Please vote for Prop 230, the warning sign act II. This will require anyone who has a deviced designed to keep people out of their property to have warning signs that rez quickly and will more than likely cut down an the number of un-intentional intrusions.

1) where are you going to put the sign?

2) how big does it have to be?

3) how many of them should they have?

4) What should the warning say?

5) From what directions should the sign be visible?

6) Define "rez quickly"

7) How would you make a prim rez quicker than any other prim?

All around the property enought to be seen from all angles.

From: someone
2) how big does it have to be?

Big enought to be seen from a good distance away

From: someone
3) how many of them should they have?

As many as it takes to be seen from all along the border or a few very large signs that lets everyone know this land is off limits.

From: someone
4) What should the warning say?

Keep out
Do not enter
Whatever it takes to convey the message this land is restricted

From: someone
5) From what directions should the sign be visible?

From all directions necessary


From: someone
6) Define "rez quickly"

Probably a device that uses a single prim with a texture.

From: someone
7) How would you make a prim rez quicker than any other prim?

By not loading any script into it and keeping the texture simple.


This is a very good bill. It is a common sense bill. And it will cut way down on the number of accidental intrusions of property.

It is a common sense bill.

If it were common sense, we wouldn't need the "law" the bill represents.

And I agree with Lordfly, it's too vague. I can see where you're going with this, but if you're going to ask for a change to the TOS, you need to find a way that makes minimal impact on people while still acheiving the goal. Too much wiggle room weakens it and opens the potential for effects not intended.

So, what landowners need, in order to make their land non-accessible, is to make a huge wall around their property, that says "KEEP OUT" in giant, block letters.

That's a lot of prims, when instead they could just make a script that says "hey, you have 10 seconds to leave this property before i kick you out".

I am sure the lindens will see to it that owners will know what is expected of them if they use property restriction devices

That too is a sign. A script that tells people they have 1 minute to clear out is with-in the scope of the warning act

Good point. I tried to incorporate all your suggestions into the Warning Sign Act II Prop 230
