Nor am I going to call you a control freak, because I agree -- you are not one. But I am a little curious as to why you would AR threads merely, by your own telling, because you were "sick and tired" of them. You do realize that some people, probably a lot of people, actually did put work and effort and thought into their contributions? Looked up news sources or online resources, or spent a fair amount of time crafting posts? There was some nonsense, of course, but not more, I think, than I see in most longer threads. If they were annoying you, why not just . . . not read them? Really. I had a well crafted post that got unceremoniously zapped. There was absolutely nothing I saw in my thread that required nuking. And BTW I had not posted in months, since the first MAGAts started posting/coming out. (Until then we had lobbied for and got NO political discussion in the forum.) But my thread got pulled because it was asking LL if they intended to join other companies taking a stand. (BTW Today several huge companies stopped selling My Pillow.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a year ago or so, at least one, or maybe two, of my posts were modified with [redactions] added, rather than simply removed. It was done transparently -- it wasn't a sneaky "stealth" revision -- and I was actually grateful, because it meant that the post itself, or the substantive and important portions of it, remained. It must, however, be time-consuming. It's no wonder that we don't see it happen often. And, unless it is done transparently, it's potentially problematic, of course.

As I said in the thread itself, I disagreed, mostly, with what you were advocating, but I agree it was well-thought out, and clearly expressed. I am still not sure why it, in particular, was removed -- maybe, as you are implying, LL doesn't like getting its hand slapped, or is embarrassed by the issue (because, let's face it, there are many highly contentious and objectionable groups in SL, including quite openly fascistic and supremacist ones). But I'm sorry for it, because the clarity of your OP encouraged, I thought, reasonably calm and rational responses. And, it's also just nice to see you back here again.

Personally I'd prefer edits being done on most as opposed to out and out removal/deletion of a post. Especially since the latter is accompanied by a message saying it was removed and no copy whatsoever of the post made/given to facilitate edits for reposting. More than once, I've just shrugged/thrown my hands in the air in exasperation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Huntsman Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Can stores stop morphing SL heads on DAZ renders and start just taking the damn photo in SL? The Morph looks like utter crap, and well it is really off putting to see an SL head on a DAZ body. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienaisha Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 People who are edgy and put something about "no drama" in their profile because they are always the ones who have LOADS of drama. Like at this point I'm convinced it's a kink , it's so bad. It's like they subconsciously love drama and having issues with people, all the time, and they either welcome it or fuel the fire. ... Like, I'm sorry this honestly peeves me more than it probably should. But seeing "no drama/anti drama" or anything else edgy that is insinuating that they are super no-conflict people is just a giant red flag to me now. I feel the people who have that, and are always ones starting the drama, lack the self awareness and don't realize that they are the problem.

If a person continually finds themselves in the middle of drama, regardless of who or where it is, yep, chances are they're the one causing it or at least, nudging it along.

I prefer to buy them a little firm and I keep them out in the kitchen for a couple days , until I get just a bit of softness on touch, then they go in the fridge. You can also put them near bananas and they will ripen a bit quicker due to the bananas putting out ethylene. It sounds crazy but it actually works!
