Pray tell how we ignore ban lines at the end of our runway? Would be great if muting/ignoring people would allow us to pass through them.

The Airport owner sould be working with her on the issue to resolve it. because of that persons ban lines it makes the airport undesirable. This is mainland. Anything goes. Anyone that's asked her about it has been put on the ban list. Including me. Means we can't even fly over it anymore. At this rate, we're either going to have to move the airport, or find some way to be super annoying within the TOS to make her leave.

From the link you provided: "If the parcel is simply not pubic access or restricted to certain Residents/groups, then the lines go up to 50 m above the terrain mesh." These are the most common ban lines that you'll find. My neighbor has this type of ban lines and I can fly over them all day long. I can also get out of any vehicle, fly my avatar over their parcel, press F to turn off fly mode, and trampoline on an invisible field. It's the explicit named bans that go up higher. IIRC, they used to only go to about 800 meters. Today, I believe they actually go to about 5000 meters. She may have some people banned by name, but for everyone else, the lines stop at 50m AGL. The ban lines this land owner is using are not only doing absolutely nothing to protect her skybox, they could actually be driving curious people into the sky to figure out why there's ban lines on the ground protecting empty land. Bingo.

We're getting the one that isn't priced by a **bleep**ing retard." Ahhh, NOW it becomes clear. We have a conflict between a neighbor who doesn't understand ban lines and an airport administration who understand neither the importance of clearway nor having a community-relations officer without a long history of lacking interpersonal skills. A real-world solution would be to issue a NOTAM and new approach charts to have takeoffs and landings go the opposite way on the runway and to establish a minimum altitude for the region crossing - it would be similar to a noise-abatement procedure. A SL solution would be to raise the entire runway to just above ban-line altitude, which would give those not explicitly banned sufficient clearway and have the added advantage of driving the neighbor CRAZY. The inevitable spite fence that would follow would almost certainly be visible (she doesn't seem bright enough to figure out how to make an invisible one, and her brand of spite seems like she would want it visible anyway.) I'd love to change traffic to go south instead of north. The problem with that is A) Now we're heading away from the Blake and further inland, into more of this no-man's land (more skyboxes and ban lines), and B) Across the street is another skybox, literally right where the glide slope would be. It was also discussed putting a runway in the sky, but then we lose the road, and we'd have to redo the build (which was another thing discussed- going east/west instead of north/south...) Times like this, I wish there were some sort of zoning on the mainland... Or some sort of something. As it stands, it's just ugly chaos.

750 meters below their sky box, she put up ban lines. At the end of a runway of an airport between her and the Blake Sea. The reason: "I don't want people in my sky box." Worse, the ban lines are invisible. Even with the option to see ban lines turned on, because these are over a sim border, they simply don't show up. Fly up over them and land on the sky box, and you're fine. I'm not sure if this is an example of LL screwing up, or the land owner being stupid.

I think we're getting a little off topic here.

Maybe it's time to remove some of those people? Yeah, I started doing that. Pretty soon the only people on my list will be the ones that haven't logged in for months.

I've taken to giving links to the LSL wiki instead of making scripts for them, but they still ask.

'Talking for the sake of talking' is ... extremely boring, in my opinion. Good IM's: "Hey, we're down at suchandsuch club and listening to a really good live guitarist. Wanna come?' "Oh, hey, can you do a profile pic for me sometime?" "Can you tell me where you found that hair in that one pic?" Bad IM's: "Hi." "How r u?" "Wut r u doing?" "How was ur day?" "Why do u have me on ignore?" To me, that bolded option there doesn't belong with the other two. I'd love to get either of the other two from time to time- all I ever get is the "can you do [this] for me?" Never because they want to see my latest creation or show off some item or location.

Only ever IM you when they need you to write a script for them, or need a build, or need music edited... I find more and more, unless I send a message to people to make casual conversation, they only ever talk to me when they need my technical expertise. The friends I had that used to talk to me just for the sake of talking to me don't seem to use SL anymore. Do we all have "friends" like this?

Stupid advice is stupid.

I know your friends apparently can't take no for an answer. Bad friends are bad.

Been asked and answered before. Repeatedly. The answer is no. Reasons are both technological and behavioral. Your friends are the problem, not the system. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4823

Fairly easy to meet the requirements, isn't it?

I like this idea.

Wait. Does that say you can't build and you can't script, but you want to split the profits 50/50? If someone is building and scripting these, what do they need you for?

Doesn't matter how good the system is if the user is a moron. It's the same with cars.

Some agents got caught playing MMO's at work. To get out of it, they said "No, no. I'm not raiding Thunder King. I'm tracking Adam Yahiye Gadahn, he plays a blood elf rogue. That's why rogues never get a buff."
