[sldev] [VWR] Simple fix for Sell Land mishaps?

There are SEVERAL prompts informing you of what you are about to do when you
set your land for sale. Already you cannot set land for sale at 0L$ to just
ANYONE, the interface does NOT allow that. You MUST designate a specific
avatar as the purchaser if you wish to sell the land for 0L$. If you do not
type in the name of the landbot, the landbot can't buy it, plain and simple.
The land may only be purchased by the avatar that you delegated as the
purchaser.

The system in place now is a revamp of a former system that DID place you in
peril without warning prompts.

At this time, in order to set land for sale, you are asked 2 times if you
AGREE to what is about to happen by YOUR OWN VOLITION before you can sell
your property.. First you are asked.. "Do you want to sell this parcel?"
Then you are asked if you want to sell it to just ANYONE for X amount of L$
or do you want to sell the land to a specific avatar for X amount of L$.
Once you have input the amount you wish to sell for, you are prompted with a
box that tells you that you are about to sell this land to "Avatar X" or to
"ANYONE" for X amount of Linden Dollars. Pressing OK is going to set this
parcel for sale and REMEMBER, you have been shown exactly what that will
happen once this button is pushed.

IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT YOU SHOULD TO SAY TO YOURSELF, "I have been asked
twice already what it is that I'd like to do. Did I make the right
decision?" If you have not made the right decision, hit that big old CANCEL
button and have another go.

Linden Lab has given landowners the ability to CHOOSE for themselves what to
do and warns them with a Great Big Prompt every step of the way.

How much more clarification, how many more prompts does a person need before
they get the picture?

Best,

Dirk
