From: Colette Meiji this is absolutely needed.
I had one friend who liked to TP to me on the map and come find me .. without IM'ing first
She musta walked in on me and a lover 3 or 4 times.
never got the hint that it might happpen again ... *rolls eyes* She may not have been adept at setting up the frame for a good picture and needed a few tries.

All those suggestions sound better than what we've got to work with now. Levels of access settings would so help. I'm almost never so "busy" I want to block everyone out, but maybe everyone but say my 10 closest buds. That would be a step in the right direction.
Oh and I had a b/f that had a few groupies that would just show up anyplace, walk in the door and start talking while we were en flagranted delicto. We were also in voice so the intruder never heard me laughing my ass off at the absurdity of it all as we kept to our business and they yammered on. I guess that's prolly kinky but, hey wtvr ! lol
The hardest thing to explain I find, is that when I'm hosting or building or designing, that there will be long pauses. I'm not ignoring them, only have two hands, one input area at a time and one mouth, should they be in voice. OH and that's the other one, folks that I voice chat with, that's helpful, I dont' lose them when I swap screens to PS or soemthing but do they understand it's voice or wait 2 hours? Not always. Non-designers, love'em dearly, I do, just wonder sometimes ... about ... butterflies ... do they object to being associated with processed bovine milk? Does their view shudder when they wobble about?
Oh, wrong screen sorry.

Thankfully I don't have friends so I don't have this problem at all.

From: Hiro Queso Anyone who maps me like that gets their card cancelled straight away. Some people just don't get it. Thanks for saying that. I had a "friend" come find me last night after IMing me for 5 minutes straight while I was trying to play Punwar. Apparently she didn't believe I was playing Punwar (and i had to quit the game because of her). I got so annoyed I removed her from friend list and have felt guilty about it ever since. You've absolved me of my leftover guilt, ty  |

never got the hint that it might happpen again ... *rolls eyes* This reminded me of an embarassing situation that happened to me awhile ago in SL. I was letting a friend of mine have a house on my land in Mavericks. On the plot where my store now stands, there used to be a furniture store. One day not too long after I put up the house for my friend, I decided to swing buy the furniture store and buy something for her to help furnish it. Anyway, as I was buying something for her, I noticed a what I thought was a single dot on the radar in the house, so I walked across to the house and started to go inside. As I got to the front of the house, some text like "oooh yeah, that's it, F*** ME!!" popped up on my screen and there was some definite sex ball action going on (on the stairway I had just built for her house). I did a u-turn and walked away as fast as I could (though I did leave the lamp I bought by sliding it into the living room with my camera and then signing off ). Between the mysterious lesbian sex waterfall in Federal and that experience, I learned not to walk up to dots on the radar lol.

I ask people in my profile NOT to IM me within 15 minutes of coming online. Of course, there's one exception, Jennyfur, my wife. However, a lot of others think they're exceptions too. Then they get mad when I don't reply right away. When I log in, I typically have 5-10 offline IMs ALREADY WAITING for me I need to reply to. Then I like to settle into this little V.R. place we call Second Life before I immediately am bombarded. I think it might be time to cancel all my cards / friendships so people stop getting online notifications.  I can relate. Regards, -Flip

Regards, -Flip You know the more i think about it , the more i realize how stupid the "Online" works is in Second Life. What I mean is , your friends all get a message you log in - there is now ability to shut this off so they dont know. Even in 1998 ICQ let you be invisible. Okay - add insult to injury - ANYONE can look up your name in the "find" and tell if your online. Add a thumb in the eye to insult - If your offline, they can snoop through your groups and figure out what date you last logged on. In a game where its user created content - this is even worse than other online games. It would be like going to the mall, seeing some jeans on sale , buying them. Then becuase they dont fit Calling the store owner At home on the phone with a reverse caller ID that tells you they are home. I think the game should have a ingame message system that the user can ignore till they want to read it - Sort of Like Evemail in the game Eve. Business owners could purchase a buisness mailbox for a small weekly fee, so they could keep the business messages and private ones in seperate places. The ability to IM people "out of the blue" should be curtailed somewhat. No one not on your friends list should be able to tell if your online. |
