OK, won't give the exact land location because it would lead to easy identification of owner, and I'm not sure that's against forum rules, so go check out Thetidia 159, 239, and take a look at the monstrosity right next to you. It isn't far from my own land although not close enough to disturb me visually (I'm in a nearby sim outside of maximum draw distance). It would probably be the final straw that saw me drop my premium account and leave the mainland for good if it did appear near my place -- provided I could sell my land with something like that nearby, that is.
I've noticed that lots of land around this eyesore is going up for sale within a couple of days of its appearance. But the ugly block itself isn't up for sale. So what is going on here? Will it go up for sale for an extortionate price in a few days maybe? Or will the nearby land now going up for sale suddenly be snapped up and carved into 16m2 chunks? It just seems like such an unneighbourly structure that I assume there's a financial reason for its presence. The huge images actually block the entire view from one person's balcony..giving them something quite ugly to look at whereas before, the view was quite nice.
My Guardian Angel attachment picked up the owner arriving nearby about ten minutes ago...so I flew over. Thought I'd welcome him to the neighbourhood. As I started typing...he teleported out.

I guess this is what is being talked about... That's the one Shack. Interesting replies. Hadn't considered that somebody might be using it to get the land for personal use. Just to profit from. Forgot to mention: the owner quickly doubled its height on his visit today. I wonder if he'll drag copy another section tomorrow. _____________________

I guess this is what is being talked about... I'm sorry but I find the use of the American Flag in that wall offensive...If he were to build next to me the aggressive side of me(dormant till i saw that pic) would surely come out... seems courtesy to your neighbor is non existant and i feel sorry for the people living there...adding my 2 L worth and keep the change... rain |

The mangled-body pictures should be ARable.
That looks like a pretty typical griefbuild to me, either with the intention of harassing somebody nearby or driving down land prices and encouraging people to sell so that a larger parcel can be obtained. |

I have a similar monstrosity next to me... why people just build such junk is beyond me, and pay for the privilege.

A classified symbol has since appeared at this location on the map, so I looked it up.

From what I can see in the background, the land looks really nice too. A shame.
Btw, the "What kind of reaction" type message in the corner is fairly transparent. A.P |
