If the online status is set to "hidden", it should not be able for scripts (i.e. "Online monitors") to reveal the avatar. An exception could be made if the scripted item and the avatar are in the same parcel (for shopping reasons etc.).

There is a vast amount of content available where the object itself is modifiable, but the scripts or other content it contains are no mod. It is possible to rename such objects or change their description by rezzing them in world, renaming and then taking back into inventory. It is not possible however to rename the same objects directly in inventory, or when attached. This limitation makes the process of renaming modify objects unnecessarily difficult.

Please make animations usable with their UUID like many other asset types already are. Currently animations are a lone wolf in that they cannot be referenced by UUID when they intuitively should be. Currently with scripts: Textures able to be displayed with their UUID Sounds can be played with their UUID Notecards can be read with their UUID Materials, a brand new asset type, is able to be displayed with UUID Animations: 🙃 llGetInventoryKey and llGetPrimitiveParams/etc already implement protection against obtaining UUIDs without the proper asset permissions. I do not think that an arcane limitation like "no animations by UUID" is appropriate especially with the upcoming improvements to animated mesh with the GLTF project, and to server-side scripting with the Lua VM project.

In preferences we have the ability to unchecked a box to prevent accidentally TPing to an Adult region. The current options are G, GM, and GMA, but there is no option for either M or MA without G. It would be nice to have the option to block G regions if one is only in SL for adult activities and dresses that way. A warning pop-up letting a person know that the region they will be landing in is not in their safe region rating and asking if they want to TP anyway or cancel the TP would also work. Give us the option to prevent an accidental TP if we have inappropriate clothing on for the land rating. Gotta keep Grandma happy!

Experience permissions are neat, great, useful, and yet polarizing. Really handy for the scripter, really annoying for the user who knows that clicking Accept means they've just given some person or group of persons the permission to do many things to them anywhere the experience is enabled. But there's an easy solution! Experiences are tied to locations after all. Let's borrow a well-established convention from mobile apps: Add a button for ["Only for this visit"] The whole set of mechanisms for this is already in place; basically we just need the extra button and a value flag. When this choice is made, the experience is granted as usual BUT when the user leaves the region, the temporary experience is automatically revoked. (And the ability to manually revoke remains as-is). This single additional option would make it much easier to temporarily trust experiences without the significant cleanup effort that usually comes with accepting experiences. The existing mechanism to trust Experiences long-term would still remain, but this would help a ton!

Currently, scripts in items which are no-mod cannot be reset if they should stop working. If the item is also no-copy, you cannot get a backup from stored inventory (as is the case of many former gachas). With no way to get the item again in the form of redelivery, and no way to reset the scripts due to permissioning, the item, bought and paid for, is now useless, no longer tradeable to another, no longer functioning, and wasted money This Feature Request proposes allowing script reset (and ONLY script reset) to be used on these product, while not allowing the user to elsewise access the protected item's inventory or scripting. If the reset would normally display a dialogue, this reset action, upon checking the no-mod status, will also suppress the dialogue, thus passing to the user only the Done or Error condition while not revealing anything of the internal working that caused the failure-to-reset.

I propose adding an object-wide flag that can be set even for no-mod items (similar to the "for sale" bit and other status flags), which prevents textures from rendering as full bright. (This feature is misused so often that it would be nice to be able to disable it at the land level, too.) Frankly, this is a plague on SL. Any time you have an area with multiple creators, somebody has to play the "full bright police" and nag everyone else to remove all the full bright items from their builds. Even worse, no-mod items are sold on the marketplace with full-bright textures. Why would any possibly want a glow-in-the-dark painting? Who knows! But people still sell no-mod artwork with full-bright textures, and when the item is photographed at precisely the right angle and time of day, there's no way to tell. I get it: there are a few cases where you really do want full bright textures, like a light bulb, computer screen, or something else that produces its own light. But these are so rare that the majority of full-bright textures are just visual litter. They aren't wanted by the people seeing them, and in the no-mod case, they usually aren't wanted by people placing the objects either!

Premium badges show on profiles and some don't want people knowing they pay for that. Not everyone wants people to know they are praying for an account. Some in SL don't want people to know they have a home. Some don't want other rl members to see they actually paid for a virtual account. There are many reasons. It should be a choice of whether you want to show that. I know I will not pay for that to be displayed.

Hello! Currently now only the owner of the region can pay rent. It would be nice if the owner could appoint another member, perhaps as a "co-owner" with the ability to pay the region rent. This would be useful for business type of regions where there is more than one person contributing.

When setting an in-world object to sale, add a section/marker to only allow a specific avatar or member of a specific group to buy the object.
