Catastrophic Recovery Feature

I just witnessed my neighbor, delete an entire 1/8 sim of objects by turning on Auto Return. It seems that he had re-deeded the land to include his new GF.

Because of a lot of abandoned prim litter in our area, I suggested that he turn on Auto Return, not knowing that the land had been re-deeded!

Poof! Gone! I am devastated and embarrassed beyond belief.

How about a Restore feature to fall back on. I am sure many people have experienced this type of disaster.

If nothing else, at least add a failsafe like in the sell land feature that will require someone to verify what they are doing and possibly a warning depending on the perms of the land.

Any suggestions?

If the Client can remember the last location you were at with a picture, I would think it would not be that difficult to remember the last state of your possessions.

A warning pointing out what will be removed when auto-return is switched on would certainly be a good idea.

Beyond that though, in such cases it should be possible to request a rollback via secondlife.com/support

Also, when items are returned in large quantities via auto-return, they tend to be grouped together, it may be worthwhile for your neighbour to try rezzing returned items and manipulating them as a group, should be able to get set back up again fairly quickly this way
