Land & Public Works

Club ELFIN (since 2008) has floors in non-adjacent Mainland regions Mimolette and Enoki. Both had near-simultaneous restarts/warnings during our events six times in 2026: Sep 25 (~23:05 JST), Oct 9 (~22:00), Oct 12 (~22:00), Oct 16 (22:03/22:04), Oct 23 (22:09/22:10), Nov 6 (~22:10–22:13). All six events stopped; the evacuation region also restarted, scattering staff and guests. Nov 6 screenshots show warnings. We first learned that Boxy 5000 lets anyone request a restart at any time, even outside their home region. In Support Ticket #2568780, Freckle Linden confirmed that the Oct 12 restarts were again requested via Boxy 5000 by the same resident responsible for earlier incidents. One resident repeatedly requested restarts across regions. Please investigate later incidents; their requester is unknown. Please implement NOW a fair system for ALL Mainland residents—homes, schools, shops, clubs—to request advance restart-avoidance windows. These are preferences, not vetoes or guarantees; emergency work remains possible. Improve notices, restart classification and safeguards for resident requests. Without an alternative, ELFIN may have to consider preventive restarts before events to protect them, though we wish to avoid this practice. What would happen if club owners, event organizers and commercial venues worldwide all did the same, even once per 24 hours? Widespread uncoordinated restarts could disrupt Mainland. We may seek joint support from operators in Japan and worldwide, but hesitate: publicizing preventive restarts might encourage their spread. Please issue interim guidance before broad outreach. Please answer: (1) Will you start implementing advance restart-avoidance requests now? (2) If difficult, why? (3) If you consider widespread preventive restarts insignificant, why? This expands our existing request, “Avoid Scheduled Region Restarts During Japanese Prime Time (22:00–24:00 JST)” (40 votes Nov 8). Please link/merge without losing votes or comments; our Oct 31 renaming question remains unanswered. We made three songs to explain this issue simply and calmly to Linden staff and friends worldwide.

I'd like to suggest adding a dedicated Creative Writing category under the Creation section of the Second Life forums. Second Life inspires a great deal of creative expression beyond visual art, photography, and music. Residents write fictional stories, poetry, character histories, world-building pieces, and other literary works inspired by their virtual experiences. A dedicated space would give Residents an opportunity to share their writing, exchange ideas, collaborate on creative projects, and find inspiration from one another. For example, I'd love to see a place where Residents could share Second Life photographs as inspiration for fictional stories, invite others to contribute images with permission, and showcase the resulting creative work. I think a dedicated category would help recognize writing as another form of artistic expression within the Second Life community and give these projects an appropriate place to grow. Thank you for considering the suggestion!

There are two phantom islands in protected waters in the Fort Grant region that should be removed. They are visually blocking passage through a public waterway. One is https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fort%20Grant/36/219/29 and other is https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fort%20Grant/35/159/24

The welcome hubs Adult & G Rated do not have proper Set home here options, and those that did, are not working as they should. This is problematic for new users that do not want to have the default home setting to be in the centre of the landing point at the welcome hub they first arrive at. Also the official Youtube videos tell them they can set their home location but if they follow those steps it tells them they cannot. The home setting location at the Welcome HUB was set to group and then broke, and was removed, the Adult Welcome HUB is not working. The Belli Welcome HUB is also not working and is where you will find the videos. More locations to teach people how to do this and also give people more M & A locations so that they are not incorrectly dressed when sent home or logging in to home at the G rated regions would be helpful.

Lately there has been a persistent griefer creating new accounts daily or semi-daily and systematically nuking multiple public sandboxes. The attacks involve self-replicating/duping prims and graphics card crashers that make the regions unusable for everyone trying to build or test items. Such places include Morris and Sandbox Island(s) Because the accounts are disposable and created fresh each day, Abuse Reports alone are not stopping the problem quickly enough. By the time action is taken, the damage is already done and a new account appears within the next day or following. Please consider temporarily disabling scripts on the major public sandboxes for a period of time. This would remove the main tools the griefer is using while still allowing people to rez and build. Once the person gets bored and moves on, scripts can be re-enabled. With a temporary lockdown, it will help a lot of residents who currently can’t use these areas.

Would you please have music in the SS Galaxy Ballroom? I recommend this station http://tgas.dyndns.org:8001 or http://streaming.rubinbroadcasting.com:80/kcea

Currently the entirety of the interior linkset is set as a "Clickable" object. This is because the touch handling script is in the root prim of the object, and checks when the configuration buttons are clicked. Ideally, the interior meshes would be set to have the "None" click action, while the buttons remain the same. This would improve visual feedback to Residents on what is and is not clickable, especially in a place where buttons are likely to be used (EG: Vendor navigation buttons). See the attached image where the cursor shows the floor as clickable, even though no action takes place upon clicking.

The stilt home doors can get stuck open if you leave the doors open during the region restarts. Attempting to close the doors when they are in this state causes them to "open" further which causes them to clip into the walls. The stilt homes need to be updated so that this doesn't happen anymore. V4.0 Tortuga

Mountain of Realms and Forest of Realms not spawning any crystals at all, totally bare and has been for a few days.

Previously submitted to Jira. https://github.com/secondlife/jira-archive/issues/9093 Referencing the region "Blake Sea - Nelson" at location 290816, 268800. (See attached screenshot) A 48m x 48m parcel is located in the NE corner of the region. This parcel is named "Blake Sea Rez Zone" and has build enabled for all, with autoreturn set to 10 minutes. This parcel can be described as SW <204, 204>, and NE <252, 252> I would like to see similar Rez Zone parcels created on the public waterways in the Adult Regions commonly referred to as "Zindra" or "The Adult Continent". Suggested regions include: (See attached map) Aigar Blenwyn Bruda Derimon Desantos Deshmo Farumier Galchari Garmu Gemare Gurbsyk Henker Hoxel Beach Kellig Linkous McFarley Melisande Nines Nordred Okamoto Podyan Popke Tal Qrassica Quinsen Reiner Selano Beach Selano Beach East Selano Beach West Seylar Shell Beach Tashina Trinoo Trulan Van Daemo Wardle Wavewatcher Whorlebow Zindra Ocean Zurn and Horizons regions: Horizons Comet Horizons Cressida Horizons Janus Horizons Leda Horizons Maia Horizons Metis Horizons Oberon Horizons Pallas Horizons Phoebe Horizons Rigel Horizons Rocket Horizons Thebe Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community? Anyone who's crossed a region boundary in a vehicle more than a few times has surely experienced the frustration of a service disconnect. On public thoroughfares like roads and waterways, vehicles can be autoreturned before you have a opportunity to reconnect and re-sit. Adding, of course, the scourge of privacy orbs and other automated security systems which can eject and teleport avatars home without warning. Travel in SL is at times, an endurance challenge. To sooth the frustrations of these situations, "Rez Zones" have been created on many public travel routes. New lands created for Linden Home projects (for example) routinely include rez zones for road vehicles, watercraft, and even aircraft. In a recent boating excursion, I decided to visit the adult regions. While the "Horizons" Infohubs include rez zones for watercraft, they are evidently the only public works rezzing zones on water, in the entire adult mainland area. Creating rezzing zones, similar to those on Blake Sea, in the Zindra waterways would ease the pain of having to 'start over' due to a failed region transit, or overactive privacy script, and would generally make the experience of travel in these regions more appealing to those interested in doing so.|
