More Privacy for Your Home

To prevent unintentional vsitors and trespassers from being able to see what's not intended for them, I suggest to add an option on each of the parcel to visible / invisible from outside the parcels.

Assume you bought a land in a hilltop but soon a senseless mall or sex club was built next to your lovely home. You blocked tresspassers by turning on group only access, but you lost your relaxing carefully time with your SL Lover because you "know" that they can still see your avatars from outside the parcel.

If you check on the "invisible" checkbox of the land option, you will be invisible to the clients outside your parcel. And in combinations with the access blocking, you can have your carefree time with your friends at home at any place in mainland (will lead to mainland price drops).

Chat should still be heard by outsiders, but you can get around it by whispering or using a conference chat.



Anyone agrees to this suggestion, please share your thought with your comments. Let's refine it so that LL can (if they want to) consider implementing it.

I will post this in JIRA, maybe it is easier.

There are several JIRA issues for this already. Firstly is the catch-all meta-issue for privacy:
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-241

Specifically, the requests you sound interested in are 3d permissions zones (allowing you to block access/visibility to any area of your parcel):
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-99

Privacy-pockets (a non-viewable chunk of a parcel based on height):
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-205

Parcel cloaking (exactly the same as you describe):
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-599

Is it possible LL might do this for restricted parcels?

According to the parcel cloaking JIRA issue (SVC-599) it sounds as though they might, which should mean at least that there is the possibility of them being able to add it as an option in future.

I'm still strongly against doing it on a parcel level though:
I have a home in the sky (a little prettier than the usual skyboxes) that I would like to hide, but I don't mind if people wander around on my land below as I'm trying to decorate it a little to make a nice area for the surrounding buildings.
