Question about forum signatures

Thanks.  I'd have thought that the general probition on political advertising in-world would also apply to advertising for an RL candidate at your RP Campaign Headquarters, but it's not up to me.  

I've made Governance aware of this thread and the questions it raises, and doubtless we'll have a response soon enough.

Maybe as long as it's not for a real world candidate?  Quartz Mole for President would be a good RP.

Oh, you meant roleplay politics!

(I see that a lot, confusion between roleplay and real world matters in SL.)

Actually, the campaign headquarters is RP,  but my support for the (RL) candidate is real.

But you could drop by and get a poster and a lawn sign.

I'd love to see them all over Bellissaria

We all know who it's for, but I won't mention his name 😁

Are RL political ads allowed in a forum signature?

No politics on the forum. That would include ads in sigs.

The ban was specifically for using ad parcels to support RL candidates. Promoting a candidate at your own home was and is still permitted, as far as I know.

Thank you for your feedback.

You are probably right.

You will, I fear, be disappointed:   from the Bellisseria Covenant

 *Activities and/or displaying items that could be construed by Linden Lab as political campaigning is not permitted in Bellisseria.

Another reason for me to not like Bellisseria 😂

Heck, since it's Belli, you can't even sell commemorative orange jumpsuits!

Recommend to Governance that LL charge L$150 per week for a signature.

A quick trip inworld (for those of you that still do such a thing) to take a shufti at the profile of Billy Bob there would have been enough of an answer. But of course pixels need to be exchanged. Or something.

[Garnet Psaltery]

If this topic is not really about forum signatures but about advertising rp then I might as well remove my temporary signature, and go back to not seeing any.

Yes, but you then referred to inworld political activity and your support for a RL candidate, which appears to be the motivating factor in your topic.  I'm going to back out now as it's feeling rather too muddy for me.

the motivating factor was can i show support for a real world candidate in my signature. If no, can i direct people to an inworld campaign headquarters.

We are waiting for Mr Mole to get back to us on both options after consulting with governance. If the answers are no and no, i won’t do it, because i always play by the rules 😁

[Love Zhaoying]

I'm getting close to following the logic!

A Forum signature

For in-world advertising 

Of a RolePlay campaign

Of a Real-Life candidate

"Look over there!" * points *
"What?" * looks *
* runs away *

Inworld advertising (show in search) is a lot cheaper than that and way more effective than a signature, that most people have turned off anyhow.
When I have to pay for the signature, that option of turning it off should be gone as well.

I swear you had one, and now it's gone! (I had to check and make sure I still have it turned on.)

I can see Sid's signature.  It''s an advert for his shop.

The difference from before is, I'm on the mobile site now (on my phone). I learned that signatures seem to not work from Mobie / phone (Chrome)!

Only for basic membership. Premium members should retain the ability to turn off signatures.

Premium members are my target group. They are the ones who live in Bellisseria.
Then I would not pay for a signature.

How about we just leave things as they are, nobody is unhappy about the status quo.

Which raises the question, under what category would you abuse report this?
