Currently, there is a single cap that applies to both private instant messages and group notices received while offline. This can create a significant problem for users who belong to many groups, especially when those groups send a large number of notices. Because both types of messages count toward the same limit, group notices can quickly fill the offline message queue. When we log back in, we may receive a large number of group notices until the delivery limit is reached, with no way of knowing whether important private instant messages were prevented from being delivered. In some cases, we don't find out that someone sent us an offline message until hours later, when that person asks why we never responded. I'd like to propose separate offline delivery limits for private instant messages and group notices. For example, as a Premium Plus member, my current limit is 240 messages total. Because I receive a lot of group notices, I frequently hit that limit while offline. I've had people become upset with me for not responding to messages that I never actually received because the cap had already been reached. Under this proposal, instead of having a single limit of 240 messages for everything, Premium Plus members could receive up to 240 offline instant messages and up to 240 offline group notices separately. Users on other membership tiers could retain their existing limits, but those limits would also be separated between instant messages and group notices. Separating these limits would greatly reduce the chances of important personal messages being lost simply because a user's offline queue was filled with group notices.

This isn't really a feature but I don't see anywhere else to put it. After 21 years, could there be some better wording than "You have been ejected from... "Group Name." By far most elections are because a group closed or is just doing housekeeping. Ideally there could be a choice of statements, or maybe a fixed "This group has closed" message. But the EJECTED has always been really nasty.

As has been noted over and over again, the increase in phishing spam links is or has gotten out of control. In the following, I propose a practical way in which to address this issue which would seriously curb the issue if not altogether get rid of such an activity. Create new role abilities. New abilities would have defined rules for group owner, group moderator(s) or other trusted individuals to be the only allowed individuals to post links in a group. Sub-classification for members who don't fit the aforementioned roles to be allowed only to post image links from known/well established image sharing sites. (This too should have a on/off toggle to prevent any type of abuse as needed) Group owners/moderators can have/create an allowed list of URL's that are permitted in their group. Example: Marketplace.secondlife.com Defining permitted URLs allows only those that are an exact match and prevents misspelled and misleading links. In the event a user attempts to post outside of their role abilities, the post is blocked from being sent and user notified as to why. In the above proposed solution, spammers would not by default be allowed to post spam links in any group as the default persons of the established "everyone" role would not allow it nor any other default role as defined by the group administration. In consideration of what to do with groups whose administration has been absent for a period of 6 months or more, by default all link postings should be disabled until such a time (if ever) a group owner logs in and establishes who may post links. While some may see this as an unpopular option, it prevents those groups that some still use from being exploited. I propose this solution as if there is no ability to post phishing links, then there is less likelihood that users are entering in their credentials and their accounts being compromised as well as serving the great community good of people who just don't want to see this mess as there are other means of advertising for those who are interested.

Many people at the forums (and in world) would love to be able to outright block. When an ignored avatar (in world and in the forums) is blocked, they can still interact in unfavorable ways. Trolls should be limited, but the only thing limited is my ability to protect my privacy.

As of this writing, residents can engage in abusive behavior by sending L$ to people who have blocked them. This enables the unwanted receipt of messages from blocked parties using the L$ Pay notes as an attack vector. When someone is blocked, all methods of communication or interaction should be prohibited at the forefront. People circumventing this are not only harassing people, but exploiting a safety exploit in the payment system to continue harassing people, which given the negligble cost of L$ on an individual level, these attacks could be persistent.

how about a decent editor in notecarda allowing things like columns and so on. Our notecard are pitiful

I'd love to request a feature that would be a huge quality-of-life improvement for many of us in the Second Life community: the ability to schedule group notices in advance and set up repeatable group notices for recurring events. This would be incredibly helpful not only for creators, but also for event organizers, venue owners, and anyone managing active communities. Many of us balance our Second Life activities with full-time jobs, families, and other real-life responsibilities. Being able to draft and schedule a group notice to send out later, at a specific date and time, would ensure we don’t miss promoting important releases, events, or updates simply because we're not online at the right moment. Here’s how this feature would help: 🔔 Consistency: Notices could go out exactly when intended, even if the sender isn’t logged in. ⏰ Efficiency: No more setting alarms or reminders just to log in and send a notice at a specific time. 🔁 Repeatable Events: Weekly DJs, markets, or game nights could have notices automatically go out on the same day/time each week. 🧠 Less Stress: More time to focus on building, hosting, and enjoying SL... without worrying about last-minute reminders. This would streamline operations for businesses and communities of all sizes and help us all stay better connected and organized. If anyone else would find this helpful, feel free to show support. Hopefully, it’s something the LL team could consider adding in future updates!

I am not certain how this could be implemented but it would be nice if in the Role options that there would be a togglable checkbox to allow or disallow certain group roles in a group from posting hyperlinks. This would make it more difficult for scammers to spam links to phishing websites that steal account log in information with fake log in screens. This would also even make it harder for for people to spam products in other designers groups that are for other stores.

Would it be possible to give users a way to disable (make text only) links that are not SL supported or that do not fit a defined pattern? Supported links could include SURLs, MP, major Social Media platforms (insta, flickr, discord, primfeed), etc. If this is not feasible, would it be possible to give group owners a perm they can set for roles to allow/disallow posting of links? Having the option to allow but filter for supported links would be great, but again, if that's not possible, i can understand. This would at least give us some control over what keeps happening with malicious links in chat. i understand it would not be foolproof, but it could be a layer of protection added.

disallow users to pull names from groups (or anywhere) to initiate confrence calls. it's rude, unwelcome, and just spam. I don't like any personally unless I know I'm getting invited. so maybe it could be restricted to only those on a friends list at least or a pop up is shown to accept or decline them in the same way a voice confrence does.
