Class 7 -- Continued OtherWorlds - Builder's Area failures

I could not get into Builder's area :

Class 7 Optical Illusions

This is a pretty cool set of illusions.  I'm pretty sure this same concept is the basis behind "interlaced" video.    Every frame of interlaced video is comprised of 2 frames in reality, effectively doubling the framerate of NTSC video from 30 to 60 FPS.

h) LAND: Terraforming [WARNING: ONLY DO THIS ON THE MOON AREA IN ROCKET WORLD!! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TERRAFORM ANY WHERE ELSE OTHER THAN ON THE MOON, WHICH YOU WILL SEE DOES NOT LOOK AT ALL LIKE THE MOON] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR5tZN4BVSw&feature=related [ONLY ON THE MOON!]

So I watched the video on terra forming and was really excited to try it out.

So here I am on the moon and I've got my terrain menu open and I'm trying to flatten the land

That doesn't work.  In fact I couldn't get any terra forming to work, no raising, lowering, roughening, etc.

Then I checked the moon's properties and discovered that people other than the owner of the land cannot edit the terrain:

I can only assumed that since this is the case, had I the permission to do so, I would have been able to edit the terrain in many of the ways that were indicated in the second life tutorial.  All in all, I'm disappointed I couldn't play God here.
