[Opensim-users] Privacy in lands

[Mike Chase]

It's a feature, unwanted or not that the viewers used to connect to OpenSim
support.  If someone wants to do the work to implement the code and its
disable-able I'd think it would be accepted into core.  People then can
enable or disable as they desire.

There are two different issues. A security orb is a fine solution - for a
different problem!

Security orbs will keep people out if they try to come in, for instance to
use your furniture. However, an orb can't prevent people from camming in.

Although I fail to see the allure of horizontal activities in virtual, it is
strong for many. Those many are looking for privacy and Linden Labs, in an
effort not to lose all of the users on the already defunct, ugly mainland,
catered to these desires by allowing to stop people from camming into a
parcel.

However, as I said, this feature makes for a very unwelcoming experience and
in OpenSim it is just as easy to have a sim as it is to have a parcel, or
nearly so.

IMHO, OpenSim doesn't need this "privacy" feature because we don't need to
repeat all of LL's mistakes.
