actually its not legally binding in all cases. you are buying something to use how you chose not how someone else thinks you should use it. several game companies has even have their wrists slapped before for trying to use such tactics. play my way or else... there is no legal contracts about what you buy here in sl. except between you and LL for the price of the item purchased. beyond that its do what you want with it even if the creator disagree's. content creators are not the gods they like to think they are at times. the only true gods in sl are LL. Even a sim renter is not a god even if they like to think they are.

And then you create a new account and begin again and again and again, it cant be stopped. those who do it dont mind starting over again if needed. its the fact that they can do it that is all that matters to them. Even in some online games some things cannot be stopped or controlled. Many games have tried to create ant-cheat systems or anti-afk systems to have them defeated over and over again. Its a giant cat and mouse game that never ends.

not entirely true, can a software designer tell you how to use their software on your computer after you buy it. no they really cant. even though sometimes some like to think they can.

we will have to agree to disagree on this point of contention.

and that is why copybotters exist to stop such things. thing is you dont own if if you give it away to someone, you own the original not the copy that was given away. its not really your choice on how or why they chose to use it or not even if you want to think it is. or else every creator could arbitrarily say I dont like how you used my object stop or else. which would lead to even more copybotting. I know a few creators who try this already and they dont always get their way, people can find a way to break that control if they really want.

once you give something to someone else you dont really have any say on how they choose to use it or what they use it for. you dont get to be their boss and tell them if they are allowed to do something or not. which is why copybotting was started to stop those who think they have the right to put gateways on certain things. can a car manufacture tell you how you are or are not allowed to drive a car? no, nor can you if you sell or give that car to someone else.. you may have had it created but it does not give you exclusive rights over how it has to be used. you only get those rights by not giving it out to anyone else at all. can a tv manufacture tell you, you cant watch certain shows on the tv you bought or was given. no..

people who need to be unique are those afraid or being seen normal. the new normal is to be unique and different and special.. im different I stand out from the rest, look at me. im unique and special. when really everyone is just the same regardless of how special or unique they really think they are. anyone could remake the item if they wanted to take the time to learn how and make it exactly like the no-mod or no-copy unique special item.

just do away with the no mod, no copy feature altogether just make it non transfer

its my toy and you cant play with it...im special and only I can have it.

hey only I can combine words to new spancy(sporty yet fancy) things!!

your right setting things to no mod does not stop copybotting at all for those who like to think it does. there are still ways to get around it if the that user really wants too.

Many of these ideas would be good if implemented, the problem is they would slow SL down to a halt every time someone chose to use it except maybe the rename feature. The reason that it maybe not allowed for then it makes the item look like something its not and anyone looking at it might be confused that the creator sells that specific product as named which they dont, meaning it would be harder to look for in the MP. They would have to be time limited, such as will only apply on server restart day. which would then disrupt a lot of people when they logged in to find their inventory was magically altered without their agreeing to it. Imagine if you bought something and then the creator used the transfer and delete option on it to give it away to someone else. everyone who bought it might loose it at that point. Imagine if you bought something and a creator got a bug up their arse and used the delete all option because they were rolling out a new version and wanting everyone to come get it. suddenly the item you were happy with as was is gone. that would be very frustrating to some people.

If anyone takes notice it seems that most that lost their title are those that have been active, most that still have it have not been very active except for a few.. Maybe they feel the few they left deserve it more than those that had it. Or it could have been completely a random experiment to see how people would react to it, which several here showed exactly how they would by flouncing over it. Which is sort of childish. No one is entitled to any title or rank her but what LL ultimately decided they get. maybe the active ones got the boot because of recent posting styles or being too snarky, maybe the inactive ones didnt because they have not been on the forums in so long.

to each their own, at the end of the day what matters is how the person getting them thinks about them or interprets them. none of the negative responses really matter to me. I think their amusing when used. Oh what would some people do if LL ever decided to reformat the forum and reboot it and start everyone at ground zero again..I can see the flames now.. and it would be glorious.

sometimes I think I have, but oh well.. good night and sleep well.

I can do the same thing... i know im not perfect, never claimed I was. otherwise I would not be here in sl being a dragonness..

I learned that lesson on several places. and I can remember everyone of them to this day over a decade ago as if it was yesterday. people want to see me as the bully thats fine I can be the bad guy if that is what it takes. I no longer let that bother me anymore like I would have years ago.

perhaps...perhaps it was just because I got tired of seeing new residents treated like shiat at times by some members here because they thought it was ok to be rude to them and didnt have to care if bothered them. so it brought out MY shadow side just a tiny wee little bit. give people a taste of their own medicine regardless if liked it or wanted it or not.

simple to prove to them they do have one and they are not as great a person as think they are at times. so maybe just maybe they will think a little before responding to someone new or old in these forums without any thought to how it might affect them. call me a mirror if you wish. but one that shows the ugly side back to people if needed. call me coyote or loki or many other similar names. if they cand handle me then how are they going to handle someone worse than me, ive actually been pretty tame with my responses compared to what I could be.

not to all people perhaps, but it does show the shadow side of their personality that they think they can hide or say doesn't exist.

touche.. shots fired. LOL..

its not really, just some people like to think their snarky actions bother me. when really it doesnt. just deflating their thunderclouds is all. its almost sadly amusing to see people act in this manner, it shows the real person of who they are and how they really can be to anyone they know nothing about.

no one on these forums can hurt me or make me upset or mad. no one controls my emotions but me. i dont let petty things upset me or get my angry. I used to be that person but I learned it was a waste of time and energy to give that power to someone else.

people chose not to use ignore because they are not emotionally immature where they cannot take being attempted to be mocked or ridiculed or made fun of because the are so past those childish games its just humorous when others try it.
