Please add derender objects to LL viewer
deesue Parx
I often switch back and forth between Firestorm and LL Viewer when helping customers with issues. I have found ways to be comfortable with either viewer BUT the limitation on LL viewer to not be able to derender a neighbor's way too low sky platform, a surround box that blocks my view of the water, or a random chair hanging in mid-air is very limiting. It seems a small thing but can make a huge difference when wanting to be comfortable on one's own mainland plot.

In the Adult Content FAQ found here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Adult_Content_FAQ how is one supposed to comply with "What does "behind closed doors" mean?" Requirement 3: "Enclose the area behind walls or other visual barriers." if people can just derender those barriers?

Kristy Aurelia derender objects has been on the Firestorm Viewer all along and it works just fine. It only affects the persons view derendering the object .. not for all. And you DO understand that being behind walls or other visual barriers is a false image right? (there is this thing called camming that goes through walls) it why we also have the ability to set privacy in parcels and areas. We are asking for a simple means of removing a giant prim wall that unnecessarily blocks a view of water.. or a forgotten object ignored by an owner who may only live in the sky and not realize (or care) if its there.

deesue Parx Sure, but the TOS is written with the capabilities of LL viewer in mind, not Firestorm. Changes in functionality would require revisiting the guidelines. Also, you're not going to accidentally cam though a wall, that needs intention.
Consider this example, someone builds a boxy empty room, you decide that you don't like it and derender it, now you're back to an empty field. You come back the next day, and now it is full of adult content that you're exposed to, even though it was supposed to be hidden behind a wall.
To be honest, that part is just nitpicking, the real issue is breaking the shared experience - if everyone sees the world differently, what is even the point of a shared world? When a friend visits you, do you give them a list of things: "Here, derender all of these"? What about derendering demo 'watermarks' or people's clothes?
Also... If a neighbour's dog poops on your lawn, do you 'right click -> derender' it, or do you speak to the dog's owner to resolve the issue?
SL is supposed to be a social platform, and features like this contribute to it being less social. Have you tried walking around a shopping event? Where bunch of people ram straight into you because they're have 'render only friends' enabled? How about all the new people who try out SL and then ask "where is everyone?" Well... they're all in their own 'friends only, derender everything that's not mine' bubble.

I definitely wouldn't ever use a viewer that doesn't have a derender/asset blacklist feature. There are way too many annoyances out there, particularly loud and obnoxious sounds.
