Camping issues

I've been noticing some issues at one of the camping areas. The benches say that "you've earned X Lindens" but then no $ gets placed into your account. Even after you stand up from the bench. It's been happening consistently on a number of benches in the Zweite Welt area.

I checked with some other people around me and they noticed the same thing.

Is this the right place to bring up this topic? Anybody have any ideas on how to get this resolved?

I would contact the campsite owner regarding this - it is not a general issue, it would probably be a script error on their part. Or, they may have set their scripts not to pay at all, which certainly does happen. You can tell if this is the case by the fact that they mute and ban you for asking about it :)

Wow, that sounds kinda shady. It seems like if a group is scaming large numbers of people out of $, that would be a problem. Another guy who's discovered the same issue said he sent a message to the land owner about it, but hasn't heard anything back yet.

A lot of users are gonna be pissed when they discover this...

Thanks for responding. Any other newbies here who are doing camping should check their totals carefully to make sure they aren't also getting stiffed.

Spread the word inworld and don't camp there, let the bots have the no paying pads.
Well you are expecting honesty from everyone in a group that contains a lot of people cheating the traffic system.

Heard from other users that Zweite Welt isn't paying, so it's not just you. Better scratch that one from your list.
