As a person that did have a premium account and decided to rent insted due to ease of use - i like to be told of the 'small writing' in advance,
this entire thread started because a person stated that someone was doing this without prewarning or explaining of this small writing - mearly saying the person was sellin the land without disclousing that what they were selling was a lease for the land not the actual land itself,
in rl this would of resulted in various court actions and even a term in prison but as its sl this person could of sold the lease, forgot to pay the teir, and not have any reprocutions,
when i buy the rented land i 'own' i am prewarned about such possibilitys by the landlord and accept them, the people that would of brought the land of the person who the thread is originally about would not be warned and therefor would not know that their land could of been lost for reasons unbeknownst to them (excuse my spelling) including forgotten payments on the landlords and/or selling the entire sim to a person without making sure current rental leases are kept or rebated,
where as land brought through LL would be given fair warning and the land loss would be the person whos brought the lands fault or lindens with fair warning and possible rebate from linden labs for the loss
the origional warning was legitimate - several points brought up late in this thread was also usefull and legitimate
the instant flamewar against a competitor because this original warning was assumed to be an attempt to undercut the person is totally outrageous and goes to prove that some people are in second life for the money, not the social enviroment (it is not a 'game' persay)
as a person who in rl had had to go to court with a buisness over a simular situation with a printing company (who gave me a price and changed after saying i did not ask to havethe price of the stapling and folding included even thou the document i sent to them on buisness paper - via the pc so a backup was kept thankfully - ask for all charges involved - yup we won in the end) i am shocked and dismayed to find a person who showed this 'bad' apple to warn others and hopefully keep the estate rental buisness a 'blight' free zone was in the end to show that nearly the entire trees worth of rental buisness should be chopped down due to infection
nearly all people in this thread who would have hoped to rent land to me has lost my buisness, and hopefully others after seeing rather than read the statement that would of freed them of this underhander would rather go the spindoctor route and blast an opposition even thou they stated a fiction free statment
alleiz, i am currently unabe to enter sl for the time being due to where i am living at the mo, but upon my return (hopefully next week sumtime) i would like to be put on your 'waiting' list for rental space, the rest can go back to backstabbing
