LL has sucked all the fun out of it.

What is more interesting is when somebody says something that is plain unvarnished truth, like "A car won't run without an engine", and people complain that "cars are not just about engines", as if that actually MEANT something important, or in anyway negated the original statement that "a car won't run without an engine".

It's almost like many on the forum are obsessed with finding fault in others isn't it.  I can only assume that by doing so they temporarily feel they are the 'good person without fault'.

I find it interesting how the statement that Governance would prefer to educate people about the new TOS rules rather than ban them outright has now become "detention and re-education camps" in your mind. 🤔

Isn't claiming that education is bad, one of the hallmarks of conservatism?

Apparently, the complaint is that we can no longer enjoy the "fun" of dressing up as "Just 15 barely illegal pole-dancing tip-jar hookers" and going cruising for "generous daddies" at venues such as "teen skanks for old incels", without fear that LL's Secret Police will perve our IM's and send us to detention camps to be "re-educated" to NOT use the "f**k f**k no" conspiracy bunker web bowser, by EVIL "leftist SJW enemies of FreeDumb!".

 

Allegedly.

Yep! Apparently, only edgy and "forbidden" things are "fun". How dare they prevent people from doing things that are "forbidden"? That's no "fun"!

Yes! Obsession with fault-finding is bad! I mean, it's only bad when OTHER people do it!

False. 

Hope you're right Love but too much evidence for it being exactly that.

Use the term that feels right for you then. 

Re-education camps would be a good thing because at least it gives the community/residents a good indication of where they are drawing the line, something I don't feel the Lindens have done yet publicly.

Personally I think it would be good to see some actual evidence of then doing that rather then just using the ban hammer. Like Coffee said in another thread, they really need to do away with the whole banning thing unless there have been multiple warnings with increasing ban times like they do with the forum.

Electric cars don't have engines, they have motors.

Everything you say is true, but as I have pointed out already, AP purely in ims using two adult avatars will be caught and punished with bans by the new AI chat monitor.

And yes, I'm gonna promote it as true, but that's a good thing isn't it? If enough people believe AI chat monitoring already exists and change their behavour accordingly, LL will never actually have to impliment AI chat monitoring, and will save them selves some Money.

Sorry, sex drives the SL economy, without it SL WILL fail

They could send miscreants to special re education sims, and they can't tp out until their  minds are reprogrammed

So, in your own words, people would be banned for doing something they were told they'd be banned for.

Heaven forfend...

If you had a point, it would be that they were accused of doing it when they weren't. But that's not what you said.

As usual with Amateur Shopping Mall Psychology, your assumption is wrong.

It's because many people around here like to spam Positivity Cultist Drivel of Utter Worthlessness.

So, your electric toothbrush has an engine? Of course this is a quibble, but you were holding up "a car won't run without an engine" as an indisputable fact. Sloppy, especially coming from someone living in a place where they drive on "motorways."

OTHER games (such as Minecraft) automatically ban people just for cursing.

There is no reason or evidence to suggest LL will ban people without a review by humans. You keep stating there will be, as if it is an established fact.

Not sure if you're misrepresenting facts, or stirring the pot.

If you had broken the habit of a lifetime and ACTUALLY read a linked page, you'd have seen this further down the page..

 

"motor, v. intransitive. Chiefly with adverb or prepositional phrase. To travel or drive in a motor vehicle."

 

Also, re you attempts to teach English to people from the county that holds IP Rights on that language, have you leaned to spell "colour" and "aluminium" correctly yet?

Asking for a friend.

One way or the other, we'll either "motor through" or "engineer around" this mess!

Should ask that friend to use a spellchecker on the question they want you to ask since they misspelled 3 words in that one sentence aside from the word "colour" and the weird way of spelling "aluminum"
