[I forgot how toxic this community can be!]

Maybe find different people to hang out around or different places to hang out?  The way your profile reads lets others know that being accused of cheating is something that will get under your skin - maybe find a different way to indicate you are in an open relationship (just in your picks perhaps) and then let any comments just roll off.  

[I know almost nothing of game, need help]

Start exploring to get a feel for the world and what is out there.  Find some places in the destination guide that look interesting and go visit them.  There may or may not be others there when you visit, but it will still provide an opportunity for you to see the variety of things that are available and have been created.  Some places will have a 'greeter' that may offer information about the location and/or a group associated with it.  If you like the place, join the group to keep updated on activities there and to be able to chat with others that might have the same interests as you.  There is also a 'newcomer friendly' section in the destination guide - those are good places when you're first starting out - they often have more information and help available.   You can also use the in-world search in the viewer to find places that might interest you.  Just going out and visiting places will also help you refine your navigation skills and may lead to meeting other people as well.

Thank you, I just received the formal offer for my new position which I accepted.

 

Congrats!  Wishing you all the best and that it is as wonderful as you envision it to be.  

[Casual Clothing]

Generally I don't worry too much about what I where when I go out shopping.  I tend to dress casually more often than not.  Probably the biggest exceptions are when I decide to go to a big shopping event (which I don't do too often) where I try to wear an outfit that is low in complexity, or when I'm going to a lot of shops on the same day that focus on fantasy/medieval RP style, and then I will wear a medieval type dress.   

[How does your avatar look today ?]

Received an unexpected delivery today (many thanks!) - a darling dress reminiscent of a classic style, but with some fun little touches with the buckles on the straps and the exterior pockets on the skirt. 

Added some heels and felt ready to take on the world!

Dress: Ducknipple  DN Mesh: Reily  

[Why Do The Lindens Tolerate This Kind of Griefing?]

Whatever you may think of Prok,  she's been harassed for years by a hard core of griefers who think it's fun to persecute her and make her blow her top.   I'd be paranoid and bad-tempered if I was on the receiving end of a fraction of what happens to her, and so would you be, too.

 

My alt was renting from Prok for awhile last year, and came home one day to find some of those effigies mentioned inside the rental house - I think there was at least one in the living room and one in the bedroom.  I have to say, it's quite a shock.  

[Yay for the Forums]

I really like the new forums - not just the new look and feel, but the atmosphere is much more comfortable and friendly (as well as still being fun and entertaining to read).  I still don't post as much as many of you do, but I think I may have posted more often since the new forum software came on line than I did in the last 3 years, and that is mainly due to the improved atmosphere.  

[I only remember one part of my Avatar name]

Did your main avatar ever by the alt a gift thru the Marketplace?  If so, you might be able to find the name in the marketplace order history.  The marketplace history sticks around much longer than the L$ transaction history. 

( from marketplace screen -> my marketplace -> my account - order history)

[This topic is now closed to further replies.]

My thoughts were that it wasn't necessarily just the content, but more that someone complained about the content being in the GD forum.  (Though I also thought it was on the tame side compared to some of the posts that appear in the Lifestyles forum posts.)

[Should nudity, sex and adult sims only be for premium members?]

As for your earlier post stating sex sims h ave always hosted fish hunt, well the four years I've been on SL and played it not once was it in a sex sim prior to last December.

LL needs to take note of this, there are RL kids .playign this game forget weirdo adults in kid avatars. sims with cam sex, voice sex hosting it

If you feel that the fish hunt game shouldn't be hosted on adult sims, it seems to me that is an issue you should take up with the people who run the fish hunt game.  

[Animals]

You might also try logging off and then back on - I know when I've had a problem rezzing a no-copy item (such as the breedable animals generally are), it's not until the next time I log in that it shows back up in my inventory.  I don't know if this would apply to your situation, but it'd be worth a try. 

Good luck!

No I'm not to blame, I'm not expecting ***** Ville to be hosting games intended for people seeking innocent fun.

The games are intended for people who don't mind putting in some time to get free lindens - which I would likely include people  who seek adult types of fun as well.  Un-check the 'A' in your maturity ratings, and then you won't have to worry about ending up on a 'sex' sim - if you try to TP there, the system will prevent you from doing so.  

I fail to see how this would be solved by your 'poll' question in your original post of whether nudity, sex and adult sims should be limited to premium members.  If that is a poll, my answer is no.  I don't think it would solve any of the issues you've brought up, plus not all adult rated sims necessarily have visible sexual activity occurring in the generally accessed areas (I'm thinking of some stores I've visited that are on "A" rated sims, but I have never seen anything when I've been shopping that would in itself require an "A" rating). 

[Animals]

Have you checked your Lost & found folder?  If you returned everything all at once, there would be 1 item in the folder (with an icon which looks like multiple boxes) which would contain all the items together in one object, though it would be named for just one of the objects contained in it.  It's possible that they may be in that object.    

If not, I would contact the support for the type of animal you bought and explain the situation and see if there is anything they can do.  (I'm also fairly sure that even if you still had the original birth sack, you would not be able to 'birth' another one from it).

[Should nudity, sex and adult sims only be for premium members?]

I'm a little confused as to what the real problem is, and why limiting nudity and sexual activities to premium accounts only would be a solution.  I got confused with the later complaint about non-sexual activities (i.e., free linden games) occurring on 'sex' sims.  

If you don't want to take a chance of ending up on a 'sex' sim, change your maturity ratings so that you can't access adult rated sims.   Just curious as to whether bebejee is a premium member or not...

[item sent to wrong person]

One thing I found when trying to buy something as a gift for someone was when I filled out the information for the recipient, if I then clicked on "Buy Now" button on the product page, the process bypassed the gift recipient information and sent the item to me (and left the gift order still in my shopping cart). 

My advice when buying something as a gift is to (1) fill out the gift recipient information, (2) go to your shopping cart (where you should see the item showing that it is a gift and the recipient's name), and (3) complete the purchase from the shopping cart.  

[Im on day two of no voice options,]

EmpressReborn, you might want to also check the Firestorm Voice troubleshooting page here.   Most all of the information on that page applies regardless of whether you're using the Firestorm third-party viewer or using the standard LL viewer.  One of the main things to understand is that bulk of the voice service is provided by an external application SLVoice which is made by the SL voice provider Vivox (which is separate from LL).   So, one of the important things to check in terms of your firewall is the SLVoice.exe is not being blocked by your firewall or by your anti-virus software.  

There is also a place inworld, where you can go when you're troubleshooting voice issues - Voice Echo Canyon - where anything that you say in voice is echoed back to you.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Voice Echo Canyon/127/126/24    

If you're not testing at the Voice Echo Canyon, make sure that voice is allowed at the location you are at when you're testing.  Not all areas in SL allow voice - it's an option that the land owner can set, or not set. 

Hopefully there will be some information in the Firestorm voice troubleshooting page that will help you get everything set up so that voice works for you. 

[My land was taken away from me.]

This is a strange situation, just based on the information posted in the original post.  I think if I had something like this happen (land I owned showing up with a new owner, without me having abandoned or put the land up for sale) the first thing I would have done would be to contact Live Chat, which is one of the benefits of being a premium member.  Even if they said I needed to create a support ticket, I would have had the opportunity to speak with a support person, and hopefully they could also help if the response on the support ticket was not satisfactory.

I hope this gets resolved for you, or at least that you get some answers that explain what and why this happened to you. 

[Exporting SL Content to other platforms]

I more meant like i found an Avatar and want to build something for it. like a body i want do dress for but strugeling to have a model to work on so deciding to just buy the body, copy bot it. export it from SL, import the model than in i.e. Blender. Do my mesh work with the help of the model and Upload for selling just what i work out. I mean beside i have to get the Model in a way which seems either black nor white it do not sounds that illigal to me.

It does sound illegal to me.

I think you need to do what other clothing designers do - see if the maker of the body has a developer's kit, get or apply for that and then make your creations - or use mesh clothing templates that you can purchase which are  full perm, with the appropriate downloadable files provided with the purchase of the template (though these may be constrained by their TOS  for use just in SL, not on other platforms or grids).

Though if any of the mesh body creators see this thread, they may have some reluctance in providing a dev kit for their body. 

Disclaimer: I don't make mesh clothing or any other mesh items.

[Amazing Technology?]

I don't think I would want to be one of the developers for the software for self-driving cars.   One of the other things about self-driving cars that was mentioned in an article I was reading awhile ago, had to do with what decision should a car make when the situation is to either hit a person, or hit something else which might injure/kill the driver (and would people be happy with cars that might injure them in order to not injure another person).

I think the thing that amazes me the most, although I haven't seen it in person, only read about it, is 3-D printing.  What amazes me is that it can actually make things that are usable.
