    ... 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.

    And right on cue ...
  3. 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 ...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
  9. 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.
  12. 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.
  14. 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.

    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 ...
  16. Solar Legion
    That is on the item Creator, especially in the present age (Rigged Mesh and such). There really is no excuse for near everything to be set to the same attachment point, even with the way rigged mesh functions. As far as layers go: That is a failing on LL's part for not covering that in the tutorials or in an easy to see bit of documentation/a tooltip.
  17. Solar Legion
    Not what was said or implied whatsoever - enough of this BS. A change has been suggested, one that actually makes sense (as opposed to "Oh iz too hard for meh!! This must go!!") - Rename the function and provide some form of documentation/tooltip as to its function and/or a bit in the tutorial covering it. Not hard to grasp and is indeed a change. A change that makes actual sense.
  18. Solar Legion
    Not the first time this has come up. The response is still the same: All that might be good to have happen is for it to be renamed to Wear & Replace or Wear/Replace and perhaps an explanation as either part of the onboarding tutorial or as a tooltip. That's it. That's all. That is - as far as I am concerned - the proper course of action.

    Help -> Report Abuse -> Choose -> Near Me tab ((or if you log your IMs and they sent you one ... Go grab their name from there and use Search within that same floater) - assuming FS, default/other TPVs may have a somewhat different configuration). No reason whatsoever to unblock anyone. The remainder of the post is a prime example of how not to go about Second Life (or the Internet in general) on top of a wide range of other issues that belong solely to the poster.

    It is very telling that some of the users here act as though there isn't a Report system that should be used if the need arises. It is further telling that these same users pretend that the advice/solution to make use of the stock Block/Mute as well as any additional TPV features (Derender/Blacklist and such) does not include filing an Abuse Report as a matter of course, where applicable. It does not need to be stated - if you're being harassed, you file the Report. You then use the existing tools. You do this for every single Alt that shows up, if the harassing user is even slightly serious about their harassment/abuse. You do not respond to them. You do not give them any satisfaction. You do not give them anything after that first interaction. They also utterly fail to realize that the two way blocking they've been pushing would be a visual indicator of a 'response'. While also failing to recognize that there is nothing whatsoever stopping such a person from rolling up a new Alt, decking it out in some ARable manner (one which would affect their target as well if ARed) and having someone in on it file a report. No. The proposed "feature" is a non-starter. Use what is available. Stop responding/rising to the attempts. If they go the RL route at any point get the proper authorities involved if you're concerned.
  21. Solar Legion
    Both within SL and here on the forum, such a list is as long or as short as I require it to be at that given moment with the former comprised more of objects (derender/blacklist/scripts/etc) than accounts.
  22. Solar Legion
    Furthermore what has been taking place is not any sort of 'discussion' ... and every time this comes up, the same users pretend to be aiming for 'discussion' and never do. The same 'suggestions' and 'points of discussion' have been brought up time and time again and each time they have it explained why their idea will not work out, why it is a bad idea ... The entire nine yards. At this point it is clear that they're not looking for a 'discussion' ... and never were.
  23. Solar Legion
    That's nice. The viable solution is to do exactly as stated by myself and others in this thread. You are ot the system administrator, those are the tools you have, you have had it repeatedly explained to you. Enough is enough. It comes to mind because you're looking at real world stalking (among other things). Congratulations - not the same thing, at all, period. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And with that, I'm not going to bother responding much to either, not in this thread. Find better "arguments" instead of regurgitating the same, tired bits over and over again.
  24. Solar Legion
    Point blank for those that do not seem to understand: You not being able to see those you have blocked is the entire point of the feature. You have decided you do not wish to interact with/see them. This idea some have of such types (griefers and such) being "loners" is utterly false as well. Having it go both ways is quite pointless on just the above (and all that has been mentioned in this thread) alone. Furthermore it does not extend to anyone around you so the potential ability to cause issues still exists in one form or another. Someone especially invested in causing you problems will circumvent the block and will take things further with each step, especially if they are aware of how it is affecting you. Block, Mute, Derender/blacklist and move right on. Short of canceling your own account or yourself having administrative access to head them off at the pass (good luck), there's nothing else you can do within Second Life itself to combat it. Welcome to reality.
  25. Solar Legion
    The blocking as is is quite effective - you are blocking them which means you cannot properly see them nor can they properly interact with you anymore. A full Mute and Block turns them gray on your end as well as blocking messages and transactions. If you're using some TPVs you can also opt to Derender/Blacklist an Avatar which wholly removes them from your view. This is all one needs. They can still see you - big whoop. If they're in the same groups as you, they can still see your name in there and when you were last on. Some scripted systems can still report your online status (by design) and some TPVs even still report blocked/muted/derendered/blacklisted avatars as part of their radar systems. Block/mute (and derender/blacklist if using a TPV that supports such) and move on.
