Rex Cronon

ok. fixed the voting station. it was set to accept votes only from members on my site. now, i am looking for a public place besides my store where i can put it so others can vote.

@Toysoldier Thor: -come on. at least a 24 hours notice before holding a meeting would be appreciated:) @Czari Zenovka: -sadly ll functions used for encryption don't always work, so you need to try a few times.

the easier way is to go to my store in-world(Alston (116, 45, 26)) and to look for "rcdsBlogVote:Do you want ll to change their TOS?". there are 3 big numbered boxes inside a hollow white box. each box is a option. just click on the one that shows your choice. than u can go to the website and check that your vote was recorded correctly. by using the voting station u won't become a member on my site. the other way is to go to my store in-world and get the green ball(PassXToken and the red box that are to the right of voting station. first u rez red box(MembershipToken) and click on it. by clicking on it u become a member on my site. u will be given a password that can be used to generate a passx which in turn is used to authenticate(everything on my site) any vote. if u rez the green ball and click on it u will be given a passx value that u can use to vote on line without having to use the voting station in-world. to check that your vote was recorded correctly, on the poll page scroll down to the votes section and click on "VIEW" link. do not change what is in "blog id" text field. inside the "user name" field you should enter "llsl:" followed by your sl user name. for example i would enter "llsl:Rex Cronon"

My poll was made to show how many people want the tos changed. You don't like the tos because it cuts off too many of your resource, others don't like it for other reasons. What matters is that people vote and show where they stand. Hopefully there are people inside ll that are favorable towards a tos change. If enough votes are gathered than it can be used as supportive evidence that the tos should be changed.

Ok. I filled a ticket and after some back and forth communications the problem was resolved. It seems that I should have put it in the tools section. So much trouble for such little thing. lol. LL could have just moved it to the right section and send a notification. So much drama could have been avoided. jeez.

Do you think that the new ll tos is draconian? Maybe you think is poorly written? Do you want ll to change the the tos? Than come and vote here: http://rcds.nfshost.com/blog_show.php/?id=_blog_09262013091334_llsl=Rex-Cronon Lets show to ll that we stand united. If enough of us do it, than maybe ll will listen. After all we are its customers and supporters. We are the users and creators of the things that fill this virtual word. I don't know what are our chances of success, but I know that is better than doing nothing.

@Czari Zenovka: -i usually go to sandbox weapons testing(SWT) or rausch. the problem is that there aren't a "kazillion other sandboxes" that let let you test weapons. -u see i don't fight fire with fire. what i use doesn't crash the sim. it doesn't even lag the sim. usually at least it makes things a little better for a short while and allows other defence systems to be deployed. sometimes it can even stop a sim crash from happening:) ---------------------------------------- @Perrie Juran: -i have good news for u. griefers don't always win:) u give them too much credit. its only a handful that r smart. u see there r also smart people that aren't griefers. good people can stick together too. -i am not altruistic. i sell this. -there aren't many sims that allow testing/usage of weapons. -my device its a tool. a scalpel in rl, can be used to both save a life or take one. its just a tool. its not right nor wrong. the one who use it is the one that is responsible. -its your opinion. u don't need to apologize for it. i don't take it personally. ---------------------------------------- look guys. the first problem is that i wasn't notified when my item was removed. the second problem is that no reason was given for the removal. this leads me to believe there was glitch/error. if it wasn't a glitch/error that means that i was on purpose targeted. that is unlawful. the rules r the same for everybody. if my item was removed than every weapon or combat hud that might cause problems has to be removed also from the mp. especially those that r meant for griefing.

lol. ok. i think i get it:) the problem is that if i were to do that i might get in hot water:)

as i said earlier this product was made to be used in public sandboxes owned by ll, although it could be used by landowners too. if u were to spend some time on public sandboxes owned by ll, quite soon u would realize that there r griefers that like to rezz thousands of physical prims that generate lots of lag and can even crash the sim. sadly when such sims are crashed or enter into strange malfunctioning states it sometimes takes ll days or even weeks to bring them up or to reset them:( therefore there are two sides that are at war. one side tries to bork/crash the public sandboxes owned by ll, the other side tries to keep the sim running. this device is meant to help keep the sim running(in some cases it can't). if the lindens were to respond faster to ARs than indeed there would be no need for such a device(hmmm, maybe there r others cases that such a device could be useful for). there r quiet a few exploits that ll knows about but sadly haven't been fixed yet for different reasons. quite a few private sims are islands or if they r not, they usually belong to same person. therefore there is little chance on pushing prims onto others land. other sims allow only members and their objects to enter, so u can't possibly push things into them. i said that objects r pushed off the sim. since a sim has only 4 edges and 4 corners it is only logical that u can only push things into the neighbourhood sims. besides, if somebody is not sure how it works they can always ask for a demo before purchase.

i heard that a protest against the new tos is being organized on october 12, 13 and 14. and everybody is supposed to boycot mp and to stop uploadind content. is that a joke or is it for real?

sadlly, one does not exclude the other:(

-that is a different device, and the deluxe version of that i don't sell it on mp. the sweeper pushes physical objects out. the anticrash does something else that in some situations at least slows down some types of sim crashers. -come on. i am not going to give an instruction manual on how to grief with the atigriefer. that would be so ironic:) -this sweeper is mostly intended for public sandboxes owned by ll where u don't have access to parcel/sim administrative/managment functions. even if u r the land owner this could still serve as a fast response that could reduce lag and allow u to possibly clean up things faster. it depends on what the sim is attacked with.

usually this happens in public sandboxes. and usually these sandboxes have at least one edge that is not connected to any sim, so most of them end up outside the sim and are either returned or disappear. it is possible that some get pushed into the neighboring sim(s). either way usually the lag stop, unless those things r self-replicators.

sorry, but i don't understand what are u trying to say. please explain.

if u have ever been to a sim that is being griefed by thousands of physical megaprims than u know how everthing lags so much that even scripts don't run. i made a physical object sweeper that works in these extreme conditions and pushes all the trash out of the sim. the lindens in their infinite wisdom decided to remove it, or maybe was just a mistake, an error? there was no email notice sent to me about it nor was a reason for removal given. this is unjust. there r combat huds that r allowed to be on the mp even though they r used for griefing. why would the lindens remove an anti-griefing item? or maybe combat huds r next on the chopping block? guns too? maybe even car will be considered to be too dangerous? i submited a case but i have no idea what the response will be.

there is also a thread here: http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/general-sl-discussion/87012-second-life-license-change-implies.html imo this change to the tos feels like a punch bellow the belt:(

lol. i am not checking all of them every second. most once a day and only a few more than once. others are just for reference. i would need to be either superman or flash to do it that fast:)

I think I understand what u r trying to say, but your analogy is not entirely correct. Firefox opens a connection only when I load/reload a page and after that closes it. Ll's viewer opens connections and keeps them open for as long as it runs and/or opens and closes them at its own pleasure. In theory the viewer should be affected only when I use firefox to download something. The problem was at my end but was not my fault. The problem seems to be that both firefox and ll's viewer might be suffering from poor design, implementation and testing.

The correct short answer is: ll's viewer and firefox don't play nice with each other. p.s. Your comment is illogical. Why would u say "The user was at fault"? R u trolling?

Please read the full post. I found out by myself what was wrong.

Its obviously a typo. I am quite sure it should read "outstanding notifications"

Anonymity brings out the "best" in people. It is like this almost everywhere on the internet. At least, this time no flame war got started. Sadly one needs to grow a relatively thick skin in order to survive now days on the internet:( I always clean my notifications on login, so it wasn't that. Until july 21 I have been using viewer 1.23.5 so maybe that spared me of the problems with the server side baking. It could be possible that something that I was wearing got corrupted and maybe my old viewer protected me? I had about three days of no problems on the main grid, and on the 25th when I had first time problems to stay logged more than a few seconds on the beta all those problems with the SSB should have been fixed. The weird part is that I started having similar problems on the 27th on the main grid too. At that time all these problems should have been fixed on the main grid. Although I did have problems with my appearance(my attachments were giving errors saying were attached to wrong attachment points, on logging in I was always an egg).
