From: jamie Cheeky Me and a neigbour were doing a trasnaction of land at a cheap price as we were friends and no one was on radar we assumed it would be safe. The land was set and immediately I went to buy it only to find someone else had already bought it! We contacted a linden who did some reaseach but bascially said they had the right to buy this land as it was set for anyone.
How can this be right that people can buy land from under your feet via a bot wihtin one second flat and then when asked they will not return it!. This is a cheats way of aquiring land and a very unprofessional one at that..... anyone else had this issue and got their land back? you ASS-U-ME-d incorrectly THATS WHY theres a BUTTON that lets you sell it to only 1 SPECIFIED party thanks for playing |

Because if your friend wanted to sell it to you, then he should have set it for sale too you specifically, rather than set to anyone. I agree, bots suck, and your friend was probably cutting you a deal, which, is what triggered the bot to buy it instantly. This is a case of live and learn... I don't know how new you are to all this, but you learned a hard lesson. The thing that gets me is LL could stop this cold with one simple update that changes the land purchase to include a Turing test, (you've seen them on the web, where you have to type in a sequence of letters and or numbers to prove you're a person and not a bot). Why LL allows this to go on is entirely unfair to everyone, and gives the people who use them an unfair advantage. Land bots, camping bots, no matter what type of bot it is, LL could put a stop to this by adding this simple feature that has existed on the web for years. |

From: Eric Cale Capitalism unregulated becomes a big Monopoly mess. Actually, it is extremely difficult to acquire a monopoly without a government to squelch one's competitors in the guise of "regulation." |

And it's never to late to point out that it's spelled "your", not "ur", for dog's sake *points at the thread title*

From: 3Ring Binder what's a 'necro thread'? A thread that has died and has been brought back to life at the whims of either an accidental dabbling with forums occult, or intentional Necromatic Forums troll Majik. |
