Yup its a violation of the rules and as such AR-able.
see below for a few parts of the blog posting. Here is a section from the blog post on the new advertising rules...... ***************** The advertisements themselves.. Adverts should be grounded to the terrain, not floating. Adverts should extend no higher than 8m from the ground. No rotating, no flashing content and no particles. No unsolicited dispensing of IMs, notecards, landmarks or content. No light sources or glow (full bright is acceptable however). Advertising hoardings should be Phantom. Adverts must be clearly PG in nature. No sound and no temp-on-rez content. Ban lines should be switched off. ******************* and another...... ******************* Q. Does this policy include signs advertising Parcels for sale? A. Yes it does. ******************* Link to the blog incase anyone wants to read the full posting.... http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/09/12/more-information-on-ad-farms-network-advertisers/#more-2638 Nothing said about banana's...................... ...................So keep you skin on !!  |

I have a friend who had success getting a neighbor to change sale signs by just passing them a note with copy of new advertisment regulations and link to the blog post concerning it. Signs fix next day- no more huge, high, spinning signs.
Do consider that many, many people in world do not read this forum or other SL blogs or notices and may simply be unaware. _____________________

And, don't forget this part... ********************************************** * We will allow no more than 50 advertising locations owned by a single individual, whether personally owned or via groups in which you are a member, unless you have written permission from Linden Lab to exceed this limit.Use of Alt accounts/groups to circumvent this restriction will be considered a violation. * In addition to the cap, we will allow no more than 1 advertising placement by an individual in any single region. ************************************************* However, I have tested this by filing an AR on a massive sea of for sale signs that just cropped up near me and, after 3 days, they are all still there. So much for the... Q. Does this policy include signs advertising Parcels for sale? A. Yes it does. ... part of all that. |

I was looking round at land for sale and what still surprises me is just how ugly and clumsily made some legitimate builds are.
Like a store I saw that was hovering about 5 metres above the gound and made of ill-fitting panels, mostly of standard plywood texture but coloured green except one or two that were other colours. The panels fitted very badly and there was a lot fo texture flicker too where panels overlapped. Not everyone can be a brilliant builder, but I just can't believe how bad some builds are. The first thing I ever made in SL was a little shed. Looking at a snapshot of it now, it's better than some of these eyesores! _____________________

Okay, I have no problem with "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or "one av's trash, another av's treasure". But what do you think, is this just an awfully ugly way to advertise land for sale? ohmigosh, some avatar is blocking the view of those lovely for sale signs!! |
