[Changes to the state of Tennessee's online gambling law]

So I've heard about this new Tennessee decision and I did a little digging, because I was curious as well, and spoke to our legal team. Here is what I found out:

Tennessee’s new law  legalized sports gambling online and in mobile apps; it does not extend to the Skill Gaming we have inside Second Life.  For this reason, Tennessee will not be removed from the list of Prohibited States and Countries found here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Second_Life_Skill_Gaming_FAQ#Prohibited_states_and_countries.

[Nothing really changes :)]

Good morning and happy Friday! Well it was happy until I found this thread...  Unfortunately I will have to lock this thread since, as some of you have mentioned, it has gone waayyy off topic. Please keep in mind to remain on topic when posting your opinion (or at least stay within the ball park). Also, if you have an issue with an individual, please message them separately and discuss that issue in private. 

I hope you all enjoy your upcoming weekend! I'll see you guys around the Forums  

[Why go mesh?]

Hiya everyone!

Man I hate to see a good thread go downhill so quickly. Please remember to stay on topic. If you'd like to discuss something with a specific Resident please use your private messages for that. Do not post your issue or your thoughts regarding that individual in the thread. That's not what the Forums are for. I really don't want to have to lock this thread since it is a good discussion. So let's keep it going with a good conversation and educated opinions.

[Second Life is filled with petty and rude people.]

Well this thread took a couple turns only to fall off the tracks in the end. I'm happy to see that some of the conversations were educational and helpful. I'm also extremely happy to see how well the not-so-good conversations were handled by some. Unfortunately due to the nature and extreme direction in which this thread has gone, I am going to have to lock it. I know some of you saw this coming and or thought it would have happened earlier. I really don't like to close threads unless I have to. This is one of those times. 

As Tommy Linden said "You don't have to like someone, but the expectation when participating here, is that your interactions follow the guidelines, and community standards." Sometimes it's best to agree to disagree. Continuously responding with negative responses and words that are meant to harm will not help anyone in this community. 

Let's remember we are a community to help one another. Please don't make me close anymore threads. It makes me sad.

[Found possible skill gaming stuff in non-skill gaming region :x]

Hello Chaser Zaks!

If you find any Skill Games outside of a Skill Gaming Region, please file an Abuse Report so that we can take a look. Even if you aren't sure about the games being Skill Games, we encourage you to file an Abuse Report. You do not need to worry about bugging us.

[Question]

Hello Thornycroft! 

The only way to get banned from Linden Lab/Second Life is if you violate the Terms of Service. If your "being rude" doesn't violate any part of the Terms of Service, then you will have no issue.  

If you have any questions about the Terms of Service, here is the link for you to review it: https://www.lindenlab.com/tos
