[Discord...how is it used by the SL community.]

I should mention that before such things as discord people used to use services like teamspeak to do the same thing. It works almost exactly like discord but with a few differences and looks.

[Discord...how is it used by the SL community.]

people often use it for groups or voice chat, since it works better for both then what sl provides. on discord you have more control over what people can say or do or what is showed. since you can literally delete what comments you don't like if you are the server owner. it provides more power for those obsessed with it. plus its outside of sl, so the tos no longer applies with what you do with what is said or shown on the server.

its also used by some to keep in contact when not logged in and when to plan on logging in together. Its also used as a way to get around rlv chat restrictions by some people so they can play at being a sub or slave and then still chat with whoever they want while their chat is blocked by rlv inworld.

Geez, thanks Drakonadrgora.  

I kind of doubt that is the reason.  I think it's because people text on their phone now and share real life stuffs like pictures and videos with real life people (family and friends) on Facebook, plus many see SL as 'too hard'.  When I share SL stuff on FB, replies are usually something along the line...'I could never understand how to do that'.  Plus, people like the free of FB and the ease of use.  

Your welcome. combined with the fact that it has a moderate learning curve, no real goal, people that can be rude or crude, its outdated in graphics and abilities. sl is just old.. its not shiny or new or fun for most people. so there is less reason for most to stay.

current generations want easy to do and learn things, things that are shiny, have good graphics, fun things to do, sl is lacking in several of those categories.

there is one effective way. only allow select people to post,  we did it for a while when we got crazy busy on the old phpnuke forums,  I know people are going "shut up moe, your not helping" but long as I've been administrating forums, I'm a bit jaded, certain types of users are typically gotten rid of on their first post by the spam filters.

Even that is not one hundred percent effective. There are some people that even using moderated posts would not stop them. I had my own forums once before too. I let it die after all the headaches of trying to keep spammers and bots out of it.

[Maximum posts per day - again ?]

The methods used to try and stop the problem makers only work on those that are easily deterred. a true troll or spammer wont care about such limits and will wait their time until they are past the date required then start to do what they want.

its called create multiple accounts with multiple emails and using proxies so different ip addresses then let them age and only make a post now and then to keep them looking active, then once past the due date.. let it rip.. seen it done on several places before. There is no real effective way to stop a true troll or spammer.

nah, only voted once in my entire life. oh wait maybe it was twice.. none of the people I voted for either time won. so I decided my vote really didnt matter... just like me.

its to make you stop and think and then come to the forums to ask silly questions and get silly responses from silly people because of silly reasons.

Me and my friend were in the Coach and Horses in SL London and this man came in and started being really rude for no reason...he said "Good name, your avatar looks like a rat" 😲  My friend would never back down and she cussed him out until he told us he was reporting us, then said he'd muted us...

Then he told the only other person there that we were idiots and we could say what we wanted because he couldn't see our chat, and my friend said something like "I wish I couldn't see his RL profile pic wig", and he went bananas, "THAT IS NOT A WIG!" 😲☺️

proving he didnt have you blocked and was just being an arse about it like a lot of people do.. oh the fun times when people do that and then get caught..

[What are some more of your pet peeves?]

I usually have voice enabled so I can listen to others talk, I have speakers, but I dont talk through voice. I will just respond in text. Im more used to using text online from all the games and irc and other text message services I have used that voice just seems sort of pointless to me.

peeve... people who object into being turning into other...  some people like to be objectified. or turned in to a mirror or chair or lamp or painting or some 'other' thing.

[Taking a break from the SL Forums]

I have no ignore list. I know I am on several peoples lists here and that is completely fine with me. I am not here to be liked by everyone or friends with everyone. Thats not my reason for being here. So for anyone that ever ignores me... more power to them for using the tools to make the forums what they want. I know I am objectional and controversial and brash at times and im not changing either. Those that don't like it.. ignore me. It doesn't hurt my feelings, I am old enough not to care about the childish popularity contest that some get so infatuated here with. with being with the in crowd, the cartel, the liked crowd. I am just here to share my views and opinions and thoughts and that is it. If people dont like them or how I say them, that is their problem not mine.

Do you mean their own needs conflicted with yours and so you could not get what you needed from them, and so you felt hurt and betrayed? Or were they sadistic and actually wanted to hurt you?

It's the latter, the sadistic ones, who are emotionally immature and don't handle their pain well, that I personally avoid. You will invariably be harmed by them eventually, as when they are hurt by another (and hurt is usually a part of all relationships as nobody can meet our needs perfectly) it is perceived as 'against them' and they feel compelled to strike back, to exact revenge.

I imagine that people such as Scylla have a good sense of when someone is emotionally immature and would likely strike back when needs conflict in a friendship, and so creates for herself a world where there is greater trust and more fulfilling relationships.

its not as easy as you think to tell when some people are going to hurt you or not. Some people are very good at hiding their motives and reasons for doing things until they actually do them. and they dont always have to be a sadist either. for not all sadists are evil and only seek to hurt anyone they come across. a true sadist only hurts those who want to be hurt in a consensual manner.
