<p>We hear over and over about the evil of networked advertising on mainland, about how it is the bane of mainlanders existence, about how it should be eliminated now and forever.</p><p>But how?</p><p>We hear that networked advertising is mainly a phenomenon of micro parcels, since what else can you do with 5 prims except stick a sign on it?</p><p>Its been suggested that parcels not be allowed to be cut smaller than a certain size, but that would cause a lot of unintended consequences.</p><p>Similarly, banning the sale of micro parcels would cause also undesirable consequences.</p><p>A forum resident suggested charging each micro parcel  the equivalent of a 512 sq m tier, which is both unworkable and unfair.</p><p>My suggesting is simple, clear and fair.</p><p>I propose that Linden Labs make a new rule banning construction on any parcel under  64 sq m</p><p>Parcels under that size would only be allowed to have natural elements rezzed on them such as trees, flowers, and rocks.</p><p>As soon as this rule change is implemented, all those 16 sq m networked advertising holdings would be rendered worthless, either for use or for sale at inflated prices.</p><p>Networked advertisers could divest themselves of their holdings by offering them for sale at reasonable prices to neighboring land owners, or just abandoning them</p><p>Lets face it, no one will pay hundreds of $Ls for a 16 sq m parcel just to put a rock or shrub on.</p><p>Under this new rule, networked advertising won't be eliminated since it would still be legal, but I think it will certainly be greatly reduced.</p><p>Implement this suggestion, and take a giant step to beautifying the mainland by largely eliminating the "scourge" of networked advertising once and for all.</p><p>Note to LL, if you do implement this rule, please publish it. Don't just sneakily change the TOS and say gotcha.</p>
