✨ Feature Requests

Avatars should not be able to use llDamage against agents or objects on parcels where they are banned or otherwise do not have access. This should also extend to objects that have been deeded to a group by said avatar. Currently, if a parcel has damage enabled, a banned avatar can still use llDamage to affect targets within that parcel. This effectively allows them to bypass parcel bans and continue interacting with residents or objects despite being explicitly denied access by the land owner. This behavior undermines the purpose of parcel access controls. If a land owner bans an avatar, that decision should prevent all forms of hostile or disruptive interaction originating from that avatar, including scripted damage. Parcel owners rely on access controls such as bans and group restrictions to manage their land and protect the experience of people within it. Allowing banned avatars to continue affecting the parcel through llDamage removes control from the land owner and weakens their ability to enforce boundaries. By permitting damage interactions across parcel bans, the platform effectively overrides the land owner’s explicit decision about who is allowed to interact with their space. Preventing llDamage from working across parcel bans would restore the intended autonomy of land owners to control interactions within the environments they manage. A secondary request would be adding a flag to the region settings that can be set TRUE or FALSE to allow damage to be dealt from sources to targets on different parcels as a region wide setting and default it to FALSE

I created a group several years ago for my store, and I wish I had the ability to change the group name (to remove brackets, change a word, etc.). I'd even be willing to pay a small fee for this (similar to changing my avatar name, but maybe payable in Lindens...like paying to partner/unpartner).

Can we have more than 38 attachment points please? ♥

On my first visit to Commercial Bellisseria, I got the usual, annoying pop-up invites to join (paid) groups that I get at many stores. It's downright irritating and akin to being jumped on by a shop assistant in RL the moment you walk through their door. I know I'm not the only one in SL who feels this way. Please consider banning such things in Commercial Bellisseria, for the sake of our sanity and left mouse buttons. That includes auto-sending landmarks as well. I can make my own and don't need a hundred of them sending that I just have to delete. There is nothing wrong with having a sign on the wall to join a group. Barraging us with automated messages is just pestering and annoying.

I would like to see where paid members can acquire a LIST of available linden home plots. Say you like the stilt homes over water, but have a home in a different location, but do not want to "abandon" what you have for something that you may not like. I feel it's like a "roll the dice" of what home you are given after you abandon what you have. So, say you want the stilt over water homes but want to check them out and their locations out BEFORE taking a spot. Right now, the limit for "rolling the dice" with a linden home location is 5 per day. Maybe send the person a list of 5 locations per day/every other day to check-out (with urls) with the option of somehow "buying/taking/selecting" any of those if they like a particular location. I know I have a home that Ican live with, but I am wanting one in a particular location, but do not want to give up what I have for something possibly worse.

"It would be neat to see a feature that offers a 1024sqm discount to users who spend significant time in-game monthly, provided their accounts are 10 years or older, as a thank you for their dedication. Often, legacy users feel underappreciated; this would serve as a meaningful 'thank you.' The mechanic is simple: if a veteran user spends at least 2 hours a day, 5 days a week in-world, they receive a tier discount on 1024sqm of land. How does this drive profit? * Reduced Abandonment: Land is less likely to be abandoned if it’s subsidized for active creators. Increased Retention: Users who are active in-world are more likely to spend on the Marketplace and animations. Improved New User Experience: Rewarding those who take the time to make the virtual world feel less empty creates natural traffic. This makes the world feel vibrant and helps newcomers feel less lonely." Offer this to any NON paid memberships accounts that are 10 year or older legacy accounts. A way to make it more exciting would be to add perks like for each year past a legacy 10 year account adds free land size onto it.

Like many other users, I periodically get spam notecards and IMs from SL business owners advertising their new products. I have NEVER signed up to any notecard mailing list, I have always been added automatically without my knowledge. There's already a feedback post here about the ability to block these objects: https://feedback.secondlife.com/feature-requests/p/blocking-an-avatar-should-also-block-blacklist-all-of-their-rezzed-objects however I think that is only a band-aid solution. Signing users up onto your "subscription" service without their consent should not be allowed in the first place. It falls under spam, yet every time I have submitted a report against these objects, & explained in the report that they are spamming me (and others) without my consent and sometimes without a way to opt out, nothing seems to come of it. So I can only assume that, currently, this isn't against the SL TOS, or for some reason the reports are falling on deaf ears. Every time this has happened to me, the ads I get are from a brand that I don't recognize. This is because every time this happens it's nearly always happens one of two ways: I was added to the mailing list because I bought ONE item from the store in question; often a long time ago, sometimes years or more, from the Marketplace. This implies that the store owner is manually adding all Marketplace customer usernames to a mailing list or automating the process somehow. I visited the sim one time, and my mere presence was enough to get me on their mailing list. I need to stress that not only do these users add you to lists extremely easily, but they often make unsubscribing very difficult. At best, it'll be through a system like "KioskNet" - which at least has an inworld location you can go and get a HUD from, and unsubscribe from any mailing lists using that system. But if they use their own system, you're often out of luck. Some tell you "unsubscribe in the mainstore" but when you go there, there's no unsubscribe button, no matter how you look. Others say "contact me to unsubscribe", meaning that you have to actually talk to the person to convince them to take you off. And even if you find a way to unsubscribe, some will automatically put you back on their list later! I periodically check the KioskNet thing because every 6 months or so, a store has added me back as a "subscriber." As the other thread on this issue says, though, blocking either the user or their mailing object usually doesn't work because they tend to rezz multiple copies of the object, and keep going. Once you're in their system, you will be contacted by any object they rez going forward. I ask that Linden Labs considering making these unprompted spam subscriptions disallowed on the platform, and actually punishable. You should ONLY be able to get a "subscription" by opting in. Intrusive ads we did not ask for are spammy, disruptive, and extremely annoying.

Now the mesh in sl has no physics at all, you wear stiff clothes, with stiff hair, as you walk, the fabric stretches against your body into strange shapes, when you sit down, your long hair will bend 90 degrees to fit your legs. everything is very stiff. When i see those long flowing hair and those fluttering gorgeous skirts, i miss the good old days. Even though they look messy sometimes, but that's intuitive. But the prims is behind the times, everything is in mesh now. Why not give mesh physics too! Mesh greatly improves the quality of props in sl, but it loses the most intuitive physics, they just look good, but once they move, they will reveal their flaws. This is just like how people used to paint gloss on textures, only viewable from the front, otherwise it will be a mess. Now we have the advanced lighting, PBR, make objects looks more and more real, there's one step left, that is mesh physics! Imagine a cute girl with long flowing golden hair, wearing a flowing dress, dancing gracefully, her hair and clothes fluttering with dance, how beautiful! You must watched MMD dances! fluttering, inertia, collision, make MMD dances lifelike! SL need mesh physics, we can dance in sl like MMD! Many similar games already have these physics effects, but sl has not yet, please! If we have mesh physics, how to deal with rigged object is a problem. Could we make old items physics-enabled with edit? Or only the authors can handle it to release a update? What tools could authors use? There's really many problems.

It would be nice that if you blocked an avatar their scripts would no longer recognize you as being online or a valid target. Either that or some sort of privacy controls for what others scripts can do to your avatar such as track your location or if they can see if you are online. It would be nice if you could keep blocked avatars from doing the following things when you block them: - Tracking your online status without your consent with scripted items or HUDs. - Using scripts to make objects automatically follow, bump you, cage, orbit, or make particles only other people can see (since they are blocked) appear to spam from your avatar. - Using worn scripted objects to make their avatar follow you. I realize if this were implemented that it might break some things and would like to see if there was any ideas on the best way this could be done without literally breaking everything. It would be nice if there was a way to allow users the ability to prevent harassment, griefing, stalking and other undesirable scripted annoyances from other residents that target you. I think something like this would also lower the load the Governance team has to deal with when unfriendly residents are acting up and resort to doing any of these things to fellow residents. This would potentially generate less reports and give residents the ability to protect themselves peacefully. I was inspired to write this because as of me writing this I was sent an image today from a friend that showed me someone I'd rather not have know I am online with an object that has collected statistics about when I am online, how often I am online, how long I am online and those stats for over 3,500 log-ins over the years displayed over it in hovertext. I have the person blocked, it would be nice if I had a means to prevent them from this too.

Edit: to any Linden Lab staff reading this -- this post is a continuation of support ticket #2471863. You can go there to see more information. I want to start off by saying that I am a very sex and kink positive person both in SL and RL. Sexuality can be explored in many ways and platforms, and I support any safe and healthy ways that adults wish to do so. I am not interested in having these things removed from SL, or in punishing others for seeking them out. My concern here is about consent, so I wanted to make sure to establish that arguing against the sexual side of SL, and arguing for consent are two separate things. I've been in SL a long time, and some time ago, I think before COVID, things like nudity, fetishwear, sexual attachments, sexual animations and sounds, and other sexual or kinky things were usually confined to the appropriate places where everyone was able to consent. In sex-focused locations, kink regions with rules allowing for such things, and so on. These boundaries have since eroded, and for me and many other people I've spoken to, it has made it very difficult to exist in SL unless we completely seclude ourselves to desolate places. In popular shopping events, fantasy sims, performance/music events, art exhibitions, sandboxes, various G-rated sims, and beyond -- there has been an influx of people in various states of undress, with sexual attachments, doing sexual things in public and non-sexual spaces where no one is able to consent. I have been flashed, sexually harassed, had people touch me inappropriately without invitation (spanking, groping, etc.), and even had a friend of a friend a while back attempt to sexually assault me after my friends left the region, because the guy would not hear me saying no to his advances. I report people to region management and to LL when these things happen, but the behaviors do not stop. Sims and parcels rarely have easily visible rules against such behaviors, and even if they do have rules, they are often not enforced. Or if they are enforced at all, it isn't enough. The management struggle to handle the amount of reports coming in about the inappropriate behaviors in their spaces, so they often get frustrated and wind up doing nothing. And so the abuse continues. Lately I have been looking for G-rated sims as a means to avoid these problems, but that isn't working. When I search for ONLY G-rated sims via the search function in-world, M and A sims also show up in the list, with very few actual G-rated sims visible. When I go to the few G-rated sims listed, there seems to be more nudity and sexual behaviors happening in those places than almost anywhere else. Female avatars with nipples/areola and/or genitalia visible, and/or male avatars with erections, people spanking eachother, dragging kink partners around on leashes in public, having sex, masturbating, saying gross things to me in my DMs, etc. I, many friends, and others I've spoken to are utterly exhausted. We don't know what to do or where to go in order to be social, to share our creations, to interact with other peoples' creations, or even to simply exist without having our consent routinely broken by people who face no consequences for their rapey actions. Things that would land people in prison IRL seem to be perfectly acceptable in SL now. Being in the BDSM community for well over a decade now has taught me a lot about consent, and when it is or is not being given or respected. This issue in SL has become so pervasive that it has even affected the market for things like clothing. For womenswear, it has become increasingly difficult to find clothes that cover your nipples, genitalia, and butt completely. This massively over-sexualized world and community has become an ouroboros of abuse, lack of boundaries, and consent-breaking behaviors that is constantly reinforcing itself and telling everyone who tries to refuse it that they should just shut up and get over it. I don't want to do that, and I would like to have at least some nice spaces in SL that I and my friends can enjoy without being flashed, harassed, or assaulted. I'm very much hoping that the folks at LL can help come up with something to deal with this problem that is affecting so many of us. Please help keep us safe from these abusive people who lack boundaries and do not care about consent. Direct them to the places they belong, educate them on consent, and help us find and maintain spaces where these behaviors are not tolerated. We don't want to take away from anyone's fun, we only want our consent to be respected. If we are not opting to seek out nudity and sexual activity, it should not be forced on us everywhere we go. Thanks for taking the time to read my concern, and please let me know if you have any resources or advice to help me and others like me find places where we can feel safe without having to isolate ourselves.
