Mainland panels

Is it against rules to put high panels around your mainland land? Is there any regulations about that? Width, height, phantom, transparent, or any other rule or limits?

There should be.

However, sadly there aren't. You can build what and how you want on mainland.

So really no limits? Is there any writen rules about that?

Certainly megaprim scenery screens should be banned as they nearly always look awful.

I can't see that much can be done about walls 10m or 20m high, though, as banning those would mean a lot of nicely made castles or office blocks would have to come down.

I need facts, not what should be or any personal prejudices. I have neighbour who don't like my buildings and he closed me with his (30-40m) panels. Since I dont like his panels, I wanna put mine but bit higher and wanna be sure im not conflicting with any of regulations here.

If anyone know for sure I would be gratufull for your answers.

To be sure why not contact LL and ask .
I can see this being on going you build higher then he goes higher and on and on well that is just my view

First one to 4096m wins =p =)

To OP, if you have been fully enclosed by your neighbour then they not allowed to do that.

What if the neighbor just banned the OP? Although the prim enclosure has him boxed in and may be against regulation (no one has yet stated where it says that), is it also against regulations to ban the person from your land, thereby, effectively enclosing them?

It's something to consider when buying land, not that one would have full control over it as the land around you could be sold to someone who also could box you in.

Just curious about this one. I do hope the OP is able to work this out with his neighbor. I'm more for trying to work things out than continue building upward in an unregulated pissing contest. (And, no, I don't know if there are any regulated ones! )

Was the micro-barons that won the non-enclosure right during the land wars. And the right to have fair and reasonable access to their properties. They couldnt be enclosed or prevented from doing either. So if the intent of banning is to make life difficult for your neighbour then is Harassment and is grounds for an AR. Proving this is another matter. But if you been in a building war for the last few weeks then whoever makes an AR'eable mistake first loses.

Working it out with the neighbours is a good idea like you say =)

Why escalate with a revenge build? Rise above all that - literally. Use the prims you would have used with a giant wall and build a platform 1000 meters up instead. You can landscape it how you want. Everybody wins.

Are you upset that he can no longer see your stuff? Is this an ego thing? Just ask him to make your side of the panels invisible.



**SL Mainland - Sandbox living at its finest.**

I believe that if your land encircles someone elses, you are not allowed to surround it with walls. I'm not certain, though...but...something. Yeah.

LL should close the mainland, it's just not working. It makes SL look worse than it is.

I agree. LL should chuck everyone off the mainland except for me

I think it works fine. I have never once spoken to my neighbors that I know of, yet we all seem to work together to make a harmonious landscape with no ugly terraced effect at the moment. Yes, there is one wall in a corner of my parcel that I find a little unsightly because its on a hill and no one bothered to line up the textures, but I just hid that with a few trees and it's very natural looking.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but also I think the ability to build many thousands of meters up and the crack down on ad farming has helped mainland a lot.

Well I was talking about the ugliness of the mainland in general, not necessarily your backyard, which I'm sure is lovely!.

What do you think of the mainland in general?. Do you ever go flying over it, exploring?. Does it make you proud to be a SL resident?.

Finally, just to be sure we're on the same page - do you have eyes?

What Weston said really =)

Ive lived all over the mainland. I move a lot. From the most fabulous places imaginable to the zoos that make the Book of Revelations a teddy bears picnic =) And in my journey Ive come to experience the best and worst of mainland living. The mainland is way tidier now than it has ever been as a whole and everyday it gets a little bit better.

Unfortunately you can't talk about the generalities like 'the mainland is ugly' and 'let's shut it down' while ignoring the specifics of how you'd do it, and what we'd have in its place.

I'll happily move to a private estate, if offered the same 1120m as I have on the mainland for under L$5500 a year (effectively), with the same safeguards being a direct customer of LL gives me.

LL safeguards?

Like LL protecting you when a neighbor puts up a large screen with a picture of a tree on it?

I think you'll be much safer on a private estate.

I think it was this kind of safety that was being referred to

A large tree on a screen is annoying, but not a big deal.

Pinos are you talking about the wall to the north of your slot machine parlor? If you are, it is quite understandable if your neighbor doesn't want a view of your place. It's a panorama to make their view more pleasant.

If it is that parcel of land, I don't know why you would even care since it is unlikely that it affects your business, but rather than grief your neighbor for legitimate use of a panorama you might try talking to them instead and ask them to modify the panorama so that it is transparent on your side.

If they won't do it, a simpler solution, if the panorama really bothers you, would be to elevate your slot machine parlor to the sky. There are lots of slot machine parlors that operate above ground level.

Maybe it's better to talk with your neighbour and try to find a solution.
The day you go higher he will do it too.

Once, my neighbour put a 10 m high black wall betweem our plots. I simply called him, explained that it was ugly to me. He showed me about a dozen textures, I picked one that he put on my side of the wall, and everybody lived happy.. until he puts his property to sell.

Than i bought it, to have as neighbour an abandoned, empty "first land" plot with objects allowed to everyone... No way to make contact with the owner, so I put a wall, made a scenery of my choice, on my side (if anyone find it ugly, its ok to me - it is my plot, my view). The neighbour's side is invisible and the wall, phanthom. That hide the 117 prims (waste disposal) from my view and I didn't hurt anyone.

In the majority of cases, there is a way to manage things acceptable for all involved - just don't shot first and ask after.

Definitely! My spots of mainland are better than ever.

My end of Bay City is outstanding.

My little plot in Shermerville NW has some awesome neighbors.

My home in Hundertwasser is quiet and pleasant.

Much like RL anymore, SL property can be "location, location, location." It helps to have people of a like mind in the area, too. At any rate, I am lovin' my mainland experience nowadays.
