It’s probably best to leave politics out of that particular discussion. I’m fiscally (not socially) conservative and one of the most erotically freaky people I know. I know a lot of others like me too :-) IMO being tolerant in SL means not slamming entire groups of people based on appearances or taste. In the parts of the BDSM community, I inhabit we kinda codify that thinking as “Your Kink Is Not My Kink But Your Kink Is OK” Do your thing, as long as I’m not Forced to participate beyond my comfort zone; I’m fine :-) My personal validation is not required for other people to have fun, just as theirs is not required for me to do the same. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love and miss the London sims but the IMs.... and I got asked not to come back because I kept calling the f**ktards out in local caht or answering in local... I just ..HATE those IMs and random requests and tp to a point I wish they´d be banned from internet access until they finish a class that teaches them to read profiles. act decently and stuffs (but that´s wishful thinking in my evil twisted aholic brain ...). We were all new at one point but that´s NO excuse... I left Clubs that were nice just because there was a dude sending me a hi IM being almost 4000 days old..COME ON... that really NEEDS to die... Which is a shame cos I´m bored and lonely inworld and would like to socialize more... I´m not into SLex or BDSM or Fetish or have much time to RP so...what´s left... styling and the forum^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 @cykarushb, to be fair, some of those were just people trying to start a conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Fair Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The biggest disappointment to me was the loss of last names. It just hasn't been the same since they changed the system. I have even heard that some people have sold their old first name-last name avatars to other people! Second biggest disappointment: being unable to get more than about 70 people onto a sim, and having terrible lag when you do. It really hurts major events in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should at least pic a certain aspect of the looks or profile and compliment on that... Rule of thumb: if there´s ANY hint it´s copy/paste to every avatar or every female looking avatar ... nope not enough, not cool, better stay silent if they want to communicate SO badly - there´s local chat. IMs should be to take discussions from local on if the topic moved on or if you´re not in the same spot... Another huge disappointment for me is... 42 Groups limit. in 2013 there were discussions to raise that, I wonder why it´s not happening? Will the data files become too big? Any tech issue?

Most SL clients have options to restrict communication channels to those already on your friend list and all of them give you the option to mute/block accounts. This is on top of the tried and true method of simply ignoring messages from those you do not wish to communicate with. Yes the attempts to pick up people (no it is not just female avatars that are targeted) can get irksome, you have options. Use them.

Well they could specify WHAT they like about the profile^^ To show they actually read it... I´m super happy when someone IMs me like "hey I read this in your profile and I like that" and stuffs.... but maybe I´m too burnt and too anti when it comes to that Premium get sixty...

They were just the examples i had on hand. I know that some of them may not have had the intention of the others, but its a very common thing. If someone sends me a "hi", ill happily have a little conversation about whatever, ive got no problem talking to random people or helping out the newbies in SI. And that happens fairly often. But i do get a lot of these messages that are just kind of obscene and not called for in both a general sim or something you would just say to anyone anyway. You dont just walk up to someone and go "hey, wanna go bang? meet me at XYZ", like no mate, go away. The point was that the random IM's are still coming even with a furry avatar, theres very little social discrimination in SL from most people, i rarely see it. These people dont care what weird crap i do, even if their goal is virtual casual hookups, they arent picky or selective or discriminating. And part of me can admire that, but maybe if it was about something other than wanting to grope pixels, ya know? Semi related to the OP topic, another disappointment in SL was after i came back from like a 4 year break, at the time i wanted to play SL but my laptop wasnt up to the task. But at the time i played as an A-10 warthog and ran around going "brrrrrt". And it was a blast, and a load of people were doing this, and it wasnt even considered trolling or anything, it was just that some people liked to mess around with random avatars for fun. And after making my new account last year, i have almost never seen that again. What happened? Why arent people doing this kinda casual fun? Sometimes i see people with those dropkick anims or whatever, and sometimes funny macros, or the mlg 420 illuminati avatars, but not as much. Where did that kind of thing go in the last few years, just a bunch of noobs running around with whatever random avatar they found in a sandbox having a blast. I mean i know its there, somewhere, but it use to be everywhere. Also pet peeve, anyone who calls me and sabrina foxes. We aint foxes >:l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... seriously.... there´ve always been so many better skins and yet they were widely popular... I know I´m an ahole but I didn´t even talk to ppl wearing them xept they were asking me for advice to change skins The photo was taken a long time ago - I suspect defecation HUDs have even become more sophisticated since that time, as well as skins 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how many times I have seen that last name used. I'd be curious to learn about its genesis if there is a story to tell. Darkfire isn't a name that resonates in the same way with me. Spitteler, Avro, and Aero where the ones I used to see a load of. However, I had a dig around and found this: http://slnamewatch.com/?action=list_records&status_filter=all&sort_order=DESC&order_by=usage_count I found it interesting.
