Love the idea Gizmo about donate.  I really do like the idea if being a to 'donate.'  I also like the idea of Xgold transfer. I'll keep this brief and mildly entertaining. Without enforcement here are things you may have to deal with.

 

If I was an asshole....

I'd make a room using another account and sell things others made as mine till things got too hot. Then I would make another room with a new account and repeat till it got too hot again.

 

If i was an asshole...

I might open a brothel and require patrons to 'donate' for 'services.'  And after payment or poor service or no service, simply close up and laugh at how i just scammed them.

 

If I was an asshole...

For a donation' up front will show you a good time in my place. And after payment, simply close the room. Rinse and repeat.

If I was an asshole...

(This one makes a lot of money)

"Oh Gizmo...I'd love to cam for you on skype, but my dog died, I have no money...and I really need $50 dollars to pay for my daughters life saving treatment...you sexy hunk of man you. But, if you wanna help poor little me, you can donate in my room and I'll meet you on Skype."

 

One last one...but there are so many I've seen.

 

If I was an asshole...

I'd use a room and the donate feature to claim to provide complete hosting packages. I'd offer - for a fee up front, to provide DJ's  greeters, and and dance teams to make your club popular. I'd pay some and not others. I'd promise to pay them and when I can't put them off anymore I may take what I made delete that account and lay low for awhile till I thought of how to pull that off again.

 

Just a few things to think of.

Last 4 aren't your problem. That is user to user, but you will hear complaints for sure and will need to spell that out.   First one is though.

 

People could already do all those things using paypal, for example. But they don't. /thread

What gave you the idea it didn't bother me or others who shared before?

Because you shared despite the fact that people could do whatever they wanted with your creations.

I don't mean to sound like a dick, but why are you using psc? You surely have bank account as an adult? Always thought psc were used by underaged people and scammers.

Being used to worlds with economies, I can safely say there will be those who choose to sell and those who choose to share. Those who choose to share will now share for real. Not because they have no choice, but because they choose too.

My only concern is how will it be handled people selling other peoples builds - intellectual property in short.. In worlds with economies there are safeguards and it is a bannable offense. They have staff who investigate claims. There are those for instance, who have taken my builds, added a few things and now claim to be creations of their own 'by xxx.' 

I don't think this is a bad idea in the least provided there is some protection for builders who share. Which, there should have been from the beginning.

To be quite frank, I like to share, but it pisses the fuck outta me to be fucked over for sharing. I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel this way.

Sounds like you are pissed just because there's a financial factor in play now. You didn't care before, did you? I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think there will be many donations going around anyway.

Hello @Lisa

How does .... Buy XGold for other players .....Not conflict with what is in your rules ? Because according to your rules if someone asks for gold it's against the rules.
Why did you implement this option ? Can you give us some thoughts behind it ?

2.06. Begging/Soliciting in any form is prohibited in all game chats and channels. Begging/Soliciting includes but is not limited to: requesting users to transfer real money to the virtual wallet, asking for additional credits, and requests to transfer game gold.

Also... it says Donate to the creator. Many rooms are not made by the host. So i think this is wrong.
Then it should be Donate to the host.

All world visitors will see a button that allows donating to the creator of the world:

Exactly what rule says: No begging/no requesting. It doesn't prohibit you from buying gold for someone on your own initiative. 

It's not for me.

Yeap. See you in a couple of days.

The Russians are not afraid of the coronovirus because the Russians are not afraid of the flu and are not afraid of the cold! I live in Siberia! We have a temperature of -45 in winter! Russians swim in the rivers in winter)  

 

Then again, a very cold region of Siberia has been having an insane surge of heat lately.

You can forget any sort of height modifiers, as those would force them to completely rework all animations(poses). There's a good reason why everyone's the same height, it's convenient for them.
