Actually, I have noticed in the last few days that the mods, once they have actually got online, have been able to dispose of the detritus at a stroke, unlike previously when it seemed as if they were having to delete each spam post individually. Congratulations LL on some progress, however, minor. Wooja...expectasignificantimprovementatsomepointinthenearfuture

I personally understood it was the official FIFA term for the extremely successful short-passing game practised by Spain when winning the last World Cup. Nevertheless I shall bow down to Marigold's obvious expertise, while noting that if trivial posts were to be removed willy-nilly (I recommend not looking up the etymology of that particualr phrase on a full stomach) then the forums would be composed of nothing much but feminist propaganda and n00bs asking why they were wearing boxes. Of the posts which were nuked, my particular concern was regarding one which was an extremely serious and valid criticism of a lack of transparency in the announcement of the restoration of the JIRA. I presume Community Linden has god-like powers, and that one of their uses is to avoid embarrassment. Wooja...takethisthreadalittlemoreseriouslyifithadbeenstartedbyebbelinden

In other news, there is a brand spanking new anonymous Linden, Community Linden, foisted on us with no explanation of role or accountability. The good part of the news is that their feed is open, which presumably means that they are accepting comments, suggestions and invitations to party. Until they lock it down again... Wooja...thinkwehaveallweekendbeforetheynotice

l understand that several posts have recently been removed from the forums without the authors either being informed of the reasons for their deletion, or indeed, that the action has been taken. This appears to conflict with historic commitments from Community Managers that all unilateral forum actions would be informed and justified to the principal participants affected, and indeed, contradicts the new CEO's public commitment to transparency. Has the policy changed? Wooja...expectthisposttodisappearmysteriouslyandifsoebbewillbeinformed

Woofa...frightensthelolcatsawayanyway Grrrr. IT WAS A PUN!!!!! When 100% of all previous postings by an avatar account have been impassioned and reasoned (see, I'm offering you a backhanded compliment) insertion of levity is not immediately credible unless signalled in some way - which is probably why emoticons (spit!) were invented, although historically it has been achievable by deliberate dumbing down of a normal standard of grammatical exactitude to generate a faux personality that is immediately obvious to most, although some ingenuous readers will still have problems. I like the Grrr. It frightens even more of the lolcats away. Wooja...believemeifisaidiknewitwasapunbutwantedtohighlightitincaseothersdidntunderstanditwasandwasright

I read this as "roleplaying in Gor" == "supporting evil". This was based on Carolinestravels saying "...Gor bashing thread..." after stating that she roleplayed in Gor - if Carolinestravels did say that she supported evil, then I apologise. As it is, I don't see the need for you to have said the following two paragraphs if you weren't equating roleplaying in Gor with Real Life evil:- Pussycat Catnap wrote: I grew up in a world of drug sellers.... [and etc] I've met real sex slaves... [and etc] And:- Pussycat Catnap wrote: I realize that there are a lot of people in SL who think rape and slavery are social goods - and we need more of it, and maybe more in the real world too... and they're ardent supporters of Gor and even the 'lifers' of Gor This implies a correlation that I've never seen. I don't know if this person 'who thinks rape and slavery are social goods' exists to a quantity that can be called 'a lot', and I also don't believe that if this type of person does exist on a wide endemic scale, that it would be exclusive to Second Life Gor. Please link any evidence supporting this position, else - as I said above - you're inventing this or otherwise having trouble separating fact from fiction. I don't see any way that roleplaying in Second Life Gor directly leads to either the drugs trade or the slaves trade in real life. Outside of the population averages for illegal activity and empathy-reducing mental illness, I can't imagine that the two can possibly be related, except within your post and perhaps your imagination. ETA: Evidence to bear in mind, according to http://slgorsurvey.blogspot.com There are more Kajira than Free Men (31% vs. 25%) Most Gor roleplayers are interested in meeting new people (249/363 Multi-select answers) 8% of Gor roleplayers play to fight 17% of Gor roleplayers play for sex Most Gor roleplayers prefer little-to-no discussion about the books (47% vs. 14%) 52% of Gor roleplayers are turned off by 'Bad Administration' Added to which: 11% of Gor roleplayers tell the truth 34% of Gor roleplayers don't know what day it is 75% of Gor roleplayers play to assuage their inferiority complex 25% of Gor roleplayers play to massage their superiority complex 48% of Gor roleplyers are turned off by 'Good Administration' Most Gor roleplayers are interested in dominating new people But most importantly 84% of Gor roleplayers are so illiterate they can neither read the books nor understand this post.Wooja...dothewashingupwoman

I think augmentation of avatars with internal organs is much more of a priority. It needn't cost much either; certain non-Lindens could have working brains transplanted in, and their current ones would fetch very high resale prices - after all, they haven't been used.

I think there may be a bunch of people that perhaps LL has not bothered to inform of the new attitude of "transparency and empowerment". Wooja...makesureyourducksareinlinell

Laskya, there is a cosmic difference between the aims of a Sith Lord and a Gorean male: the former wants to subjugate every living being, whereas the latter is much less evil, being content with mastery over only the physically weaker 50% of humans, which is a much more easily achieved ambition.

A month goes by, and Ebbe (or his PR sockpuppet) does PAs in SLU, drive-bys in these Forums and indiscriminately retweets everybody and his dog on Twitter - but his profile feed is locked down tighter than an ex-VP of Marketing's proximity card. Does this mean that the my.secondlife.com web property is doomed to stagnation and morbidity? Or perhaps nobody has told Ebbe about it, because they are too embarrassed . . .

It doesn't mean that he is bound to be there and nowhere else. It just means that there's a fair chance that he would be found there. Perfectly clear. The word "try" means give it a go.

So, instead of wasting my time thinking about this any longer, I'll just assume that you really have no idea what issue you actually had with what he said and just decided to be impetuously cantankerous. ...Dres If I wanted to be able to find Phil in SL should I try the sims where the closet homophobes gather?

Sorry, Del, this is where your expectations are likely to end up: Livy said: "With little hope, the boldest measures are the safest". But I doubt if Ebbe reads Roman historians. Wooja...prefersamueljohnsonwhosaidthereremainslittlehopeofreturntokindnessordecency
