  1. I guess the point is lost on me. I’m quite happy to have been in SL a while and could care less if people make assumptions about my RL age based on my avatar creation date 🙂 If people have issues w *my* age, that’s THEIR issue…….. I. Wish them luck when THEY reach a few chronological milestones 🙂
  2. Group 1: Smart People who read your profile before propositioning you. Group 2: Everyone else (the majority)
  3. I can provide an example…. So there was someone who was showing up at my DJ sets and chatting me up in IM (merrily ignoring that I had a long term Partner and didn’t even play for the team he was pitching to.) Eventually I politely thank him for all the attention and point out that I am severely taken…. So the following week another new avatar takes up where he left off, using some of the same Lines word for word and identical misspellings. I respectfully decline HIS advances and a week later I meet alt #3. Same story on this ones lines, but he also uses avatar design cues VERY aligned w avatar #1, purchased from the same Makers. The place I was working closed and when I moved to a new Gig, he evidently moved on. This individual was fixated on “If I look better and have a better line, the Girl will eventually dig me” - and though that deception was a germane tactic. “Insert quarter and receive romance”……. Unfortunately, he was not alone.
  4. Has the friend expressed happiness about being naked at your house? Said friend may just have hot pants 🙂
  5. I’d call it “Virtual” as that seems to cover it all 🙂
  6. How do YOU define Toxic? Subjectively, I see the RL Resident demographic shifting, which changes the behaviors I encounter. I resolve that by subjecting the ones who bother me (I have a thick skin) to Mute + De-Render and kick them out of my subjective world. Its good to keep in mind the global nature of SL and as new areas gravitate to it, they bring with them different cultural and social mores.
  7. Respectfully, I don’t think it’s a conspiracy by “those of us who have been here a while” to Break LL. Many times, I think that long term Residents speak out because of frustration and an imperfect view of the economics needed to keep SL viable. ”Long term Residents” have had time to get frustrated, and sometimes Frustration speaks rashly. On my Original I have been here since 2005, meaning I have had a lot of experience with Griefers and others who find it expedient to make my SL uncomfortable out of amusement or greed. So I understand the tendency to generalize about “cause”, but Specificity and knowledge of economics is what we need. So, I agree w Zalificent that “Clamp down on free accounts” will not be productive. Its scary to contemplate, but I don’t think many of the vexing behavior issues within SL can be fixed until SL gets and staffs to USE a better way to correlate user-to-avatar and address bad behavior. That’s a privacy issue as well as an international legal one, so would be a hard needle to thread.
  8. Spanish root-names have some opportunities. It would also be nice if last names that have “suffered attrition” could be re-opened for use. Also…I’d love it if “Keen” became a last name option, but that’s me being selfish.
  9. TY so much!! Second Life has been a great opportunity for me, even after I experienced a RL health challenge - especially then. While I was healing up, SL was my connection to “People” and that helped me *want* to get back as much as I could. SL romances get poo-pooed by many, but after being with my Partner for a “few” years here; I suspect it might be the Real Thing 😉
