Art & Architecture
What an exciting project. Looking forward to seeing it progress!
What a wonderful Opening to celebrate your new location. Thanks for the fun & Congratulations!!
Good luck with your project!!
One of the reasons I came to SL was to explore historical art & architecture and recreatingit is a wonderful way to learn and appreciate these great works.
I'm looking forward to seeing more 
Here's another viewpoint to consider.
One of the reasons that I came to SL was to further explore historical art & architecture. I had already done that for years in TheSims2 and SL offered a richer environment for this pursuit. Within my first month (I probably still looked a lot like "Ruth" - lol) I was targeted by bullies who wanted to control what I could or could not do within the historical community. My initial reaction ofshock & anger was brief. Let's face it, there are bullies everywhere, SL is no exception, and there are effective methods to deal with these kinds of people.
Having had this experience, I have a lot of sympathy for people just starting out in the community.
Let's be practical, if you have agroup that reflects a RL historical situation you are probably not going to be the only one. As I have said before, I could care less if there are multiplegroups based on the same geographic location and timeframe. What I do care about, however, is the integrity ofagroup and its leaders. As far as I am concerned, anygroup that is honest, ethical and fair is a welcome addition that helps to strengthen us as a whole.

I've heard of LL acting quickly on an Abuse Report but it depends on the situation. Griefing tends to get a quicker response, for example.
For matters concerning business deals gone wrong (scams etc.) my understanding is that they may compile a case file andit takes a number of ARs from different sources before they act.
Once they decide to do something, LL can be quite successful at banning all the ALTs of an individual.
Speaking of common sense, one of the best things you can do to protect yourself is to educate yourself.
Here's a link that Skyehad shared with me manyyearsago. It has some great information that applies to many situations encountered not only in SL but in RL too Cyberbulling on the Internet
Thanks to everyone that participated in this!
I can just smell all that fresh bread baking throughout the land
