Do you control your inventory, or does it control you?

A large inventory is going to eventually cause you major problems, so here are some tips to help you control your inventory, and have a smoother  SL ride.

 

Excess inventory causes lag!  

 

Why is this, you ask?  Because every item in your inventory is a line in the database.  The more inventory you have, the longer it will take your inventory to load, and finding and retrieving things can literally cause lag for you and other people on the same sim as you.  You may also experience inventory loss if the database can't find what what you're after. 

 

The best way to prevent loss and lag associated with inventory is to keep your inventory clean. Dedicate about 30 minutes each sl session to cleaning out inventory.  you can do it while you're standing around,  camping, waiting on people, etc. It's fairly easy to do.

 

Copyright & SecondLife

You should not use copyrighted or trademarked material in Second Life, unless of course you have a right to use the intellectual property. Your rights are defined by applicable copyright and trademark law, including the law of fair use.

 

Real world laws apply to intellectual property infringement, and nothing about your use of Second Life will shield you if you are infringing on someone else's intellectual property- the rightful owner of the IP can take direct legal action against you in real world courts of law.

 

The following describes more detail about how Linden staff treat trademark and copyright issues in-world:

 

Trademarked Material

Linden staff generally removes content that uses trademarks without apparent authorization, with or without giving notice to the object owner. This generally includes all RL corporate logos and brand names.

 

Profile ToS Disclaimers

When you joined SecondLife, you agreed to abide by the Linden Lab Terms of Service, commonly referred to as the ToS. Whether you read it or not, as soon as you accessed SecondLife you became bound by the ToS.

 

So any disclaimer you have in your profile is meaningless. You can contact Linden Lab to verify this if you wish.

 

Section 4 of the Community Standards states this:

 

Disclosure

Residents are entitled to a reasonable level of privacy with regard to their Second Life experience. Sharing personal information about your fellow Residents without their consent -- including gender, religion, age, marital status, race, sexual preference, alternate account names, and real-world location beyond what is provided by them in their Resident profile -- is not allowed. Remotely monitoring conversations in Second Life, posting conversation logs, or sharing conversation logs without the participants' consent are all prohibited.

 

While it doesn't mention local chat conversations, local chat conversations cannot be shared.

 

The Community Standards are linked to the ToS.
