Ah yes, I'm an arse for pointing out the very obvious.... Especially after some of the conclusions that were jumped to.

No.

Paranoia at its finest...

Snapzilla - seriously, use it.

I needed that laugh today. *hugs both of you*

Question one, regarding IM hacking: No. Question two, regarding location tracking: Not without scripts. Those are the short answers. To expound slightly on the second (and add to Maddy's post above): Users have a tendency to add Picks to their profiles while at locations they frequent or while at home, in both cases the Pick often has nothing to do with the location it was created at. Because so many log in "At Home" it is trivial to guess that the most frequent location used for Picks may well be a user's Home location. That covers that particular case. If you have friends, they have the option of sharing their location with you and vice versa.

While I do agree that Ipecac misinterpreted what Lindall wrote ... Unfortunately, misinterpretation comes in many forms. One of these is indeed ascribing a meaning to the written/typed word that was not intended and does indeed rest with the one reading. However "everyone" interpreting a statement a particular way does not mean said way is correct. Take it from someone often on the speaker/typist/writer end of that - others inserting their own thoughts/reasoning/mindset into what I say/type/write.

That's nice. You understand just fine, you're arguing just to argue. This isn't even the first time you've done this. Enough. Seriously, enough.

Two short answers for you: No and not without scripts.

As to the topic at hand ... User X inflates their traffic count by using alternate accounts or unregistered bot accounts and thus "tricking" other users that link traffic with popularity .... Who the heck cares? For web based search, traffic was long ago removed as any truly major influence on the results. Legacy search? If you're going by traffic, you're doing it wrong - many of course, having been doing it wrong for a very long time.

Oh for .... Such an oh so lovely derail over what ought to be a simple enough concept to grasp: s/he is read or spoken as "she" or "he" - it is contextual and like it or not just as correct as using "they" and derivatives. Now would the two of you knock it off? It is bad enough that one of you is notorious for not backing down and trying to use semantics to "win" an argument or "debate" that either is not even present or that you bloody well started in the first place while the other purposely acts obtuse (depending on the topic) in an attempt to garner responses. Enough, grow up.

Oh for ... So, which is it hmm? Should users post to a pre-existing thread if they have something to add or have a comment to make or should they make a new thread? Make up your (collective) minds. Better yet - see a thread that is obviously fairly old? Move right on by if you're that put out. And yes, you can tell how old a thread is: Right under the bloody title it tells you who started it and when. Most recent post is over on the right with the forum avatar of said recent poster. This is something present even when the forum has auto sized to Mobile view.

It generally depends on the venue and on rarer occasions, which species.

I'm no longer an active merchant Alyona (and have not been such for a long time) - my statement comes from the perspective of a consumer and simple common sense. Tying the Marketplace merchant side block function to the "in world" communication block list was the "easiest" method they could have used and the one that presents the most potential and actual problems. Blocking communications does not always equate to a desire to block a purchase, as odd as that may sound.

Problem with that Whirly is that not everyone has that issue - it does not seem to affect all Bento avatars or avatar parts.

Do note, Drake, that for simple skeleton issues you do not need to hit the one marked as Skeleton and animation. just Skeleton works fine.

And? That list is - at best - unreliable.

In other words, the "easiest" method they could have used and the one that presents the most problems in the end. Gee, and some wondered why there were users who said such a function was a bad idea ...

Not really, no. You have to individually set online presence permission for those in your friend list and while you can set a flag to show you as "offline" to those not on your friend list... All scripts can still see if you are online or not and no, you cannot prevent this nor has Linden Lab accepted any JIRA entries requesting this behavior be changed - for good reason too as quite a few things require the ability to tell your status.

Waiting in the wings, as usual.

No.

As amusing as that would be ...

Oh lovely, this topic made its way over here ... Got a gambling addiction? Get help. No seriously, get help. As for the laws being made in some countries: Each and every one that does so is in need of a serious reality check.
