Your cringe worthy forum conduct is why sl has a bad rep if you want to take this anywhere near that rout *eye rolles*

So, you necro a thread from over a year ago and then have the testicular fortitude to say someone else has cringe worthy forum conduct?!?!?

don't you just hate it when you submit a rough draft and trolls just make rude comments like that to just make you look illiterate when you know what the ***** your talking about?

A rough draft... on a forum... This isn't 9th grade english class sweetcheeks. You post your final copy or it gets shredded. Seeing as you are the authority on forum etiquette you should know that.

For your transgressions.. Double necro.

Ok wait wait, why isn't anyone talking about the Bragg vs. LL case? Seriously, that's why LL is barely even still existing! The truth is if you're a US citizen, Linden Labs can be taken to court for just about anything and be tried under US law cause their based in California and they just pulled net neutrality, that means unless you have a signature in writing, their user agreement no longer applies nor is protected by law, in other words if you sue them for anything or blow the whistle, you will win every time cause the ***** they practice is illegal as ***** and they know it! According to national and international treasury laws any crypto currency not registered by the UN is banned from use on the internet even if its an in game currency like lindens.
$L are not cryptocurrency... Outside of SL they have no value. None. Zero. You can't buy anything with them. (see more detail below)
This is why companies like EA can get in trouble for selling in game content on the sims if they use real currency to fund in game currency like GTA. Consumer protection Activists would have a field day with LL. Also cause they prevent you from downloading copies of your objects and avatars as well as your region, they can be tried and penalized for not allowing you to have a personal copy of it on your PC for personal use under intellectual property laws.
You are blowing a lot of smoke here.. 
My ex worked at a business firm and worked for big name companies, giving them business permits and is the one who informed me of every infraction LL is making cause his job is to know commercial and consumer protections and cooperate codes for getting business transactions permitted by us law. In other words Linden Lab Is involved is a virtual reality pump and dump scandal. The act of renting out unlicensed digital items you can't personally own is known as Virtual Money Laundering and Intellectual Content Theft. they can be arrested for this if they do not give the creator the rights to their content.

cryptocurrency is a system that meets six conditions:

The system does not require a central authority, its state is maintained through distributed consensus. SL has a central authority, Linden lab.

The system keeps an overview of cryptocurrency units and their ownership. LL does this, not the system.

The system defines whether new cryptocurrency units can be created. If new cryptocurrency units can be created, the system defines the circumstances of their origin and how to determine the ownership of these new units. Again, LL does this.

Ownership of cryptocurrency units can be proved exclusively cryptographically. You only "own" the $L in your account. And technically, LL owns them.

The system allows transactions to be performed in which ownership of the cryptographic units is changed. A transaction statement can only be issued by an entity proving the current ownership of these units. 

If two different instructions for changing the ownership of the same cryptographic units are simultaneously entered, the system performs at most one of them.

As to the rest of your insane accusations, I implore you to take LL to court. Please let us know how that went..

Thanks, Drake! I hope you don’t get reported for disagreeing with them.

Don't underestimate their chances - after all, Linden Lab's lawyers will be busy suing themselves:

I think SL's bad reputation is due to know-nothing necroposters.  Don't you agree?

Ok, done! I forgot how long it is. Now, I remember that I had an illustrated (comic style) book that followed the lyrics.

before calling it bad and talking about it ,we have to  agree on what bad is and then discuss it , but in general , second life is just a virtual world , mainly an extension of the internet that is defined by its users  who turned in to consumers of trash and supporters of filth and trolls and people  with no  aim in life 


second life WAS a platform for creators who no one gave  dam about due to the sad fact that every one only cared for adult entertainment , which made all creators invest in to it just to survive , and the army of people who use subjective stupidity rather then objective arguments when ever attacking some one they disagree with in the form of mobs 

but dont fear , those people quit quickly , we just have to deal with generations of them  in patches , this one is about to die out  ,thanks to the advancement in graphics and tech imported to second life by linden labs not anyone can just create stupidity easily , so real creators are coming back , now its up to us to  support them this time , in second life there is no likes or watch time , there is only money like in the real world , you want to support some one , donate and buy what they make , or they will not waste time and effort and will quit , its that simple , there is no adds for them here after all , second life was intended to be manged by its community of users , which sadly play the ( out of sight out of mind )  game , the ( just block them ) game which does not fix the problem when ever they face annoying people , who spam , break rules , trick gullible or new users who are overwhelmed by second life's complexity, and so on , so many come to second life not even knowing what it is, or how deep it is , sadly because there is clear tutorial for it , and people dont read about it before coming in to it ,some of those annoying figures stalk and hunt starting areas , to jump on the  NOOBS and disrupt them and give them that bad idea about it or even push them to think that the '' game '' is broken or '' bugged '' by rezzing random objects or lagging them to  death and so on , if more of us actually put more effort  to care and give a dam about SL  it can quickly be cleaned , just report law breakers and misconduct , but the moment you point out that people are not helping they are quick to call you a troll , like HOW DARE I tell them what to do , when in reality , its just a strawman argument made by  them to silence whoever is NOT doing what they are doing 

like every where on the internet , second life is a reflection of its community 
if we are here only to  play with adult games , use fake information to get a thrill , support such garbage ''content'' and consume it, and not do anything about our growing population of pointless people who are only on second life to ruin it for the rest of us because its '' funny '' , second life will be seen as '' BAD '' , simple as that
