Hi

I have a friend that has 130 L$.

He told me that sometimes, without buying anything, his credit is decreased by 1 L$.

Now, after four days, his credit is 128 L$.

Anyone can tell me why?

Thanks

Group liability?

There's an issue with group and land that I don't quite remember the details of, but if there's a shortfall then the system deducts something from all group members to cover it.

My guess is that it's related to this somehow.

Yep, he is the member of a group that is buying land or paying tier and taking a small percentage from its members to help pay for it.

Sometime the owner of a group does not even realise that standard group members are paying group liability. Your friend should IM the founder and complain. Even though 1L$ is an insignificant amount of money it's the principle.

Tell him to look in his account history (my account > account history > click on linden dollar link), that will show him exactly where it is going.

This is incorrect. Group liability can never be used to buy land or pay tier. The only liability groups pay is the L$30 Search Places fee on any land deeded to it. By default this charge is on the Everyone role so all members get stuck with an equal share of it.

its correct and incorrect.

He is losing money due to the search places, yes.

He is gaining money because the group sold something - usually that's land, but can also be group objects being paid into - such as tip jars.

Sounds like he belongs to a group that's running a business and didn't set up the group liability so that only officers or owners pay it.

Well, the OP didn't say anything about gaining money. But you are otherwise correct.
