Probably Inara Pey. I know I saw the notice and Inara's is about the only blog I visit, or at least the one I visit most often. I get her article notices on my Feed.

 

(Edit) Yep. I saw it here:

http://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/lab-updates-bot-policy/

. And it looks like you were right, Innula: it does say Jan 30 2014.

And I notice that Inara says at the bottom of her post "With thanks to Mona Eberhardt."  So did Mona stumble on this and tell Inara?

Regardless, it illustrates what I mean by "Dismal Communications."

Policy changes should be announced on the SL Blog.  Even if it's only a weekly recap.

No excuses, no exceptions.

No argument there. And even better would be the ability to comment with questions and actually see the questions answered.

No doubt it would inspire some flaming, but a one-purpose blog shouldn't be at all hard to moderate directly and weed out most of that stuff.

Remember the Red Zone debate in the JIRA's? 

Some things could still turn into a huge mess.

Yes, I do. But that was not the norm and even that was self-moderating after a while: you just learned whose posts to skip. A blog with weekly posts should be pretty easy to moderate for real.

I used to keep an eye on jira updates, but never really set it up again after Google Reader was pulled.   That may have been where Mona saw it originally.

I am glat to see this news!  I was a victim of a land bot when I was kind of new.  Tried to sell a friend land for a dollar and a land bot sucked it up.  I even wrote a song about it!  Got away cheap compared to others I have heard about.  I was able to buy my land back a few days later for 700 lindens.

You probably haven't noticed, since the change was made with very little publicity, but using LandBots to purchase mainland was banned at the end of January.  See

Linden Lab Official: Bot policy

.  

While that probably won't stop the practice, it at least gives people grounds to AR the culprits. 

 

ETA   The change seems, in fact,  to have taken place Mid December 2013.   My mistake.

Me too!  Now I keep an eye on lola updates. 

I know it's more SL immersive, but it's also more pleasing to the eye.

I dislike it when you write words of affection you don't really mean.

You underestimate Dres's capacity for affection.

And of course your own overwhelming attractiveness, which holds nearly all of us in its thrall. :-)

I have to agree that it's quite a feat to try to control yourself when faced with the overwhelming attractiveness of he who calls himself Storm.  My only consolidation is that Pep is smart enough to know that I regularly spell sweetie incorrectly on purpose.

Dear Ebbe, Welcome & Congrats

While as a long term resident i offer no business advice on how to restructure second life but would ask you to do a set of things, Please!

Opensim is a parasite that eats at the fabric of our lives here.

I am sure you are a smart man & i can see you are the guy who will bring the needed change.

if you can please try to cut viewer support to opensim & any licenses that you can withdrawal.

I could try to list the million things wrong opensim has done against us. but for the love of god i hope their is a way you can end this disease. that takes every new feature you give us and they get it too without cost then badmouth LL in the process while trying to lure your customers over their.

There is nothing to lose cutting support. they are a parasite that gives nothing back. Good intentions was the labs intent in making the viewer free to use. but years later the costs to our world have been enormous.

 

Good luck to you & you will be the one who makes things right.  We believe in you:matte-motes-big-grin:
