Ok Strawberry Singh has created a meme about “My SL Pet Peeves”

http://strawberrysingh.com/2013/04/01/my-sl-pet-peeves-meme/

And of course we just have to contribute!

Hottie’s Pet Peeves:

1. Offline “hi’s” or notecards. Especially when the notecard has a non-informative name. I don’t log in all the time, but I do get all my IMs pushed to my e-mail (on my phone no less) where I can answer them. Notecards show up in my email with just their name like this: “ToriiSppelling8720 Resdient has sent you Notecard1”

If you are just saying “Hi” to see if I am online, follow it up with a “nvm” or something. If you actually need something…just tell me! Spill your guts! No notecards or anything fancy. I am making it easy for you…so please make it easy for me 😀

2. The way the Scouts over at customer support will treat you like a bozo who needs to be given a link to a help file just to tie your shoes. Please! Do you see how old my account is?

I actually cancelled my SL premium account (of something like 5 or 6 years) recently because of how useless support has been getting lately. Especially, after I had a griefer object in a sim that was actually disabling the region and causing repeated crashes all day long, and support wanted us to wait for the abuse report team to remove the object (Like the AR’s are anything more than a black hole!) And yes we did submit ARs and waited a few days (with a disabled sim!). But we never ever got their help!

3. Griefers. Does that even need to be said? But notice how this is further down my list than pitiful customer service from LL….

Actually I should change this. Griefers I can handle. What drives me batty is: a) how many people leave their land on open-rezz and make it easy for grief attacks, and b) how the default settings (which all land reverts back to when purchased) are to allow open-rezz! Why not make the land owner-rezz only by default?

4. People who think it is faster to IM their EMs and land owners about an offline region than submitting a ticket to LL. Sure LL support is useless for almost everything, but if there is one thing they are fast at  it is getting a region back online. Heck I might not even see the message about a region offline in the time it takes to file a ticket to get it back online. And guess what? Even as a land owner we have to file the same ticket! So it would be a lot faster if you filed the ticket and then came to us with your ticket number if the sim was still not online after 15 minutes.

5. Rolling restarts. They happen all the frickin time! The worst thing is ignorance of rolling restarts. Don’t rezz your stuff during rolling restarts! Period. Actually the worst worst is when someone learns from one experience that they should not rezz during rolling restarts and then they do it again. And the worst worst worst is when they yell at you about it and insist that before “you” restart the sim you should e-mail them. Finally, most worstest ever is when they insist that you must return their objects to them…insisting that you to stop telling them to submit a ticket to Amaretto for the return of their lost puppies, and start looking in your inventory for their items. LMAO

H.S.

Lizards Pet Peeves:

1. Prim encroachment. Ok, honestly, while I dislike random “Hi”s and NCs, they are minor peeves. If I have one SL peeve it is this!  Keep your prims on your own damn land!

Yes, that DOES include those pretty palm trees that you put on your border.   Yes, that DOES include that off-sim tropical reef that takes up half the sim while you are only renting a 4096m land.  Yes, that DOES include particle emitters like rain or snow or falling leaves.

Guys, its not that hard to figure out.

Use View – Land Owners and your land will show in green (or blue if it is group owned), everyone else’s will show in red.  Use View – Transparent and you can see exactly how your palm trees and bushes actually ARE encroaching on the neighbor’s land, even though you rezzed them on your land.

Whew, glad I got that off my chest!
