Doesn't really matter if its hypocritical or not, its still their choice to do what they want regardless of what anyone else thinks or feels about it. Either ignore it or just accept the fact that they are not going to only do what others say or think they should.
The Op likes to think they are some sort of forum police and gets to decide what is relevant and allowed in the forums. well they are not and never will be. Neither is anyone else here in the forums. No one has any power or control over what the mods or admins or the company says or does. complaining about it is just a waste of space and time and energy.

Sorry you felt that way. I've come to realize that Second Life is a way to get away from politics if we can. We cannot 100% but I believe that politics if the mods here say leave it out of the forums, should leave it out of the blogs period. This is our fun time.
blogs and the forums are two separate entities with different rules pertaining to both. what might not be allowed in one may be allowed in the other. especially since the one in question is run by the company, which has total control and power over what is and is not allowed and doesnt really have to care what anyone else thinks about what they say or why.

I only tip the dj at clubs if I really like the music or if they play my request if I make one. otherwise im just there for the free entertainment. i rarely if ever tip the host or club itself. they should be getting a cut from the dj imo.

I dont really see this as a way to get rid of trolls, for a true troll would take the time to get BAT so they could tip each other to keep their posts at or near the top of the page if it turned into such a system.
It would become more of a Troll wars forum then anything else. Where people would post as stupid as content as they could for stupid laughs.. oh wait that already happens here...

I want to start off by saying this is not a rant, just.a question.
Why is it I can go on steam and play games like truck simulator and drive fast and everything is clear and seamless and nothing needs to Rez or anything, and then when I go on Second Life with the same computer and try to drive on the Linden roads it is a rezzing night mare? Why???
Same computer folks???
Very simply put. in most other games unless its being streamed in, everything is already on your platform of choice, there is a lot less work to be done about the calculations on where things are and how they will interact. In SL you have to stream everything all the time where ever you are, so it takes longer to update what is happening making things like driving, boating, flying more complicated and sometimes full of issues.
The only real way to combat this is to make sure you have as low as ping to the server as possible. SL is heavily ping controlled. Where high ping can cause problems.

It is perfectly normal for a US based company to do something like this when such an important event is coming up. To complain about it sort shows how entitlement minded someone is that they think the company should only talk about stuff they want to see..
Sorry it doesnt work that way and never will.

I have made some very dear friends from the Forum, and even an SL sister. Because I'm such a controversial figure I worry about them being judged for the company they keep.Eventually it becomes obvious. I can take care of myself quite nicely, but I don't want my friends to have to do the same. just because of me!!! Thoughts anyone?
Real friends won't care what randoms say on the forums or in world. So you don't have to worry about them getting hurt because of knowing you.

While we have a breathing space to talk about peeves: What are these things that allow your local chat to be seen all over a sim? Is it a script? A Prim? Its getting really weird going to a sim and people are having a conversation you can see from across the sim! And its annoying!
It's a chat extender script. Usually in a prim or other device. Normally used in clubs or similar places. It's usually in one or more items placed around the sim.

Unfortunately/fortunately, you get back what you put out.
That's if you believe in the law of equivalent return.. not everyone does.
Not everyone cares what other people think or feel or like or dislike nor do they have to.

Nobody 'loses power' by feeling. In fact, it's the strongest people who feel the most.
Rigidity forms when one tries to cut something out of themselves, and they are actually the weakest ones, as they can't bend like a willow in the storm.
Even the willow will break in the storm eventually. So it's not the strongest either.

How YOU choose to respond to words is not the absolutely ultimate way for all human beings. Others respond to words differently. You have no right to tell others how they should respond to words. As you always say, EVER!
I'm not saying how they have to. I'm saying it's a choice how they choose to. Which it is.

What about being scared by the sound of a twig snapping in the woods? The reason humans are here today is that natural selection weeded out those who did not get scared by the sound and therefore stayed complacent until the predator ate them. Sure, 99% of the time the sound is benign, but the consequence of rational complacency might be terminal.
What if I turned my most withering gaze upon your SL friends, making their lives here so miserable they contemplate leaving? Will you rush to their aid, offering words of support? What if my words are more powerful than yours and they actually depart?
People can be harmed by words they never hear.
How's that for power?
It would not work with my friends here. They can't be bullied or intimidated so easily. They would actually just use block and be done with the problem. They are not so weak as to allow such things to affect them in that manner. Or they would ar for harassment and block.
There is a difference between here online and being in the woods alone in rl. And one is a word and one is a sound. We respond to each differently.

It takes much work, a lifetime for most people really, to perfectly embody such choice in life. It's a process, and almost nobody totally arrives (perhaps the Saints do).
I would never call anyone such a derogatory name as 'victim' for not being where I think they should be in their growth process. The fact that you feel a need to put them down, call them a name, reveals to me that you're not actually at such a "high" developmental place as you think you are.
It takes a lot less work than you try and make it seem. It doesn't take a lifetime for most people. Maybe a couple of years if they really want to learn to.

And people who can choose to stay in character regardless of their feelings and ego's.
So you are basically saying you chose to abuse what you have also stated as being their right to require.
They may think they have the right to request it. But it doesn't mean anyone has to obey or respond in that manner or respect it. No matter if they are in character or not.

This would be somewhat true if the forum was "Dark Adult Role Play" but it isn't.
While on one hand, the reader assigns the power is true, on the other hand it is not.
The "fault" of the reader? This assumes that everyone reading is an adult, and has no issues whatsoever. To utter that "words have no power" is foolish. Words have sent people to war, to protest, and to suicide. As someone with PTSD, I can say I have been triggered by random words in forums. Do I think everyone should censor themselves because of my PTSD? No. That's too much back-bending in the other direction. Do I think people should be aware that violent things can affect others? Yes. Do I think people, not just kids but adults as well, can be bullied by words? Threatened? Absolutely.
A forum is a social place. There are social rules and norms (and moderators) for a reason. There ARE places where one can say whatever they want... 4chan is one. To pretend that every forum is 4chan is foolish and trollish. To say "Eff you, I do what I want, when I want, how I want" is one of prime red flags of antisocial personality disorder, not "edgy-ness".
Words have no power but what the reader or listener ever gives them.
They are not magical or powerful unless the person chooses to react in that way.
How you respond to anything is always a choice.

Emotions are not some kind of "fault". Most people experience reality with their objective mind AND their emotional self at the same time. For you to insist it can be only one way is a kind of illusion, and it's disrespectful for you to tell other people they should be exactly like you (or be deluded like you).
If you read a book or watch a movie and get scared it is your fault. You choose to get scared.
Same goes with anything said online in any forum.

I think if something is arousing in SL there's a greater chance this would also arouse them in RL. Whether this means they'd actually attempt the action in RL is not totally clear, at least the last time I checked studies in the area of general violence in video games and how it translates to RL.
There is a major flaw in most of those studies.. they are already biased and looking for information to correlate with what the author is trying to prove. But doesn't make it true by any means.
Any study can be made to show something is true even if it is false.
Just because someone might fantasize about something doesn't mean they would ever do it in rl even if they had the chance without any repurcussions.

Is it frightening to you that there are those who become sexually aroused by killing and eating women? This gives me the shivers...
No, it's not. Since it's just fantasy here in sl. You can't really be hurt here. Only if you take it seriously and internalize it.
Most of it is just sexual innuendo for other activities.
Most of the so called darker kinks are just sexual innuendo in what they are really meaning.

I don't think it's about censorship. It's about being considerate of others. I can swear a Blue streak in public if I want without much fear of repercussion, but I don't and wouldn't because it would make others uncomfortable.
I have discussed Dolcett, vore, snuff, and similar topics here before. It is possible to do so without being so graphic that you are frightening or disgusting people.
If people get frightened by what is being said in text.. they really should re-consider being online in any forum or chat interface.
It's just word's it has no power but what the reader gives them.
Which means it's the fault of the reader for getting scared or upset about it.

I disagree. To pose my explanation in a question, do you associate with people who behave around you in a manner in which you don't like? If the answer is no then you are deciding how others can act around you. It's part of being human. All of us make decisions as to what is or isn't acceptable behavior in our presence.
It's a bit of a stretch but if someone were to start beating up on another just because they can while you are present, would that be acceptable behavior to you? Would it be acceptable to you for someone to commit murder in your presence? I'm not asking for specific answers, just that you think about it a bit and maybe you will realize that all of us make decisions as to what is or isn't acceptable behavior in our presences.
What I mean is they don't get to tell me how to act or behave. It's not their choice about that. They do get to decide if they want to stay around me or not. That is their choice.
They also don't get to tell me to stop because they don't like it. If they don't like it they can move away.
Unless I specifically call out their name.. they are not part of anything I am doing. So have no say in it at all. Even then they really don't other than to block or move away.

Usually I don't agree with censorship, and I'm reluctant to insist that my fears should control anything...but I think as a society there's a general agreement to protect people from encountering experiences that could be too intense or frightening. That's why we don't allow graphic sexual and violent images on the forum or in some public places.
That desire or need to protect is part of the problem with society and why people get hurt. Because they were protected and not warned or told about and talked to about how they feel about it.
Exposure with talking about how it makes someone feel is better than trying to censor it in order to protect.

I feel very protective of those who have been oppressed due to sexual preferences, be it in RL or SL.
However, when that guy made a big production out of bragging about getting off on roasting, grinding up, and eating women....I felt frightened. I feel there should be some limits on discussion of kinks on the forum.
Eh.. a dolcett.. snuff.. post.. eh that's light stuff compared to what you really can be exposed to in world on some sims.
Censorship of any kind about any topic is not good at all.

Actually there is a way to do that using the FS viewer. You can increase the size of the cache beyond the 10GB limit but it basically requires the use of another computer to do it efficiently. You can increase it up to 1TB if you really wanted to doing it that other way.
