Ims

[Johndalla Vella]

I recently posted a question about privacy issues to do with people passing private ims around.. The answer was very helpful.. and I thought nothing more of it.. I was imed and told by someone that if they place this in their picks.."

It is against TOS of SL to share information and/or chat logs with others in IM's and notecards, unless a disclaimer is in profile.

Here is said disclaimer.  If needed I will share information with others if I feel it is necessary.

****************************************

that is gives them a way around the legality of it all. I am sorry I trusted someone long ago so much.. that has changed now, unfirtunatly..and I tried to put a ticket in.. but could not find the heading to cover this issue.. I feel that if this disclaimer allows people like this to do what they want.. then we have lost so much..words can be cut/pasted and twisted around (that has not been done to me yet) if this dislaimer is actually true..and many are saying it is.even with number 4 of the big 6 being in place.

Despite what some people may think, having a "disclaimer" in their profile does not relieve them from having to follow the TOS.

You can't just say, "I choose not to follow this part of the TOS."  When you register in SL, you accept the entire TOS.  A disclaimer is worth absolutely nothing and, in fact, can result in a violation that can get the person ejected from SL if they actually do share private IMs.

If course they do not have to cut and paste..they can just make things up whole cloth so your IMs are nothing special in that sense.
