Scylla Rhiadra Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 And they've been disappearing too! The mods are evidently keeping an eye out for multiple postings by socks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Maybe they came over from Meta and discovered SL and enjoying having their toon with a good pair of legs! With good socks. Edited August 1, 2022 by Kimmi Zehetbauer Forgot to darn my socks. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I swear none of them are me. I assumed we just had a lot of new people, because people said so, I haven't really even seen any. If there's some kind of puppet thing happening, I super-swear it isn't me. I grew out of that stuff before 2010, even. Now if anyone starts posting selfies wearing the same outfits as me, I will be mad. Nobody steals my clothes and gets away with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have a mental image of something from back in the day on the internet, with a new caption along the lines of, "hey guy, lend me a hand? Both mine are occupied." *shudder* Edited August 1, 2022 by PheebyKatz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one asking where they could find "Southern Plantation" roleplay. No previous posts? Nah, that doesn't look suspicious at all. 🙄 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Dang, I was going to go in there and ask if they wanted to come play Call of Cthulhu instead. Also, they need to add an eww-face emote to the likes buttons. Instead, I shall thank you for the information.

Kathlen Onyx Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I didn't realize that there was a prerequisite for posting in the forum. Isn't everyone allowed to post without having them specifically called out, in a thread no less? 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the instance I am speaking of, the mods themselves removed the posts, suggesting that they knew they were from the same account and posting merely to "backup" the OP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tolerant when I thought they were just someone looking for a roleplay sim, but their later posts lead me to believe they picked a sensitive topic just to try to rile up the forum.

I'm not immune to trolling and to be fair almost every chance I get I admit that I'm dumb. But y'know it makes sense now that you lay it out like that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I like how it was dealt with before I even noticed anything was happening. Even if not everyone agrees with them, we do have a good team here. And good users. We actually have a pretty groovy community, and I like being able to say it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being very careful. And mindful too of Dyna's comment that we are all (including the mods) feeling our way through these new rules.

Specifically about the Lelutka Nuri head. I guess I didn't see that one. The thread in question is still problematic, and there have been other questionable "newbie" posters lately.

On an amateur radio board I help mod on --- One of the head admins go "clean up on aisle 4" when bad posts/threads appear. I think I have a picture frame in my inventory that shows gingerbread men, one with a leg bitten off!

Do forums bans STILL come with full SL account bans ? .. because they used to. I think this has generally been at the discretion of LL and the mods. I was not suspended from in-world during either of my suspensions here -- although those were each only for one day, so maybe that's the difference? But, yeah. It's an issue. It's why Desmond Shang stopped posting here, back in the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if someone gets banned it's of their own doing. The mods are smart enough to see such ploys, don't you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
