond time to go through that open door and pack it in. This is a function that has existed for the majority of the time Second Life has been around. It is a function everyone has seen in use at least once - if you're going to claim you have not, sit down and peddle those wares elsewhere. I do so love how every single excuse in the playbook is now being dragged out in a desperate attempt to frame this as an actual problem that needs a solution .... Beyond the ones we already have in place, such as the simple fact that no TPV or even Linden Lab will use such a dialog in the manner this thread has been covering. Someone got hooked thanks to being distracted - that is indeed bad. They need to do what they can to recover their account. If some of you are really so adamant on your stances ... Just petition Linden Lab to shut Second Life down entirely and be done with it - everyone will be "protected" then, now won't they?
  23. Solar Legion
    Peeve: People trying to solve a 'problem' as old as the Internet (older if you look at the varied forms) that has no proper, workable solution. You cannot protect everyone from their own foolishness or gullibility - get over it, deal with it, drop it and move on with your life. Steps are already taken to mitigate quite a bit and help as many as possible within reason. People will fall through the cracks - aid them in fixing their mistake and move on.
  24. Solar Legion
    The problem is not passwords. The problem is users/people.
  25. Solar Legion
    Frankly and bluntly - Linden Lab has already done what they can reasonably do while also not taking extreme measures or absolutely breaking functions. If this does not satisfy a user ... Well the door is right over there.
