Easy solution for Events Postings Complaints ALREADY Available!

Many people are complaining they can't post events. However, the tools are still there for most of the people who have complained. Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

In Indigo, just about the whole sim is owned by my group, Indigo Crew. Its me and the people who live and have building rights there. However, we have a lot more friends than just those in Indigo Crew. So we created a second group, and deeded 1 4x4 meter square of land (the smallest possible) to the second group. All of our friends who didn't actually live or having building rights to various plots joined this group, and they could set their home on this 4x4 plot.

A similar function could be employed for events. Simply subdivide 1 4x4 square in the middle of your tringo hall / club / whatever. Then set it for sale to yourself for L$0. Then deed the 4x4 square meter plot to a group, called, let's say "Club Events Group". Then right click, About Land, BUY FOR GROUP. Then invite the people you wish to be able to create events as members of the group, keeping yourself as officer.

Am I crazy, or would this work just fine? This gives you much better control, in fact. It keep random people you don't know from posting events on your land (could be used for griefing)... and let's you easily control who can post events without giving up precious traffic counts in abundance.

I hope this helps people.

I did this at perilous Pleasures last night Flip, but still wouldn't let a group member post events. The 16m plot is deeded to a group, with the group members being those that I want to be able to post events there.

May have been just a delay in server updating or the problems they were having last night. I will come back and let you know if it works today, when I get in-world.

Parcels must be at least 512 square meters before they show up in the drop down list on the event posting page.

ohh..damn that sucks

Ah, that's why it was showing up under my alt account then. Sorry for the false alarm - Lindens, how about we lower this to something reasonable?

also places, and events typically show up by dwell, so the higher the dewll the higher on the list. If you are too small and have no dwell, searches for your land will turn up on the bottom of any list (in just find? or also in events?) I dont go to many events I am not sure if it is the same for both.

512 is reasonably small for an event,.. just use that size? whats the malfunction? if you do make it tooo small people can spam a bazillion gazillion million events! ya you heard me!

but seriously 512m2 is terribly small already.

I've seen at least one person who regularly schedules (note I said "schedules," not "holds" ) events who has scheduled an event for one plot but then noted in the event description that the event will actually be taking place in another location. I wonder if this is a way of getting around the new restriction... ?

Yep - that's exactly what's going on. If you have sufficient land to do so - you can carve off as many 512m parcels as you like, whip up a teleporter on the property.... and you are event-restriction-free.

Of course, kinda sucks if you don't have sufficient land to do so.

That was the motivation behind my question for Phil last night.

Yes it is but it sucks for those trying to fly to it....lol.

I understand why they made the changes, but it hurts others that weren't abusing the system. I have someone running Perilouds Pleasures for me, and she only posts 4-5 events a week at the most. Now she can't post any seemingly, unless I make the land group owned, which I would prefer not to do at the moment.

I still stay involved with the club, but delegated the day to day upkeep, event organization to a person I respect and trust, and that was kind enough to do these thing, allowing me to concentrate on another project atm.

Oh well..I guess I'll do the event posting. It's not as big of an inconvienence to me as it is to some, I'm sure.

I've always thought of promoting invite-only inworld events without using the events system. something slick and exclusive.

hehe could be fun - although there'd be new drama over the ban-lines
