Pussycat Catnap Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Meh. Ya'll want to be so negative with this SLUM term and accusations of gaming. I kinda like it. Posting FEED pics is fun and rather easy. Its a lot quicker than hitting flickr, and I finally figured out that it does make a high rez version of them which I was able to get to last night for the forum christmas party: https://my.secondlife.com/pussycat.catnap/snapshots/4eed61d6eec0f9377a000001 https://my.secondlife.com/pussycat.catnap/snapshots/4eed5cf9537fe71127000001 In -that- view if you click the image you see it at full-size. Now if only they'd let us link them into here, rather than have to re-upload. And frankly, the people who are at the top of the trending, half of them are the ones here complaining about this thing and all of the other negative posts they've been making since VOID drama-quit.

In looking at someone's feed, above the image: name.surname shared a snapshot. - Clicking snapshot would take you to the medium sized image, from which you can click to get the full-sized image.

Caitlin Tobias Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I use the trending tab mostly to see if there is a nice place to explore, which is often the case. My own 'trending' snapshots, feel free to check them. I have very few 'self-loved' ones and if I did: those were pics I particularly liked myself, on how they turned out (playing with shadows and windlight and such). It's nice if other people show their appreciation by pushing the 'love' button, but not needed. I use the feed because I can and because I like to share my adventures - same reason I have a blog. The negative and whining stuff, I skip. Easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canoro Philipp Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 im gonna bring this in order to have more perspectives over the possible uses and misuses of the trending feature of the feeds: griefing lets say someone have something against someone, she was cheated in a relationship, or has a business competitor, and decides to post something really negative (griefer style) about that person or company, has some alts to love the griefing a lot, and that post remains top trending unless some other post have more loves. advertising a company offers a promotion that anyone who gives love to a product post, get a discount over it. and the more people love it, the more it stays for everyone to see.

Mr Philipp, a point of order. I understand that it only requires two loves for a post to Trend, and that further loves make no difference to its sustained exhibition on the Trending feed, and it is when newer posts are loved that it gets pushed down the display. :matte-motes-grin: The Judge /insists on accurate forensic evidence.

Canoro Philipp Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 two loves for trending sounds unreasonable, the more loves a post have the more it should stay on top. ill change that: griefing a griefer want to give bad reputation to someone, posts something really negative repeatedly, love it two times with the help of just 1 alt, and have its profile posts for everyone to see. advertising someone post advertising to his/her store repeatedly and loves it two times so the advertising will always be there. the way it is right now thats the only possibilities that i see that it can be gamed for bad purposes or be used for advertising, i see nothing wrong in the advertising part tho, anyone can post anything they want in their feed.

It's responsible for tearing apart friendships and fracturing our little community here... a community that I care about a lot. I saw your OP as a not-so-thinly veiled attempt to stir up drama once again... it's like poking a hornets nest with a stick. It does no good for anyone and, in the end, they are no winners... just destruction. It has also occurred to me that my reply to you came off as if I was singling you out... and perhaps, in my moment of anger, that's just what I did... for that I apologize. It's the entirety of the situation, that has me so frustrated and disillusioned... not any single thing anyone has done. It's the culmination of the actions of all parties concerned and my inability to do anything about it that hurts me the most.

The griefing is going to happen regardless of how many "loves" it requires, because humans are involved and frankly not all humans can behave themselves like adults. I still don't see what's wrong with the advertising or how it's considered "gaming". Using the feeds as a promotional tool doesn't exactly seem like a bad thing to me. Perhaps it's because I see people using all sorts of avenues given to them by LL for promoting their products/services and rarely do we see anyone complaining about it. If everyone and their mother is given the exact same tools, but fails to use them, they've no one to blame but themselves. There's a pretty easy solution to the "problem" though, you can ignore what you don't want to see, lol. It's not a difficult concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Solo Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thank you Dres, I do understand and your opinion is highly valued by most everyone incuding myself. If I am subject to criticism thats fine. Why can't questions like this be asked of the Linden Labs community?. <(statement not a question) The fora and the feeds are not the personal domain of a chosen few. For a love feature to be instantly siezed as a tool for self promotion > not business promotion Tari < speaks volumes of how the labs good intent is hijacked for.. well... public self loving. Shouldn't this activity be relocated to Zindra also? ^^ How is it that the majority, see such a tool as something to spread good cheer and warm feelings to others and a minority use it in an attempt to either grief/incite or mistakenly enhance their own standing? This is exactly how Kudos has, unfortunately, been abused from the beginning of the Lithium forum era. Both things are simply wonderful and beneficial for everyone if used as the Labs Intended.
