A request of all the entertainers out there.

Well I hope you don't think of me as a rude and inconsiderate person. The way you worded your responce to me sounded a little like it was going towards that direction.

But I'll try the IMing them more then I normally do before I tp them for a while and see how that goes.

Seriously.

Group notices with LM attachments are teh best.

I don't like blind TPs. Yes, they're usually annoying; normally I'm busy and I ignore them.

HOWEVER... on rare occasions, I just *might* want to follow up at some point in time. But the person has usually overwritten the name of the sim and writes in the TP request "Come and party with us!" But now... I don't know WHERE the party is... And I don't want to keep that damn TP request up in the corner of my screen (see next paragraph). I like to at least know WHERE I'm going if it's going to be a "blind" request.

Also... I've learned the hard way... not to keep a TP request sitting up in the corner for a long time... if TPs stack up, you can end up going somewhere different than you planned... On a handful of occasions, I've had a TP request sitting up for 15 minutes... finally click the thing.. and find myself somewhere entirely different. Somehow another TP request snuck in and overrides where you think you're going. "Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to come here, meant to go elsewhere instead..."

they annoy me too.

Turning up naked - no problem but bald - MAJOR problem

Oh..blind tp's
When ever I tp, I say what it ist for.

Like, "I'm DJing at (club) from (when to when) and the event is (such) with the prize is (amount)

and Beezle Warburton, its friends that are who I tp, group notices are for those who are in the group, and I do group notices and group IM as well.

I'm new enough to SL that this hasn't been a problem for me, yet, but I sympathize and agree with the OP: it's rude to just send someone a TP, unannounced. I don't get a lot of those (yet).

I feel similarly about group announcements, and I'm happy to see that I have the ability to decide, for each group, *not* to receive their announcements.

Here's a problem I see with SL, that applies to group announcements, and perhaps, to TP offers, too:

When I log in to SL, there are a number of them, waiting for me. They might have been sent any time since I last logged in. They may be days old... so, they're of no use to anyone, now. I'd like the option to have them be kept somewhere else, like a folder, instead of popping up on my screen every stinking time I log in. I must click through each, to get rid of each, before I can finally see Second Life. Also, they don't have time stamps, so I don't know when they arrived. I must either read each, for clues, or delete without reading.

Maybe sending them to a folder after, say, 24 hours, might be a nice feature, or... simply having the auto-delete after a certain time, so that I'm never bothered by them. I'd be tempted to say that an announcement should have an expiration time, chosen by the person who sends one, but I doubt that many would choose any option but the longest, and that wouldn't help me.
