Marigold Devin Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Just now, Rowan Amore said: Yep, public displays of affection. Holding hands, yes. His hand in your lap under the blanket, no. They're both in wheelchairs so it's not going to be much of a problem but sheesh! He's probably 30 yrs younger than she is! My mother, the cougar. God love her. Oooooh crikey, no, you don't want to be having that talk. But if your Mom is of full mental capacity and still has certain needs and desires, R-O-A-R I know my mother would have, if she'd got the chance. But who is this chap, 30 years her junior? I hope he is nice and they just enjoy each other's company, whatever that might entail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Scylla Rhiadra said: Moderation is always going to cause complaints, sometimes justified and sometimes not. I managed to get through some of the worst times on this forum without so much as a wrist slapping, but I've got a three day suspension under my belt now, issued within the last 8 months or so. I thought, and still think, it was undeserved -- but it was also an anomaly, because it happened during a brief time when the Lindens were, unusually, intervening again directly here in an effort to control a wildfire around the subject of bots. They badly overreacted, and used a bludgeon where a more intelligent and nuanced approach would have worked better. As I've noted before, the suspensions that were being handed out by the fistful at that time were not issued by our regular mods here, whom I am absolutely confident would have handled this a lot better than the bulls-in-the-china-shop from LL who stepped in. Peeve: The last Motown party, I was a bit peeved that there was no sound stream. All I said was "No music stream, no real party". There must have been a Linden around with a bad hair day. Maybe the one that is responsible for the "unique" music hud over there. Now I'm banned from the whole welcome area. They should keep some people away from the customer part at the Lab IMHO. Good and creative coders ain't good in every other field automatically. Some are, others not so much, I guess. Just like in every other company. Ah well..... It is what it is. I ain't gonna beg for a ban lift, that is for sure. I don't attend parties very often to begin with. Maybe 3 a year, so I'll live.

I do remember Void. Although I thank @Scylla Rhiadra for filling in the particulars. Because you flagged my post the way you did, how you did, with the reference (although as Scylla mentioned, probably not on point due to different circumstance), I'm going to assume you understood, or soon will understand, why I find it ironic. That anyone could think it was bragging is... amusing.

However from their profile, I'm guessing the "open letter" demand was that LL should make everything free, because "FREE THE WEB" anti commercialism. You know, the free-warez all data must be public, all source materials must be shared crowd. Any one telling a company that they must make their product 100% free because tech-hippy-neo-communism, was "cruising for a bruising" as the saying goes.

Although, as you say, you're not missing much of a party there, I think. I DO agree that there are (/me looks for diplomatic language) people employed by this platform who should not be allowed to carry firearms because they're trigger happy. And others who just shouldn't be allowed within shouting distance of residents, either because they are just not good "people people" or don't use the platform much and so don't understand the culture. I also think that the appeal process here sucks. I know of a few instances in which bans or suspensions have been overturned, but I think far more often appeals are just rubber stamps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysistrata Szapira Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Peeve: A certain event that rhymes with The Parade. I remember when everyone was hyped up to go see what the top creators were going to surprise us with every round. I remember when those top creators started drifting away from the event. I remember when the new style arrived, and it was still kind of cool, and we didn't have to pay 100L per pull for mediocre items. I looked at the September round's offerings, and just went, "Meh." BTDT. There are a handful of cute sets, but I'm not going to waste my time with it. I miss that old excitement.

Sid Nagy Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I searched a lot on the marketplace today. Big peeve: SL is becoming really expensive. A lot of stuff is more than the inflation rates increased in price. Some creators and merchants seem to forget that SL is not RL. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three years I kept away from that virus then as soon as governments declare it's 'over' and everyone discovers not caring is far easier I get it. I know exactly where and when I got it too, the person told me they were feeling bad but didn't isolate themselves. I was so angry and it's not just like flu either. Still feeling some effects even now, the long post-viral fatigue has been awful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromFranzic Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Is there a web site for some of these shenanigans in detail, some blog maybe?

At one point, some forumites (they were anonymous, but I'm pretty sure I know who they were) created a blog modeled after a grocery store scandal rag. It was occasionally amusing, but mostly pretty abusive, with particular forumites targeted. They weren't especially unkind to me, but they DID post a fair bit about my personal life in SL, and my relationship with my then-bf (who was also a forum poster, and whom they hated). I didn't much appreciate that aspect of it. I think it's still out there somewhere in the ether. And no, I'm not going to link to it.

Garnet Psaltery Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 1 hour ago, Marigold Devin said: It's the equivalent of the Smartie top chart that we had in our primary school. The more of each colour each child brought in, the higher up their score went (but it just meant they had eaten too many Smarties really). I see it as a bit of fun, but Seicher is right, it's quite ironic in a way. As far as Void Singer is concerned, I saw their point too. There are so many fantastic contributors who actually help so many people away from the General Discussions threads, yet they don't really get the credit they deserve, apart from perhaps that tiny bit of satisfaction someone panning for gold gets. It just really means a person was the flavour for that day, or used a lot of alts to boost their score. It's just a bit of fun really.

(If anyone knows others, bung 'em here): https://community.secondlife.com/online https://community.secondlife.com/discover https://community.secondlife.com/ignore Thank you. This is all new to me, as far as I remember. There's such a lot of detail, and I can't think who would regularly use it apart from very nosey people with a lot of time. I'm a bit nosey - perhaps I could call it being intelligently curious - but I haven't got the energy or determination to visit these places except as a fun diversion on rare occasions.
