    Ah yep! I'll go one further and state that if you are capable of spending that much on a L$ buy that you hit the cap ... you've little room to complain so far as I am concerned.
  2. Solar Legion
    I have never had a derendered and blacklisted object continue to cast a shadow, especially after reloggong.

    It has been explained to you in several different ways, several different times now. You have further been shown a web page with quite a bit of information on this pilot program. Sit down, stow the faux outrage. If it is actually problematic, it will be handled by the relevant authorities and because said authorities reached out. Not because some random end user threw a hissy fit.

    Read it. Read it again. Read it AGAIN. Continue to read it until it dawns on you that this is a pilot program. After that, sit back down and stow the misplaced, faux outrage.

    Considering the varied situations I have been in over the years and my other expenditures (many of which are there to help keep me 'sane') .... This is - sum total - the least expensive of my entertainment budget bits. I get that there are those who rely on Second Life as an income. I'm finding it increasingly harder to feel for some while I myself have to worry about the less than even minimum wage (far less) I have to work with each and every month plus the insane cuts to things like SNAP (I am going to have to start getting creative now to make some things stretch out). I am fast approaching the levels of "I don't want to hear it" one often sees in the most jaded members of the populace ....

    Fixed income here. Guess what does not affect me as badly as some here would have you think? That's right - the L$ buy fee increase. Why? I don't go buying enough to be affected. $25-30 at the start of the month for my 4096 on a PI plus a little left over. Stipend offsets a little more on occasion. If need be I'll snap up an item from the MP using RL sources directly (which has been an option for quite some time so there is no reason to have an MP dedicated to such). A grip. Get one. Comparing SL to VRC et al? No comparison - none, period. Leave it at the door until such places have the same overhead and identical avatar/inventory systems (why yes, I use VRC. No, I do not see it as even close to SL in any way). The rest of this thread? Noise and a handful of the usual suspects drumming up their usual drama. Like it or not (and I don't - do not think otherwise) something was going to have to give, some increase in a fee somewhere. It will happen again later down the road. Unavoidable. Believe otherwise? Go and make an exact clone, using the same software, hosting services/tier and with employees you actually need to pay. Until then? You haven't a single clue. No, no smarmy backtalk. You don't have a single clue.

    That is normal for certain users here and is an attitude that one sadly can find out i the wild. It's a lovely marker for those to avoid.

    There are TPVs that allow you to derender/blacklist objects. Short of moving (you can file an AR if you wish, I do not know if LL will bother with something like this) ... a TPV with such an option may be your only option. I use one myself for similar reasons (general removal of things in view from my skydome home on a PI).
  9. Solar Legion
    That's nice, Zal.

    I'll be very brutally honest: If you're not capable of separating out the ones saying it is optional from the ones that badger and push, the problem is on you. If you somehow read that into the response you were quoting that is also on you.
  11. Solar Legion
    ... There is no reason whatsoever to "Voice Verify" (or any sort of 'verification') where RP is concerned. None. Period. It is Second Life - for the purposes of RP, you're interacting with the character or avatar on screen almost exclusively. It's the same BS as from the older Text Chat room days. The excuses are all the same too. As is the reality: Such 'verification' is the purview of the paranoid/insecure/etc.
  12. Solar Legion
    And right on cue ...
  13. Solar Legion
    A good number of those items were made during a time when creators actually bothered to have their items attach to proper, sensible and varied points on the body as opposed to just using the default (Right Hand) and pretending it is perfectly fine because"it doesn't care where it is attached to, it is rigged mesh!" Back then it didn't often matter because the average user wasn't likely to have anything on that particular attachment point. Anthromorphs usually would (and let me tell you, that got irksome even then) but still ...
  14. Solar Legion
    Here we are - people pretending that there's some massive problem that needs to be solved that is in actuality caused by lag (out of their control), simply not paying attention (within their control) and/or being in too much of a rush (also within their control) - among other things which all amount to the following: This is a non-issue that has a solution which has already been outlined and which does not require the moving or removal of a function. Imagine that! I don't care how much it frustrates some - this falls into the above categories.
  15. Solar Legion
    I'm aware, yes. I just don't care much - I take my time and ensure my cursor is where I intend it to be for precisely that reason. A habit I learned elsewhere. A habit that frankly and in my own opinion everyone ought to have. If it is not time critical, take your time.
  16. Solar Legion
    There are times I will take a step back, times I will also toss someone temporarily into the Ignore list as well. In this instance ... was already somewhat frazzled before checking my messages. Considering how I do things in the morning .... Not a good thing to be, prior to my coffee. and I tend to read the forums both prior to coffee and while drinking the first two cups.
  17. Solar Legion
    Sick and tired of people refusing to listen, constantly acting as though everyone is out to get them and (unrelated to the first two) pretending that their on inattentiveness is somehow the fault of a UI designer!
  18. Solar Legion
    That's nice. If your intention was to ask a question, you should have asked the question and waited for a response. Point blank I am quite tired of this same BS being played out time and time again. Be done. Learn nothing. Continue to react the exact same way to everything. Continue to be offended by things that were not said/continue to give the wrong impressions with your words.
  19. Solar Legion
    I'll make this simple: I don't care. The two are different functions and if you're conflating them ... your problem. I've already stated that the proper course of action should be to make it clear that Wear replaces whatever is on the target attachment point. That there ought to be proper documentation as well as a tooltip for it. Mouse cursor slipped? That's nice! Having the function grouped with Add and the Attach options makes perfect sense. Not paying attention? On you.

    I see what appears to be a rhetorical question - not an honest one. A 'question' was asked and the following text proceeds as if an answer was already given. As far as taking stalking from RL into SL ... That is the purview of real life law enforcement, same as if someone decides to take their stalking of someone from an online community into RL - if it moves to or originates from RL, it's an RL issue to be handled RL. As I have already stated - now three different times, using three different wordings. Have a genuine question? Ask it. Do not ask it and then proceed onward as if it was already answered or as if you do not wish to have an answer. I've very little patience for even seemingly rhetorical questions, for the foreseeable future. Question. Wait for Answer. React after getting the answer. As for attempting to make someone feel inferior - Were such the intent, I'd have used a far different phrasing, one which would have run afoul of the ToS/CS. If my words carry an intent, it is an explicit intent - my words will be chosen specifically with a particular reaction in mind. Any reaction outside of such is an implicit/implied intent and reaction - firmly on the reader's end.

    Read what I said. Read it again. And again. And again. Find exactly where I said what you are claiming. The exact line and words stating such in clear writing. I'll save you the trouble: You won't. I said: " ... anyone attempting to conflate real life stalking to Second Life has immediately lost whatever 'argument' they were trying to have and nulled any 'point' they were attempting to make." This means exactly what it says. Someone stalking you within Second Life is not the same thing as being stalked in real life. If someone has moved beyond Second Life to stalk you, then you act accordingly as it is no longer just a Second Life problem. Next time, make certain you're responding to what was actually written.
  22. Solar Legion
    Congrats. Take the needed steps and move on (Report, block/mute and/or derender/blacklist). They circumvent the block? Repeat the prior steps. Repeat as many times as it takes because guess what - you cannot do much more whatsoever. Not here, not anywhere else either. And anyone attempting to conflate real life stalking to Second Life has immediately lost whatever 'argument' they were trying to have and nulled any 'point' they were attempting to make.

    The function replaces the existing item on the attach point/layer it is set to whereas Add simply tosses it on as an additional item. Remove takes off a particular item. Wear (which should be Wear and Replace) cannot do that latter - you are not right-clicking on the item you wish to Remove. The function is different - not redundant. If content creators actually bothered to have rigged mesh items attach to actually sensible points as opposed to tossing them all onto the 'default' point (Right Hand) then it would go a bit of a ways for some items in having Wear/Replace be more sensible and properly useful from the word 'Go'. As an example and a more personal one: I have several Anthropomorphic forms and a "Human" form. The Anthropomorphic forms sometimes require me to swap out what feet/footpaws I am using whereas the Human ones often end up with different shoes. "Wear/Replace" would be ideal for this sort of situation, especially if I am putting together a brand new form (which I often do piece by piece). There is no reason for me to individually go through and hit "Remove" on every single item I wish to replace.
  24. Solar Legion
    "Easiest" and "sensible" are not often the same thing. Removal of a function is also not always a solution - just a way to ignore related issues.
  25. Solar Legion
    That's nice. If LL ever listens to such broad changes they will end up breaking things far worse than they have prior. If you do not believe such then you have not been paying attention at all. As for taking the time to actually go through a proper tutorial or to read a tooltip or similar: Translations are a thing as far as language barriers go. beyond that, if you're in too much of a hurry or too lazy to bother paying attention to even a tooltip ... That is on you, beginning and end. More "basic" functions (Such as the Wear function) should be covered by the Tutorial and have at least a tooltip explaining them. More advanced functions (actually under the hidden away Advanced menu or ones that the average user won't be touching on most days (Terraforming functions as a 'minor' example)) ought to have better documentation that a user can go to. If you honestly believe that the above is "No Changes" then ... You may continue to be wrong without being questioned further anywhere from this point forward. You may continue in the childish belief that sensible, smaller changes are "No Change" uncontested from this point forward as well. It is obvious that you do not care nor will you listen to anything whatsoever that does not contain larger scale or broader changes on anything whatsoever. ETA: As far as the latter half of that 'response' of yours goes ... That is also, nice. You entirely missed the point and wish to pretend that being sensible is not a solution while pretending that the issues lie somewhere other than their sources. Being able to be attached anywhere does not excuse the practice of putting every single rigged item on the exact same attachment point. That needs to stop. There being not even a basic explanation of how layers work is indeed a failing on LL's part and needs to be rectified. "No Changes" my right buttock ...
