2) It protects the creation from getting broken
No it doesn't. It only prevents the end user from fixing it if it does break.
1 hour ago, Codex Alpha said:4) To protect IP or to discourage reverse engineering a product
Nothing you do with permissions can stop me from stealing or reverse engineering your product if I really want to (other than scripts, which has been covered already).
1 hour ago, Codex Alpha said:6) No matter what, the customer is protected anyway, as the product can be redelivered at any time
That can be done no matter what permissions are on it.
The other three are simply anti-consumer, so we're still at "no good reason for it".

My guess is they don't care about SL at all. A company doesn't buy something like Tillia because they think it's nifty and they just gotta help LL and their customers. A company buys Tillia because they intend do something with it to make a profit from it.

People seem to be in such a hurry to don their tinfoil hats these days. Scoffs.

All I know for sure is that we can expect fees to increase again.

Quite a few (50%?) play a character they are not in RL and that figure is probably low considering we are predominantly 45+ and yet have avatars which rarely look over 30.
When 50% of the avatars in SL are against SL's rules, I'm sure we'll be able to have an interesting discussion. Right now saying something like that is nonsense.
You're stringing words together with that reply, but it has so little to do with what I said it might as well be "Potato on the upside down my pants napkin."

Whatever gives you the idea that one chooses their avatar for a therapeutic outlet?
Because you said, twice now,

If you need so badly for your avatar to be something that's borderline against the rules and you can't possibly tweak it to solve the problem, that indicates something else is going on there.

What's your source for your stats? As far as I know, that information isn't published anywhere and we can only guess, which makes my guess as good as yours.

We should also put the myth aside that we are a "small minority" in SL. Child avatar make up a significant portion of the SL user base. I've heard as high as 20% in some cases, but even I doubt that it's that high.
Would be nice if we had real stats. My guess is it's low single digits.
Even if it were as high as 20%, that's still not a significant enough portion to risk legal consequences.

Banned from the platform, not a region.
Considering that that would completely counter all the inclusivity messaging and events and narrative that LL pushes, I suspect being banned simply for being a femboy is not happening often.

That depends on whether one chooses and avatar as a character they play or an extension of themselves from r/l.
SL is not the place to come to if you need that badly to have that sort of therapeutic outlet.

There been reports in places where femboys are being targeted for the witch hunts. Banned without recourse. That makes it not so much of a stretch as there is quite a number of them.
That's a resident to resident dispute and has nothing to do with what LL is talking about.
Edit: Additionally, residents can ban people from their parcels for any reason at all or no reason, that's well established.

Again there is no way you can spin more rules on a significant part of the user base and make it fair.
I suspect "significant part" is a stretch.
What's actually being talked about is a small minority of residents that by right shouldn't be in that position to begin with.
Not to mention, choosing that avatar is entirely optional. It's a bit like choosing to commute to work in the biggest SUV you can find and then being upset that the roads feel too small and you can't get into certain parking spaces.

That's the fun of it, at least in my case. It doesn't have to. Just knowing it's getting any reaction is enough for me!

Then you are seeing their chat through a chat extender that is placed somewhere in the parcel you are in. If you are on Firestorm, you can try to find it using Area Search and mute it also.
If you can't find the chat extender, not much you can do.
@Qie Niangaois there a way to find something without using Area Search? I know you know.
If it's an object, you should be able to click on it and get map coordinates.

On 4/20/2024 at 2:13 PM, Charlotte Bartlett said:The only reason I have PP is for texture upload especially with PBR initially.
If they are excluding 2K textures or even not providing a stipend towards then to counter cost for creators, I will simply cancel my PP (I pay enough with region fees x 4 too). There still remains no PP aligned to creators/merchants despite the requests since 2010 onwards for them to recognise this user case.If anything, 2k uploads should cost significantly more. I'd be fine with as high as 500 L$.
Otherwise, creators will abuse it. Full stop. That's not even a debate. We already see 1024 on jewelry and buttons and zippers and countless other objects where it does nothing but tank our FPS.

What Justification Is There For No Mod Permissions?
in General Discussion Forum
Posted
As a matter of fact, a broken, no mod item is more likely to be stolen. I have a mesh head in my inventory from a very prominent creator that has buggy materials on it. I contacted the creator, who said "We've moved on from that version, updates are in the new version." which was not a free update.
It would be extremely easy for me, if I were so inclined, to turn it into a full perm head and fix it myself. Unfortunately I only like to push the rules, not break them.
