Group notices currently allow more text to be entered than will actually display once posted, so the end of longer notices gets silently truncated. This suggestion is for LL to add a character limit (or live character counter) on the notice creation window that matches the actual display limit so that way creators know up front when their text will be cut off, rather than discovering it after the notice goes out.

Allow changing camera parameters while in and out of mouse look relative to avatars position. These changes would stay relative to the avatar and allow the use of mouse look for experiences such as flashlights, weapons, etc. I am personally looking to create a flashlight as an experience that changes your camera to an over shoulder view, and when entering mouse look the view stays the same, but allows further interactivity with mouse controls. You could also make a third person weapon that affects your camera in and out of mouse look. Entering mouse look would enable shooting functionality, but you could still maintain a third person view.

Block feature shoud go both ways. If, for example I block someone, I see them gray, but they are still able to see me. The purpose of blocking someone is to keep them out of our lives. If they can still see us, then this block is half achieved purpose. It should go both ways. If one block someone then both avatars should be gray. I have a friend that blocked someone and he can still see her and follow her in her usual spots. She sees the view crosses fixed on parts of her body even though he is blocked. This is making her uncomfortable and should not be allowed. Blocked people should not be able to see the person that blocked them. Thank you

Optically you can see from a region to the next one - the sim border is invisible. Physically though the next region does not exist until you travel over the border between the recent region and the next one. Let's suppose you are traveling by boat. If you hit a pier in a region, your boat is bounced back. But if you hit a pier located on the next region reaching until the region's edge, your boat first travels over the sim border and suddenly gets caught in the pier bouncing like crazy. Suggestion: the physics engine of each region should also load (render?) the physical shapes of the neighbor regions borders, which are pointed to the region, so a vehicle is bounced back and does not enter the next region where it is blocked by some object. Advantage: physical experience would be far more natural, collisions on sim borders would not be special. Since it is very common to build right until the sim borders, this is issue not a trifle at all imo. Vessels that have a damage system responsive to collisions (to make sailing more challenging) use to sink immediately when hitting these sim edge builds (since being caught on an object causes plenty of collisions in a very short time), while they would only take some damage while hitting the same build from the other side. This particularly is annoying, if there is a very tiny or even invisible object on the sim border, so you have no chance to recognize it before your ship suddenly sinks for no obvious reason.

I record voices, transcribe them, and translate them. When a user speaking into the microphone isn't using headphones, the microphone picks up sounds from Second Life, such as keyboard typing, ambient noise, and other people's voices. Too much noise prevents accurate transcription, and translating incorrect English sentences into my language results in completely incomprehensible text. In some cases, it can even result in the exact opposite meaning. To prevent this, I spend a considerable amount of time using sound tools to remove noise before transcription. Therefore, I would like to request the addition of an option to automatically mute all sounds from Second Life only when the microphone is on. This would remove all sounds other than the voice of the microphone user, even if they aren't using headphones. I believe that removing these sounds would yield better results, even when transcribing via WebRTC.

Group owners need more tools to be able to manage chat / group users, especially when there are people that create a new account every day to post horrible things to groups. Some options that would help: -- pre ban capacity ( use wildcards on name to prevent users who use some variation of the same name every time from even joining, or to limit their ability to post to the group) -- have a setting to allow group owners to stipulate that an avatar needs to be at least X days old before being able to post in chat -- limit the ability to post links (if you post one, you're automatically banned) with domain exceptions (i.e. allow primfeed, gyazo, etc) This would help with scammers, trolls, and allow group managers / owners to give their groups a more positive experience, maintaining the ability to have group chat, without enabling or at least limiting the ability of creeps and scammers to disrupt.

What I mean by this is I wish we could mark group notices as types or topics so if you've already seen a certain group notice that is the EXACT SAME as one being sent out again tomorrow/later in the day, you can mark it so you won't receive it again. Stores send out reminders daily (or more often!) that I want to receive, but once I've received it, I don't need it again. This could be a tick mark that you click on that's on the group notice when it's sent out while you're online and you can quickly mark it so you won't receive that exact notice again, and a checkbox you can click on in notices when in the Group Notices tab for that group.

Lately a lot of SL groups have been getting hit by spammers posting phishing links that look like real Marketplace stores. Here’s an example of the kind of thing going around: [12:16:37] Rẙaḽīể (ryalie): New store! Outfit + Shape, Everything is free, limited quantity https://marketplacsecondlife-style-body-mesh-catwa-185089.store It’s clearly meant to trick people, and residents are falling for it because it looks close-ish to a legit SL URL. People are losing their Lindens because their accounts become compromised, thinking they’re logging into a trusted site. The scammers then use those compromised accounts to spam other groups (sometimes even pay-to-join ones), which just keeps the cycle going and leads to more stolen Lindens and MORE hacked accounts. My suggestion is to remove clickable URLs in group chat and IMs unless they’re from trusted sites. Maybe have a whitelist for known, safe domains like: marketplace.secondlife.com secondlife.com community.secondlife.com flickr.com primfeed.com gyazo.com Or other KNOWN and trusted sites. Everything else could just show up as plain text or with a warning before opening. Other possible options could include: color-coding links (safe ones in green, unverified ones in grey or red), adding a short delay before opening non-trusted URLs (“This link will open in 5 seconds”), or even giving users a setting in Preferences to allow clickable links from trusted domains only. This would stop a lot of the spam and protect people from phishing. It would also cut down the workload for in-world group moderators (who constantly have to boot spammers) and reduce support tickets from compromised accounts; meaning less work for your support team, cost savings for you, and a safer experience for everyone. Thank you!

If we had tick marks in the hover height adjustment window that we could click to adjust hover height by just a little bit, it would be easier when changing it by the smallest amount possible. Sometimes I'm just like an inch off/below the ground but don't want to type 0.31 if it's currently at 0.3. If I could adjust by tick marks that could be a handy add-on. A small change, but could improve the game.

I'd like it if we were able to classify group notices into "types." I get notices from stores all the time that ask you to follow their social media and I'm already following them so it doesn't apply to me. If I'm part of a big group that sends out different types of notices, maybe I only want to receive some for specific events. Or groups can send out notices that fall under "reminders", "staff only", "for VIPs", "events", etc. Some of my groups I want to receive ALL group notices - this could be the default when first joining a group. You could perhaps manually select which ones you want to opt out of if you realize a group sends lots that aren't relevant to you.
