✨ Feature Requests

Hello, everybody... It was so good and so very useful, that we could change the names of the groups... For example, I own the Spiritual Art Group, founded to promote the events of my previous Spiritual Art Gallery, founded in, 2008, that ended in 2014. Now, since 2021, I'm the owner and art curator of the Kondor Art Center... ti was excellent to rename the group, with a more adequate name, referring the Kondor Art Center. Can you please tell me when will it be possible ? Thank you Best regards Hermes Kondor

As a new user, the concept of "chat range" is probably entirely alien. This often results in new accounts going way outside the normal 20m range and yammering away with nobody to hear them. I propose that the normal chat range for linden-owned welcome areas is increased to full region, and that privately-owned welcome areas (FS Social Island for instance) be given the necessary region debug controls to set their own chat ranges. This may improve the new user experience by making things a little more easy, both for the mentors and users alike, to communicate in local chat. I know this is something that is possible with an event-class region and not all private-owned welcome areas are event-class, but they are providing a service to the platform, and having some extra options should really be given for gratis in return for that.

A resident who has been banned from a parcel/region should not be able to message other residents on that very parcel/region. (Exceptions could be, that they are on their friend list or have been contacted before yet.) Reason: This could help to prevent more drama and protect businesses. A griefer who is banned from our shipyard is frequently camping next to it and messaging our customers defaming us trying to deter them from buying our ships. I'm sure we are not the only ones who have this problem. Edit: Additionally I would suggest that a banned resident should not be able to see other residents on the land he is banned from, neither inworld nor on the minimap. (Thank you @Bavid Dailey for this idea!) I think, this would make the "work" of any griefer harder, too.

Many people at the forums (and in world) would love to be able to outright block. When an ignored avatar (in world and in the forums) is blocked, they can still interact in unfavorable ways. Trolls should be limited, but the only thing limited is my ability to protect my privacy.

Considering the number of SL-related communities on Discord and the big DIscord exodus right now thanks to the age verification/ID-leak issue with Discord it would be nice if LL offered an alternative, e.g. by setting up a Matrix home server (e.g. tuwunel https://matrix-construct.github.io/tuwunel/ ) where SL communities wishing to move off Discord can find a new home and where SL users can communicate when not logged into SL itself. If LL could provide a Matrix Space for Second Life even communities wishing to be hosted on other home servers could be listed there, providing a central place for SL users using Matrix to find SL-related communities on Matrix.

the webserver in SLS is missing some important abilities that are part of the http standard. I understand that there is a proxy server between my LSL webserver and the external internet, and therefore some restrictions must apply. But the omissions I have fallen over recently are not onerous for proxy server. For example basic realm authorisation setting cookies returning a redirect status These 3 require being able to set stock standard HTTP headers in the generated response , as is done by llSetContentType for the CONTENT_TYPE header. I'd also like to be able to do chunked responses. I accept that's a bit more ambitious So my request boils down to Please provide a function llSetHeader for at good subset of the standard HTTP headers. It should function with the same constraints as llSetContentType does.

SL has changed over the years. Casual interaction used to be the default, but now it’s the exception, and most people hesitate to reach out unless they’re sure it’s welcome. Established residents usually have their friend groups, but newer people often struggle to fit in or know who’s open to chat. Many residents are looking for simple, low‑key interaction, but SL mainly gives us tools to signal that we’re busy, like autorespond, unavailable, mute, and away. There’s no equivalent way to show that we’re open to interact. It would be helpful if SL had a simple visual indicator to show when someone is open to chat. Maybe something in the profile, preferences, or even a small marker above the avatar that residents can turn on when they’re in the mood to interact. A clear, universal signal like this could make everyday socializing feel less awkward and a lot more natural. Thanks!

Since developers can no longer offer custom creation services to Second Life residents through the SL forums or the official SL Discord server, I strongly suggest implementing a paid developer advertisement system, similar to Marketplace ads, with a fixed duration—or alternatively, a review-based listing system, as used in Roblox developer Discord servers. This approach would address several unresolved issues: Should Second Life users be limited to purchasing whatever is available on the Marketplace, or should they have a clear, supported option to commission customized work? Is it more effective to allow hundreds or thousands of scattered threads requesting custom creation, or to centralize offerings through a smaller number of developer listings? Is it better for users to blindly cast a net—risking scams or poor-quality work—or to choose developers based on demonstrated portfolios and verified reviews from LL list ? Should developers who aim to enhance the Second Life experience be forced to individually explain workflows and requirements through private IMs, or should this information be publicly accessible in a centralized, transparent location? For a well-established platform like Second Life, should users and developers be left exposed to high-commission, third-party websites, effectively treated as prey rather than protected participants in the ecosystem? A structured paid or review-based advertising system would reduce spam, improve user safety, and provide consistency and accountability for both users and developers.

Hi! I run a medium sized Community in Second Life. Over the years, my community, like many others moved from using the Group Chat features in Second Life to discord due to the need for the ability to have persistent discussions that happen over the long term. However, I feel that this has had the side effect of giving my community less of a reason to log into Second Life. After all, all of the community discussions happen outside of Second Life now in discord instead. I believe that if we had a persistent group chat, many users will log into Second Life, simply to see what messages they missed in the group chats whilst they were away, which will ultimately lead to more activity. Communities like mine would be able to transition back to using Second Life as our primary communication venue, which will be good for Second Life's long-term health as more people will be engaging with the platform and helping it to grow, and in turn help financially justify other much-needed improvements to the group chat system.

The social layer has thinned while visual fidelity has skyrocketed, and the result is a world that often feels like a perpetual after‑hours mall: lights on, everything polished, but no event, no activity, no reason for the emptiness. This creates liminal realism; spaces that look ready for life but aren’t alive. High detail, low purpose. Beautiful, but empty in a way that feels wrong rather than peaceful. Many builds today are optimized for: Flickr shots vendor ads profile pics decorating shopping solitude They look “open,” but they behave “closed.” Exploring becomes unsettling because the world is visually loud but socially silent. Our senses say something should be happening, but nothing is and nothing will. The Request: Introduce simple, optional tools that let creators signal intentional emptiness: “Closed” “Under Construction” “Off Hours” “Not a Social Space” Even a small indicator would resolve the cognitive dissonance. It tells the brain: “This place is empty on purpose.” That alone kills the uncanny hum. This isn’t about forcing activity. Emptiness can be beautiful. It’s about giving emptiness a reason so residents don’t feel like they’ve walked into a world that’s waiting for something that will never happen. New residents would benefit from a heads‑up that not every space is meant to feel active. SL is perpetually under construction. :-)
