[Opensim-users] Why do I lose permission on my own prims?

[Vanish]

Hi,

when on your own simulator, you can usually request admin status and  
change any object permissive again through the admin menu (accessed  
through "request admin status" in either the advanced or develop menus).  
As Wade said, the permission system isn't exactly the most amazing thing  
we have, and I wish it would be optional.
