Good to hear LL is doing something about those merchants. I noticed alot of ripped material too from other games, movies or brands being sold. And im doing a good thing to put them out there, part of the reason why they are able to troll is because people are ignorant and do not know who these people are or what they are trying to do. Alot of people do not know how security works on sl or wait too long before removing them, instead getting triggered and providing them with material for their videos.

Because those old items is what new people buy, they have no idea what they are buying, they don't know what sculpties, mesh, or scripts are. Part of the reason why SL is so laggy is due to old items still being sold and used on sims.

Well those are not their actual names, they are channel names on youtube that deal with griefing and trolling. Not accounts on SL. I know what name shaming is, but those are not their real names nor are they accounts on SL.

Why should i remove the names? Its better to let people know who they are so they can deal with them properly if they apear, the trolls seek attention or to trigger people to make their videos more entertaining, people should not allow them such and instead simply ban them. And why it matters, it matters because people want to be around places were people are actually active, to find people to talk to or hang around. Not deserted places where people refuse to talk or just stand around for days doing nothing. It is what makes them leave quickly again.

Second Life needs to seriously expand, putting it on steam would give it some attention. No, Steam is not just for gamers, there are creative platforms on steam too. Alot of people complain about the graphics in SL or that it is filled with trolls and griefers. Well, the only way SL is getting any attention right now is from Trolling and griefing videos on youtube which only makes more want to try it. Britbong, Estaban Winsmore, Oliver Sargent, Cleptar, The Bad Guys, Derrick, Lavender Storydel are some of the channels i found making videos like those with quite a lot of viewers. As for graphics, SL needs to update it mainland areas or any public LL owned ones to actual mesh instead of sculpties or prims from the old days. The mainland is filled with those places, they lag horribly and are mostly deserted. SL also needs some serious cleanup and do something about the traffic meters. Right now the most traffic goes to places with AFK adult sims, where people sit around on furniture and get tipped from sexual activities or places with bots everywere. Traffic needs to be redone to monitor how active people are instead, by moving around, chatting, or voicing. Also the marketplace is filled with junk from 2008 - 2010, still sold at full price, old scultpies, laggy scripts and so on.

What happened, read some posts from 2012 where LL said they would expand SL to Steam.... why have it not happened? Second life seriously needs some advertisements out there to bring in more people, last i checked SL had 50k active users and it keeps flactuating around that number, in the past SL had over a million active users... what happened?

They need to post those updates faster if anything happens, i thought i was hacked lol...

I don't even use twitter... jeez..
