Coronavirus Response in SL Communities
Jagix Linden replied to Bree Giffen's topic in General Discussion Forum
This thread has been quarantined. I wash my hands of distributing warnings to anyone, since I understand this topic can get people all fired up, but I did go ahead and sanitize the thread anyway. Fortunately, the thread never truly went viral, so there were only 8 pages. For real, though, stay safe everyone, wash your hands, and be cool to each other. This may be a non-issue for some, but it's going to be a huge deal for others. Please make sure everyone's respecting that.- 189 replies

We got reports of a dihydrogen monoxide leak, so we're locking the thread. A new-ish hazmat team has gone through and cleaned it up, and, though they're a bit wet behind the ears, it should be safe to go about your normal forum activity. If additional leaks or violations are discovered, please make sure to summon our crack team of dihydrogen monoxide specialists using the appropriate abuse reporting tool (Report Abuse in-world, Report Post in the community, Flag on the Marketplace). We're ready to help you!

I can't speak to the rest of this forum topic, but "Information-only" listings are not permitted. Selling something for 0L$ that essentially gives you an advertisement for the real item would result in the item being delisted. That, and a bunch of angry buyers. Buyers do not like it when they have to read into the item description to understand what they're getting as-is. Imagine how much worse it will be if they're not even getting the item.

Gentle reminder that discussion of actual moderation action—e.g this thread was removed, I was banned, etc.—is not permitted. If, at any time, you believe you've been unfairly or inappropriately actioned, you're invited to create a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ to submit an Abuse Appeal. Side note: the Abuse Appeal category is not for reporting abuse. There's an in-world tool, mysteriously named Report Abuse, just for such a purpose. It's the best and only way to get the attention of the Governance Team to review in-world abuse claims. For those premium members who like to report abuse to Live Chat, that's the tool they're using to let the Governance Team know about the abuse. You can skip a step and go straight to the source if you use Report Abuse. So, to recap: This thread is to discuss what you can do on the forums Abuse Appeals go to Support under the Abuse Appeal category Reports of Abuse go to Governance using the in-world Report Abuse tool Bob's your uncle FIIIIIIIIVE GOOOOOOLD RIIIIIINGS

I can, but in the interest of communicating the spirit of the law and not the letter, I'm not going to. The reason for this is that the more specific I get in an example, the more it encourages someone to get closer to the line, e.g. "Jagix said that Monday is a bad day for racist profanity, but he never said anything about regular profanity on a Wednesday, so I'm in the clear! What do you mean I got actioned!? That's not what Jagix said!" Also, fun fact: actioned is the blanket term for warnings, suspensions, and terminations, etc, as opposed to sanctioned. I suppose I could use sanctioned, but... nah. I'd be missing two letters if I were trying to spell sanctioned instead of actioned!

It depends on the offense. Someone who willfully, blatantly, and repeatedly violates the Community Standards, particularly in an egregious way, is likely to be actioned both on the Forums and in-world. You're not likely to get an in-world suspension, however, for a minor offense. There's no joke in this post, and, for that, I am ashamed. Oh, wait, is this the joke part? Whaaaaaa-

Everyone is obligated to follow the Terms & Conditions (which includes the Community Standards, among other policies). You're not, per se, obligated to report people who aren't, but it'd be sort of like going, "Man, there's a lot of crime here! Someone should call the police, but not me, because I'm not a snitch!" We're here to help and make those determinations. Follow the rules, report people who you think aren't doing that, and we'll make that determination. There's no penalty for being wrong on either end; mass reporting to get someone suspended isn't a thing, and you're not going to get in trouble for being wrong about your report, unless it's really clear that you're submitting false reports to purposefully clog up the reporting systems.

Hey, remember that time that we all read the Community Participation Guidelines, especially the part below, and then we continued posting pictures of our avatars? Good times.

Here is clarification on Linden Lab's Policy Regarding Age-Play as linked in the Terms and Conditions. But not everyone speaks legalese or wants to think too hard about what the wiki states, so I also memified it for you Hey hey hey, where did Geordi make his ban hammer? In La Forge!

Seriously? is this legal?
Jagix Linden replied to Kardargo Adamczyk's topic in General Discussion Forum
While Thanksgiving may not be celebrated yesterday by countries other than the US, it appears that the time honored tradition of gathering with your family and going off on a long, uncomfortable tangent that makes everyone angry and leaves important people feeling dehumanized holds strong, even if it's just another Thursday. At a normal Thanksgiving, there's not much you can do to erase all the terrible fights. But here? There's me! Like a good set of tupperware, I've scooped up the leftovers, and now we're all on topic again. Let's keep it that way.
