[Who is Linden Lab?]

I thought that Linden Lab was the pseudonym being used by Viale Linden now he is the Community Manager because it would be awkward to square his promotion of the disnified aspects of SL to the general public with his association with the Adult Continent.

[Hosts & Hostesses]

My friend and I used to have competitions to see who could do the dirty with hostesses quickest. They were obviously desperate for money or they would not be doing such a demeaning job so I used to cheat by offering them sums of L$ they could not turn down whereas my friend considered it a failure if he couldn't bed them without bribery.

[Where all the African Americans?? lol]

Or was that "White Chicks for Black . . . "

 

or "Black Chicks for Black . . .

 

I am a member of all of them actually. It's just as well to cover all the bases.

[Where all the African Americans?? lol]

I have not read the whole thread but I think that you might find a satisfactory answer (as I myself have certainly found considerable satisfaction) by joining the inworld group "Black Chicks for White . . . erm . . . Richards"

[Is there a reason . . .]

. . . to start a Vampire Forum when there is a sparsely populated Role Playing subforum already in existence?

Or do LL know something about Annie O'Toole that suggests that it isn't just a fantasy?

[Re: More from Melanie Milland on vampires inworld]

Don't be so hard on Melanie, she has two whole forum posts to her name so she must be completely au fait with the culture here.

[Do we know who runs this forum now?]

It is fairly apparent that Rod has lost his grip over the forums now Lexie has disappeared and the new Community Manager has declared Unilateral Rule. But does he know what is being done in his name?

[A Course of Action]

I really do not understand what you people are all complaning about since although I did not see the post that got the miscreant permabanned I am sure that it was redolent with hatred for Vampires who are as everyone knows the sweetest beings to be found in Second Life and even more hatred for the misunderstood and hardworking moderation team and its new leader who are taking wonderful new initiatives to engender a little spirit in these dilapidated forums.

 

Bravado I say to the actions of these guardians of moral might! Bravado for executing their duties so fearlessly in removing from these forums someone who might have been considered a noisome plague since she joined, offering unacceptably thoughtful opinions in a manner which the less discriminating might consider "civilised". It's just as well the mods can see through that sort of deceptive sarcasm, isn't it!

 

So let that be a lesson to all you other posters who contribute views that do not conform with the marketing strategy of LL. Your transparent desires for education, information and entertainment, in contravention of the final paragraph of the Community Guidelines, must be constrained, or retribution will be exacted.

[What's going on in here?]

Not OVERmoderation but moderation that meant that even if you obeyed the Guidelines ad TOS your posts could still be deleted. Many posters felt that it was a waste of time composing constructive coherent rational or even humorous posts if they were going to get taken down because one person or a mod felt oversensitive that day. Some of us still do.

[The Ladies who Lunch Club]

@Storm:Actually the way the forums are laid out your cigar smoke must be drifting up inside DQs skirt.

[The Ladies who Lunch Club]

@DQ: I made the request on these forums. You or one of your cocensors probably had the post removed.

[The Ladies who Lunch Club]

@Dillon: Your response does not do much to dissuade those who believe it was the LWL themselves who persuaded the powers that be to remove a threat to their cosy existence nor does the offhand response of the cofounder and I am not just saying this because my application to join your terpsichorean oenophile coven seems to have been consigned to File 13.

[What's going on in here?]

MaryAnne - The Guidelines do not have anything in them about posts needing to be of a certain degree of sensitivity which seems to be the critical criterion for not being deleted without any explanation and when occassionally an explanation of sorts is offered it does not relate to either the post or any part of the Guidelines or TOS. One womans snarky and derogatory comment is another womans accurate and clearly stated opinion of a murky and formally unsubstantiated paradigm which matches the outdated morality of the Mary Tyler Moore Show or maybe I would quote The Golden Girls except they were at least funny in their ridiculous attempts to get laid. The question is are the mods members of the LWL.

[Going to da mattresses]

I have it on good authority that Storm has a cold which accounts for his strange dialectical mix of Noo Joyzy, Gangsta and pidgin or should that lt one be bitchin.

[Do you play in SL?]

I hate clowns and I am really frightened by them. I think it is because of something that happened when I was small. I was visiting my Dad where he worked in a bank as a teller and a robber in a clown's mask shot him in the face and killed him.

Also a great idea

Somebody ought to reverse-engineer the food scripts and distribute them for free :matte-motes-evil-invert: (Just kidding. Mostly.)

Reverse engineer? Does this mean you want your pets to be vomiting all over the place? Or worse, ejecting it from the other end?

[Do people make friends by posting negative content?]

@Cait: That is not my experience.

[Help! My friend was stolen by “A” Rank!]

The day that I get a "letter" rank is the day I retire from the forums. So if you want to hasten my departure please feel free to give me lots of kudos!

[Where Do The Brits Hang Out ?]

Bars. Not necessarily singles bars. My experience of them is that quite a few drink doubles.

[Okay Now Turn Your Head and Cough........]

@DQ said "My intent was not to discuss my comments but to offer yours to the Community Tool Group." So you haven't joined the movement but you are quite happy to be its spokesperson? Hmmm!

[Have the kids made any difference in SL?]

The average reading age of forum participants has gone down to about 15 years.

[Okay Now Turn Your Head and Cough........]

@Dee: Whether you like it or not, your post has confirmed you at the very vanguard of the PIC ard movement. But you must have blinked and missed the moderation of posts which breached the Disclosure regulations with regard to alts, however others might wish to split hais about how and why the ToS is being applied in that area. Beware anyone else who might wish to make accusations of altdom, since whether you are right or wrong, or whether you have actual evidence (*extremely* unlikely) or are just demonstrating your psychic powers, you are going to be disciplined.

[Limit creators to two inworld creations per day.]

@Ashtolat: Please don't be driven away. We need someone to fight the corner of the creative types who believe that the Grid *SHOULD* be about creativity, and how LL could make money out of that focus in a sustainable manner.

[Image limits and the consequences.]

@Wildcat: Sorry, but you are expressing yourself imprecisely. Do you mean you think I deserve more respect (agreed) or I should be more respectful to others (which I am when they earn it.)
