Please add the ability to turn off finding someone on the map, if they so choose not to be found. There are times when I really just want to be by myself, and end up being tracked by someone. There are times when privacy is wanted, and we don't seem to have a lot of that in SL sometimes.

You could temporarily restrict access to your land and those trying to visit should get the message. Maybe not at first, but if they are friends, they will get the idea once they see that behavior exhibited a few times.

That's a good temp solution.

On the other hand, I don't think it would be unreasonable to block your location if you are set to "busy". How about that?

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

That would be a better feature actually, "Busy" takes you off the map. But, "busy" would also prevent you from talking to "anyone" else and you might just be wanting some alone time with another.

Well since they took the time to find you, why not say instead:

"It is nice to see you, but at the moment I am busy with a project, talking with this person, etc. Can I contact you later?"

or just

"I am busy at the moment with <fill in blank>. I will be happy to chat with you later (tomorrow, next week, etc.)"


:)
