    It does happen.  The only products I "sell" in my tiny Marketplace store are freebies.  Once in a while I get thanks, or a positive review.  But I also get NEGATIVE reviews.

    For a gosh darn FREE item.

    So what? If an item is garbage, the buyer reserves the right to describe it as garbage, so others don't waste their time and effort having said garbage pollute their inventories. 

    If this upsets you, don't trade in garbage

    That's sold by other people...the EXACT SAME item...for up to $L1,000.

    I find this hard to believe. Such price disparities don't exist in re-sells...unless you are admitting to using a copybot?

    What would be awesome:

    This is a good job ad. LL's previous job ads read like boilerplate from some HR type. This one was written by someone with a clue.

    Except very concerning that there is no mention of diversity or equity. 

    May I ask LL: how many people of color or the LGBTQ+ community do you currently employ...?

     

  3. Ah: but I've spent 10+ years trying to warn you of the rising tide of fascism and racism on SL, only to meet with non-stop abuse and endless attempts to gaslight me (some of those responsible are still scuttling around this forum)...


    Even worse, I've experienced hostility from LL - I expect Jagix The Apathetic will pull my posts a million times before he even dreams of leaving his beanbag to DO SOMETHING about inworld fascism and racism. No wonder so few POC sign up...why would they want to be subjected to country clubs with confederate flags, nazi slime openly putting the N-word in their profiles, or sickos starting threads about how its so funny tee hee hee! to don digital blackface...?


    But I won't stand by in silence and tolerate it.

  4. If it keeps the greedy content creators, anti-'noob' bigots and premium account pushers (SL's heroin) away, then... leave them as they are.

    I hear dozens of conversations in these areas compared to the five lines you posted... for some, these areas are the only safe space to escape the sick grasp of the exploiters who want to push their mesh for a pound of flesh...

  5. Those attacking Cheesecurd...instead of thanking him for trying to rescue SL...should be disgusted with themselves. Some of the worst trolling I've ever seen on this forum. 

    Now - let me state: I WARNED YOU. I TOLD YOU THIS WAS COMING. This isn't a little 'nice thing to have' or a 'luxury'. Having a surname is ESSENTIAL for anyone wanting to merely exist in the new pay-to-play SL hell. Soon, Residents will NOT be able to build, work, script or exist in the metaverse.  THEY ARE TRYING TO PURGE US FROM SECOND LIFE FOR GOOD. THEY ARE OSTRACISING US AND GIVING US A THIRD CLASS EXPERIENCE. 

    We're not running out of time - we were running out of time in 2014. This is critical - NPIOF Residents are about to be PURGED. We need to raise JIRAs NOW and keep up the pressure - make LL realise they must SCRAP the name change fee and reintroduce surnames for EVERYONE

    This isn't just our responsibility - Premium users NEED to support us all the way on this - use your privilege to call LL, create tickets, fight back against the name change fee (and the Premium-only name change option). It's the very least you can do for us. SL is dead, otherwise

    Did she give you full permission?

    I have neither the energy or inclination to argue with you, Ms Tennyson. Suffice it to say, thank you for your hostile garbage, and now please ***** off with your smug arrogance, envy and spite directed against those of us who, unlike yourself, have had the guts to salute the people we care about in the forums, rather than sit in a snug SL ballroom and sneer.

    Yes, full permission. And yes I am happy about that. One of the few but precious things in my life at the moment about which I have every right to be happy. Sorry to disappoint you by still being alive.

     

  7. If this is true...and LL really is withdrawing LEA funding...I say...

    GOOD RIDDANCE 👍

    The LEA charlatans and poseurs have NEVER given one damn about the SL dispossessed...the homeless sandbox dwellers...the civil rights advocates, fighting a mounting tide of nazi filth on these forums...the residents who turned to griefing because insane 'creators' jacked up their prices by 50%+ in their greed-fuelled fantasies of wealth and stardom (huh huh, Beavis...mesh...meshhhh...sounds like huh huh...'poo willy brain'...huh huh huh...)

    No, DAMN you 'artists' and your worthless garbage...how does it feel, now the boot's on the other foot, SLIME..?? Enjoying yr discomfort SOOOO much. The chickens have well and truly come home to roost...

    As I said to Torley Linden in 2014 (when ALL of you VEGHEADS were griefing...we see you), art is a commodity that soothes the inadequate. You artists are the enemy of noobs. The disgusting vision of SL you've thrust upon us has stifled all genuine creativity, communication and compassion. Bury your galleries yourselves...we'll not partake in the clean-up effort.

    We've gone without grants since day one. Now, damn you for complaining about receiving the same treatment. This is what you wanted instead of socialism. 

  8. May I just say...

    As one of SL's most loyal users...and yet one who has had to weather constant, vicious bullying from the 'forum cartel' (including PMs telling me to drink bleach and kill myself, and abuse so bad I had to log off with a migraine for several days)...9+ years of sandbox griefing (mostly the alts of 'respected' creators and landowners)...total disinterest from LL (it should come as no surprise that they consider basic accounts 'second class': nor should you expect them to clear up the filthy, foul 'CANZ I PLAY AS ANOTHER RACE DUHH LOLOL DROOL" nazi threads that still continue to pollute this forum like the excrement caking the sidewalks in San Francisco...)

    I can't deny a sense of schadenfreude at seeing some of my tormentors now crushed by the very juggernaut they stubbornly toiled to create 🤣

    As I mentioned before...this is what you wanted instead of fairness. Now live with it.

  9. Makes me sick to my stomach to agree with the OP (I remember him well from Goguen Sandbox...a 'virtuous griefer', the worst of ALL possible worlds...)  but he is right. Security orbs MUST be banned if SL is going to even attempt to claw its way back to relevance...

    (But in this current hypnagogic game of 'huh huh huh duh, let's play dress up dolly', does anyone even CARE about 'relevance' or meaning anymore...?)

    They are griefing tools, plain and simple.The fact that the owners (griefers) pay LL monthly for the privilege of activating them shouldn't delay their permabans from SL for violation of TOS...at least sandbox griefers with pee-pee guns don't claim such risible victimhood...

  10. But there IS a SL2...(or so it should be called, to avoid confusion)...

    It's the 'SL' of mesh, sordid fashion blogs, style over substance...aka 'Poser World'...!

    Creativity? Education? Adventure? No...get a Cat Wah head and stuff it with junk...SL1 died in 2014...

    "Make YT videos exploring the ruins of World.com!" they say

    "Why bother when you can set your home to Korea3?" I say.

  11. * First name / last name selection ability for ALL players, fee-free and regardless of membership type

    * Land discounts for merchants who offer trivia machines, money trees, pay-per-votebox facilities, etc, on their land - assist newbies.

    * A ban on ALL banline systems that offer less than 100 seconds to leave the area - and punishment for those who set them for quicker ejection periods. Disabled people use SL too!

    * Utilisation of abandoned land for independent/unfunded educational and arts-related projects.

  12. Well let me see...

    * Set up my own resell business just three weeks after joining and made over 300,000 Linden dollars inworld

    * Helped to clear Public Sandbox Island of griefers, almost single handedly - there isn't a griefing tool that wasn't used against me!

    * Have been a tireless advocate of justice for insolvent residents; incentives for business owners who help new residents with money trees, free sandboxes inside their stores, donations, etc; 'Fair Wages for SL Work' (pay DJs what you owe them!!); and permabanning of racists

    * Once completed a walk across the entire mainland.

    ...pretty interesting, overall!

  13. No, this question is wrong...we are IN the hell that is Second Life 2.0...

    We need to return to Second Life 1.0. Roll back the clock to late 2009 and celebrate the grid, instead of trying to be what is not...

    I thought that the system was stacked against newcomers 9 years ago, when I suggested my 'welfare for noobs' scheme (let's not set off a troll alert again on that score! 'Forum Cartel' - RIP and good riddance). But looking at how things are now, I'd say they were good times.

    Get back to what you know, not what you think you know.
