What we *want* is that losses never happen.<BR/><BR/>But confusing what we want for what we expect is why Linden Labs is acting like this. They *expect* there to be no losses, therefore they don't have a good process for resolving them. They should *expect* losses and provide for them not just hope that they don't happen.<BR/><BR/>When designing systems, always expect losses - that is the reason the space shuttle has five redundant computer systems. The designers expected problems. Linden Labs should expect problems and be ready with a great way to solve them.<BR/><BR/>They should *not* be sticking their head in the sand saying "acceptable losses" or "this really isn't happening, it's a fluke, our system is *perfect*."Tiessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03457953872797884709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256538458408907456.post-9280238948947518032008-02-22T06:18:00.000-08:002008-02-22T06:18:00.000-08:00Hmmm.

But we must do realise that flaws and errors may happen, so if taken care with the customer support and stuff, we could forgive them. <BR/><BR/>Sadly enough, atm, there are losses, and no customer support concerning that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256538458408907456.post-13282727463142090922008-02-21T15:57:00.000-08:002008-02-21T15:57:00.000-08:00I agree with you that LL should have the ability t...I agree with you that LL should have the ability to rollback, retrieve, or reimburse us for losses. I think my original point that we should expect losses is still true.<BR/><BR/>We should expect the incidence rate of the losses to reduce over time and we should expect the responsiveness to customer complaints and issues to increase.<BR/><BR/>I am annoyed that they cannot, or will not, handle issues like this at the moment. That has to be fixed.Tiessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03457953872797884709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256538458408907456.post-76144818672191079052008-02-21T10:48:00.000-08:002008-02-21T10:48:00.000-08:00No, not because we think they are plumbers, but be...No, not because we think they are plumbers, but because we trusted them. They used the word 'own' the whole time... own land, own virtual stuff, own a car, own a house...<BR/><BR/>Some of us pay them, some of us don't but the basic is that we trust them with our house, car, collar, land, AO notecard, ears, eyes and tail. <BR/><BR/>When I trust something to someone, but he clearly states that the object is still mine and that person looses it: I'm mad.<BR/><BR/>When you pay 50 cent somewhere to guard/keep safe your coat (even when that is obliged) those people are obliged to hand you back your coat. If it's damaged or lost, they need to replace or at least refund it's value. <BR/><BR/>Hosting services - LL says it's a hosting service now, not that we own anything any more - have often agreements that state that they are not liable for damages due to data loss and such? no? Yet, they have back ups. If I loose something - be it my our there error - they can most of the time - after a simple email from me - reinstate the database the the previous state (normally not even 12 hours old). We except the same from LL, and is that such a bad thing? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I would gladly pay LL the amount I pay my hosting service, as for that money, I can ask that my inventory can be 'rolled back'. That what was there 12 hours ago will be there again. *still searches for her throne*<BR/><BR/>Just my 0.02L$. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
