What would be good, would be the inclusion of all stuff that is on the forums, that some of us can’t access, not through choice, but because LL and their sole appalling choice of using the Europhobic PayPal means lots of us cannot actually become premium or verify and are shut out of all that.

At the very least, inclusion of stuff that affects everybody eg how best to write low lag scripts would be useful, since many NPIOFs actually run businesses, create and spend more per month inworld than many premiums and payment info people.

Here’s what I would rather see. When you finally hit the “sell” button a window pops up, giving the description of the land, it’s SLURL, how big it is, to whom you’re selling it and for how much, and how much that equates to in L$ per square meter. You then have to click “OK” or “Back”, depending upon whether you want to go through with the process of putting that land up for sale, or correcting an error before proceeding.

Land could NOT be sold until WE agree to the POP UP on our screen. Maybe even have a warning POP UP “Do you want to agree to sale of your parcel?” Yes or No

Kinda being like a hand shake “Done Deal!

I do have a little niggle about the effectiveness of the warnings regarding land-bots.

I realise that LL wish to avoid an air of negativity, but perhaps the warnings could be a little more explicit without actually scaring the hell out of people

The current KB article contains two separate warnings.

“Warning: If you want to sell this parcel to a particular Resident, make sure you adjust this setting properly! Some Residents are capable of detecting and buying underpriced land almost as soon as it becomes publicly available”

“In situations where you wish to sell your land to a specific Resident, it is very important that you take advantage of the Sell the land to setting. Some Residents have the ability to quickly detect and buy land for sale at below market prices- selling your land to a specific Resident prevents any chance of someone else accidentally buying the land.”

How about a single explicit warning:
“Some residents run automated processes that can detect and buy underpriced land set for sale to “Anyone” as soon as the sale is set. They can buy the land immediately without you being aware of their presence.”

My feeling is that saying things like “*almost* as soon as it becomes publicly available” could lead people into thinking that they have at least some minutes before the danger could possibly arise.
Setting ‘Anyone’ is far easier to do than selecting the specific avatar standing right beside you.
Aside: Hey! How about an option to set the avatar to sell to by clicking on that avatar standing beside you?
However, back to the KB for the current process….

“…accidentally buying the land.”
This may give the entirely incorrect impression that if it does happen then a few IMs could reverse the unfortunate ‘accident’.
I know that some land-bot runners will return land, but there are other notorious ones who won’t.

The safest warning is a short uncomplicated one that warns of the worst case – that the land will be picked up immediately by an unseen party.

That warning also (silently) covers the situation where someone hovers near people who look like they might be negotiating a deal

The KB would be lot more useful if we didn’t need to log in to find a solution to a simple problem.

When we are registered, maybe we could propose additions or changes to the KB, this could help you to cover more subjects and be more reactive.

Happy Halloween ^_^
