Pamela Galli Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I must be blind, I can't find a link in these forums to the Guidelines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) I can't remember, were the community standards and guidelines linked on the old forum pages? I see the ToS is still down there at the bottom, now on the far left. The standards are still here... https://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php And the guidelines are still here... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Community_Participation_Guidelines Edited March 31, 2017 by Madelaine McMasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 There was a link at the top of the forum that we referred people to. Now I don't see any link to the wiki page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela Galli Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Ironic that the forums homepage says: "General Discussion Forum Second Life discussions welcome here! Please follow the community guidelines." and then hides the guidelines. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela Galli Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I made a JIRA. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-41646 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macphisto Angelus Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks for that jira. I looked all over last night for the new forum guidelines. I figured I was going blind, senile and daff all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) I don't think there are new guidelines, but since the moderation here is so strict, everyone needs to know what the rules are*. They should be easy to check (and unambiguous). * For example I warned someone tonight that his name and shame post would get yanked if he didn't remove the name. He didn't and it was.

Innula Zenovka Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) The guidelines can be found in the Wiki at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Community_Participation_Guidelines but I agree it would be helpful to have an obvious link here, too. Why not suggest it in Forum Feedback, too? ETA: I find that Googling "Second Life " plus whatever I want to know about (e.g. Second Life Forum Guidelines) works far better than does the search feature here.

One thing that is new and different and that I applaud is we are seeing Tommy Linden active here. It no longer feels like shoot first and bury the bodies where no one can find them. But I am missing the side bar and all it's links that we had with Lithium. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Kristin Linden Posted March 31, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hello there! Thanks for bringing this up! I'll look into this further and see if we can get the Community Guidelines up in a more accessible spot. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking something is missing -- the sidebar. Kristen may we have a sidebar too? Edited March 31, 2017 by Pamela Galli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that the InvisionPower software architecture does not allow it. Just like I suspect that is the reason why this JIRA got closed. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-41539 I can see no other reason for that JIRA to be closed. Unless Gary Linden simply did not understand the request, which is also very possible. Edited March 31, 2017 by Perrie Juran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Tommy Linden Posted March 31, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2017 I am not sure what this sidebar is that you all are requesting? However in regards to the Guidelines, I hear what you all are saying, let me see what I can do about making it more visible. Give me a little time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great but best I could find. Note the additional links at the bottom. Also there were links for "most recent posts," "most recent threads," "most recent questions," etc. Was very convenient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Tommy Linden Posted March 31, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2017 @Perrie Juran thank you for that screenshot! I will take this feedback and share it. As usual, no promises on my part that it is possible, or that it will make a return, but I will get it passed along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Tommy Linden Posted March 31, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have posted the Participation Guidelines and Community Standards in their current form, you can locate them here: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase01 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'd also like to see if anything more will be done to police threads which are clear violation under community guidelines. There are numerous sub forums in here that are being cannibalized by those who aren't interested in community, rules, having open discussion etc. I am sure others may chime in with their own observations but look at the photography forum? Multiple violations of people just advertising publications and businesses. If I am a new user to this forum and go in there, it would be my perception that it is OK to self advertise. If its not as guidelines suggest—why is it so? (see what I mean) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Tommy Linden Posted April 1, 2017 Administrators Share Posted April 1, 2017 We are listening to all the feedback and everything that we are receiving, changes and improvements are being made where appropriate. We might not get all that we ask for, but at the very least, we are listening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 @Tommy Linden In the Community Participation Guidelines, in the 'Report inappropriate content for a moderator review' section, a 'Report inappropriate Content' link is referred to, but that link was in the previous software. It's not in this one. In this software the link is 'Report post'. The wording in the guidelines could do with correcting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Faulds Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 We're also missing report this post button. Miss that so I can report spam and when a post is in the wrong place where they'll never get the answer they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) I don't understand, Bobbie. There's a 'Report post' link in every post. It's light grey until your cursor is over the post, when it becomes black. It's situated next to the 'Posted <date/time stuff>' statement in each post. If that's not what you mean, I don't understand what you mean. Edited April 1, 2017 by Phil Deakins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
