Community Etiquette – Auction Hoppers!

Hey Everyone, Its Friyaaaaay!!!! and yes its Bazza here….. Josie entrusted me with posting a connection… isn’t that scary?, I think she’s nuts!

Ok so soapbox time with Bazza, I am going to start a series of connections on community issues. These will be things I think affect our community and what we can all do to make it better.

First up is auction hopping, As a few of you guys probably know I run a market and this is probably the most notable issue I’ve seen and I would also say it’s an increasing issue as more people are starting to do it.

 

Everyone is free to do as they please in Second Life; that is the beauty of the game, but sometimes reflection wouldn’t be such a bad thing on how each other’s actions affect everyone else or more so our very own market.

Supporting each other as breeders, buyers and sellers is the key to a stronger market.

It is no fun for anyone at the end of a waiting list or classic auction that has waited 1-2 hours and they put out their horse/k9/barnyard bird or ponie onto the panel to be auctioned off in front of 5 other breeders when the auction started with 35 people. If people are sitting through your panel then you should return the favor to your fellow breeders. You never know when someone is going to rez out something you may want!

If there are 2 auctions going on at the same time then commit to 1 auction, don’t join both waiting lists or grab a panel at each auction and hop between the 2, this is only hurting yourself, the auction houses that you visit and also the market!

So let’s build a better, greater and fairer community together.

That’s it from me this week, have an awesome weekend and see you all in the groups.
