Oh for cripe sake .... The user was already told about sim wide access lists, had the effectiveness explained concerning the use cases they brought up and they asked a few more, specific questions.

.... Keep up, pay attention. If you're paying Linden Lab directly, you have full Estate level access and can set a group to have access to the sim itself. This does not prevent those in the group from being arses.

No Fly is ineffective period. That was the question being answered there - you can teleport in while flying and still be flying - among other circumvention methods. That is what was being asked, that is what was answered.

I am aware. Their question included having a general group set to the sim itself while adding further restrictions to individual parcels. This does not prevent those in the group circumventing the "privacy" said user seems to want.

Ban lists have an upper limit to them - you can only ban so many users. And no on the no fly. Circumventable - teleport in from another sim while flying.

Mainland Tier - yes. "Private" Island - no. Those are $249 a month.

That is rather ineffective at preventing a user from being able to hover above the parcel - unless Linden Lab changed the access restriction behavior, the only method for keeping users out of any parcel is an explicit ban on a specific user/set of users. Now the OP could set the sim itself to be access restricted but only if they went through Linden Lab directly. Sim rental from a Land Baron wouldn't include that level of control - otherwise there'd be no way to ensure said Baron's employees could access the sim.

No Fly can be circumvented - easily. If you're already flying when you enter the parcel/sim, you'll continue to fly. In the context of Second Life a "private" party only means "restricted access" - that's it, that's all. As explained earlier, said access restrictions have hard coded limits.

Again, there is a limited range within the parcel where such access restriction is able to be enforced. Anyone allowed on the sim itself would be able to simply hover above the "ban line" area and adjust their camera to see who is there. There is no such thing as true privacy within Second Life nor was it designed with such in mind. This is not a mistake in design - being able to see another user's avatar has absolutely no impact whatsoever in most circumstances. The ability to have avatars on a given parcel be invisible to those outside of the parcel came about when sim designations changed from simply General/Mature to General/Moderate/Adult. This was done so that you could still have "Adult" content sitting on a Moderate rated sim with little "fear" of being reported and action being taken on said report. It has nothing to do with what you consider "privacy" at all.

Not how the visibility setting works at all. Said setting makes those on the parcel itself - up to a certain altitude - invisible to those not "on" the parcel, as determined by the sim software.

Outside of what Pamela stated? No - there isn't. Welcome to Second Life - time to rethink your idea of "privacy" or otherwise pay it no mind whatsoever. You can set the option Pamela mentioned earlier but it does nothing useful as long as you allow any level of access to your parcel. Setting parcel level (not sim wide) access to a Whitelist is ineffective as said Whitelist only has a specific range, ditto for Group Only access. This means that really, all one has to do is hover just above the boundary and move their camera down to see you.

Unless spamming, "Necroposting" isn't a reportable offense. No, posting to several old threads is not spamming.

I see some are still up to their usual shenanigans ....

The Osprey or the Osiris?

That's SOP for at least two of the users that have posted in the last page ....

I have several items from Hybrid (one of the first stores to sell Animal/Human Hybrid parts), avatars from The Lost Furrest/Lost Furrest Creatures, several IoW dragons (including adults) and one particular item that - while not made by a well known creator - still holds a special place for me. One of the friends I made early on in Second Life went about testing some of the limits of LSL as well as stress testing (often accidentally) the sim servers. I asked her one day if she could make me a double ended throwing Scythe, which she did ... and then took that further by making a "Scythe" Crossbow - no it did not fire Scythes, it was a Crossbow whose arms were scythe blades. What makes this special to me? The bolt ammunition was varied: Multi-bolt spreads/rains, "status effects", "Elemental" bolts (most using particle effects), two that dropped things at the impact point - a Meteor Bolt and a Sheep Dropper, and one which rezzed five Sheep that ran at the impact point as if part of a Stampede. Why do I consider it worth mentioning at all? Because of the physics engine at the time of its creation, if you fired too many Sheep Droppers, too quickly (you could set the firing rate as part of the configuration options) ... You'd bring down an entire aim thanks to the physics calcs.

Want to discuss broader topics than the Linden Lab run forums allow for? Make your own Forum or go to one that already exists - there are a few. Problem solved.

"Add" is the fix for "Wear" - as you'd well know if you bothered to dig even a little into Second Life's general and feature histories. What you should be asking is when/if Linden Lab will ever correctly name the two functions: "Wear & Replace" and "Wear & Add to .."

Ah, of course ... Of course the Forum Contrarian would do his usual thing... Urgent Matters: Billing issues, Linden Dollar buying/selling issues, overturning wrongful ToS flags and similar issues. There are people who believe their particular issue is Absolutely Critical and must therefore take precedence over all other issues/tickets. They're wrong - period. Stow the attitude, file your tickets properly and use Live Support if it's that bloody critical to you. That's it. That's all. You're a Paying Customer? That's nice, get in line, there are a few more customers who've paid, ahead of you. Some with actually Urgent Matters.

Sit down, learn to phrase your tickets properly, have patience and remember that what you believe is an "urgent" matter means jack squat. Consistently getting the same wait time while others aren't? Either your issue isn't as time critical as you believe it to be or you routinely bungle your wording. Either way? Live support does exist - find a time to use it. Nope, don't care what time zone you're in - if it's that critical to you, just do it.

That's nice. You're also quite wrong in your assessment, hence (in part) the disbelieving, disagreeing laughter. You have options, some have been laid out for you. Use them. Your responses thus far speak volumes - you don't want options. You don't want information.

Unless something has recently changed ... No. You most certainly can mix gifts and personal items in the exact same cart. Oh and by "recently" I mean since December 19, 2018.

That has been there for a couple of months at the very least.

Ah yes, pointing out your options is "trolling" ... Welcome to public fora. Don't want other users pointing out your options? Make a blog post and lock it down.

If someone is going to gift you a collar, they had better make certain that any instructions are sent along with it at the minimum.
