RoamingReproof Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I would like to add to the gaiety of nations by making supercilious observations on the poor standard of other contributions to these forums (sic).Have I come to the right place?I have no interest whatsoever in imparting any useful information to fellow users of SecondLife; I just want to be cynical and droll.Should I keep posting in the General Discussion Forum?Or, if that loses its pall, might I post in the other more soi-disant technical forums? The benighted folks there would likely welcome the apercus of someone of my intellectual calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 In other words you want to be a troll. You don't have much intellectual prowess if all you want to do is cause trouble. We can't stop you from posting replies to any post. But be warned that if you do what you say, you will soon be banned from the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoamingReproof Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 " But be warned that if you do what you say, you will soon be banned from the forum." So, how does that work, exactly? Do I get banned by a Moderator; or is there a committee of the "great and good"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A former commentator with pretensions similar to yours has allowed his blog to go fallow for almost a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Post here! I enjoy observations and they belong right here in the General Discussions Forum. Answers, of course, belong in that other forum. Welcome RR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gives everyone a chance to take a pop at their preferred nemesis before the mods turn up on Monday and decide that the thread has got too long to interfere. Although occasionally a Linden on weekend punishment duty (maybe they voted against SL V2) gets annoyed and deletes threads and posts without justification or explanation, as the Community Standards allow him (or more likely, her) to.

ZoeTick Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 RoamingReproof wrote: Should I keep posting in the General Discussion Forum? Yes, but remember that LL in their infinite lack of wisdom created three GDs in the forums, the other two being situated in the Adult and Land sections. So if you want to talk dirty you know where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burper Tilling Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 We find ourselves hurtling towards a scenario with alarming rapidity in which it would be desirable for the Linden Laboratory to create a forum especially for use by trolls and flamethrowers and other individuals with nothing worthwhile to contribute.

Define nothing? Point well taken. I believe there are now only two humans responsible for the majority of posts in this forum, and they both amuse themselves by enlisting an army of alts to delude the other into thinking there are multiple posters paying attention to their posts. The question is whether perpetrating such mutual delusion is a contribution, or the very opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are only actually 17 people in SL each operating all the concurrent inworld Avs. Thats why it takes so long to get an answer from anybody when you IM them.
