Official ruling on re-rezzers

Dear Linden folks,

Could I please request an official ruling on whether or not it is permitted for a resident to bypass parcel building limits by creating a built structure (including, but not limited to, a house or shop) as a temp-on-rez object, and then using a single scripted prim placed on their land to re-rez the structure every 30 seconds or so. This causes the structure to be effectively permanent while consuming only 1 prim from their parcel, but it also causes regular rezzes of a large object (creating extra load), and consumes temp-on-rez primitives.

I would like to know clearly whether this falls within the TOS (and is therefore acceptable for everyone) or outside it (and is therefore unacceptable for everyone).

Thank you,
Yumi.

Dear Yumi,

The context of each incident like this must be considered, for the reason that on one end, there are vendors that use this purpose for merchandise (including miniature models) which are alright, and on the other end, I have seen "re-rezzers" repeatedly do sets of 5000 prims in a sandbox (!).

If noticeable performance degradation is observed in the region--press Ctrl-Shift-1 and look in the Statistics Bar for any anomalies--then this is not likely allowed. A friendly word can go a long way to the owner and so can education that for the sake of stability in general circumstances, it's better to own more land with more prims and use them wisely... but if that fails, then it's reasonable to send an abuse report from the HELP menu on the following grounds from the Community Standards:You're welcome!
