I thought managers could read this forum. This question is not for me only it could interess others.

No I am not talking about knowledge base but about the forum. Something that add value to knowledge base with discussion.

I know how to change the content. I still can remove the text but It would be huge work to delete all messages older than 1 month (or 2 or 3 month) one by one. I think RGPD law has something like that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten

In the same direction. It there a way to delete our old messages?

Where is the section in this forum for new player ? I am not new anymore but I am feeling that this section would be perfect for me. I still have so many things I don't understand and so much to learn.

Thank you for your link that remind me that it exists pages that people wrote. But but but I can start and I already read that. It helps. I recall you that reading english demand me a huge effort. And if for exemple I need to know what is texture for sl ... I can start reading lot and lot of pages... I will learn few new concept. or I still can use the search "texture". What is a texture?. https://community.secondlife.com/search/?q=texture&type=cms_records3&nodes=30 And I don't find anything!!! Or I find many things where the concept of texture is needed to go further. Is texture a sl word ? Is a word that every body should know and that is no reason to explain ? This is only an example. You have many other concepts terms or words that are used and not explained and if you don't understand it you are disadvantaged and confused. This texture was my starting point. But you have so many terms or concept that is needed as prerequisite to start playing.

I realised that I am missing so many basics concept and vocabulary. Why is it so hard to understand what the word rez means for example. Why this language needs so long to be understood. This is just an example. But this morning I realised that I didn't and I still don't understand the concept or texture. I received a hat. And as this hat was to big and did not fit my head I started to change it. But the color was not nice. It was a good example to play with right clic and edit the object but I meet the concept of texture. Is it just a image a picture but in the inventory you have photo album and texture. In texture I have photo too. So now I am very confused and I realised that I don't know what is a texture. All lessons in sl assumed that the prerequisit is that every body know what is a texture. And nowhere I meet a definition. So a face walls and I block. Some people suggest to follow sl course. I tryed but I was lost. It was so fast and I didn't know course for beginer. I even don't know if I need a beginer course. What is the best method to learn SL? Is it building course? And when we need to 'learn' SL' The social aspect is missing often in this kind of lesson. We learn how to create a cube but we never learn how to communicate with other people. How to act how to play etc.. I am learning by myself like a baby but it needs so long. That is why I am asking this question. I know you will give me links or youtube video or even courses in SL for new people. But all that is so confused and often the prerequisit is not mentioned and I realised that I didn't meet it. The lesson for beginer is so boring too. What is your suggestion ? I am always asking 'stupid' question that people are angry against me. And they don't understand my needs. They are not empathic. I think in SL empathy is the main things that is missing. People do not know how is the other people. So they block or ignore it. What is the best method to learn SL? The best method for you in your experience and a good path to learn it. What is according to you the most important concept to know? To start playing. I know SL for years but it is like I do not know anything and I am feeling like a new player. What is the best method to learn SL?

I don't think it depends of the location. It just depends of the people. I notice that some people are here but don't want to have more friends. They are here for ... Other purpose. They should have lot of friends or they are here for 'work'. I am not here for 'work' I work in RL for me (I will shock lot of people) SL is a game. I play here. If I don't play with other people I play alone. Of couse it is not as fun playing alone. But socialising a a game. You can loose. (You try to make friends and you cannot) or you can win (you meet a really nice person with whom you are fine with).

I wanted to add something with the debate : talking in Private (IM) against public (Nearby chat) When I talk in public, often have the the impression that there is no reaction and I am talking alone. After a while that makes me really strange to continue talking to 'everybody' in fact talking to 'nobody' or talking to myself. When I talk in IM the chance I have a response is higher. Depending of the context the chance is 85% to 10%. That means statisticaly I need in the worst case to do 10 try to get one. It is not as bad. But I know that I have sometimes a unluck to have 9 failed against 1 win. It is part of the game. I gues who is willing to play. I guess it to myself who is willing to talk.

What is the good places and the wrong one?

nice to meet you

What make that look. The skin or the head ?

I hate the question "how are you" and sometimes I reply I am bad or I am not very well and sometimes I detail a little bit more. And I know that it is a reason why people don't want to talk with me because for me it is like a role play and I am not playing right. If you say I am not good Sometime you have answer - why But you never get why you are good. This world is not logic. You can say I am good because the sun shine and everybody is nice with me smile

One think I notice when I use local public chat is that no body notice or reply that is the reason why I am using private message. Is it bad? do you think it is the reason why it is so hard to just talk with people?

I don't believe in profile. I know only someone after few interaction. Most profile are meaningfulless. I mean it is not personal. They copy from the net something ununderstandable and that have absolutly no meanings Here is an exemple of profile I just pick up now "'' Mande seus problemas à merda e suas doenças irão com eles... '' (Adriαηø Vєrαs)'' Mande seus problemas à merda e suas doenças irão com eles... '' (Adriαηø Vєrαs)" If you understand something you are lucky and many profiles are like that.

I always use IM because some people me including do not follow local public chat.

I am not in SL for dating reason. I am here to talk with people of everywhere in the planet. Interesting meeting people from russia or Argentina or Algeria etc.. Then lerning english then learning how to build then simply to have friend and talk. Yes It is very hard for me. I get blocked mute and simply ignored. But I think it is normal because I don't know how to play then I try harder and I am learning with my mistake. Most people are not helful or just friendly. It is just my experience.

Do not go to Frank's

Playing SL as a male is hard. - If you need a nice avatar you have 10% of items than female - If you want to talk with a female. You are disadvantaged. Female hate males and prefer females. (hate is maybe exagerate but at least you are not welcome) As a male I am always feeling that I disturbe. if you approach a female she already think that the male want to ***** and try to make the conversation hard telling you that you didn''t start correctly because stating a conversation with hi is not good you need to start with more words. As male you need to be the best and do all the leading. You have not the right to be starter and to be learner. Rarely female start a conversation with male. As a male if you don't start you never talk with a female. If you go in some place people are really strange. I was for example in Franks and pleople are afk most of the time. When they are alive they are really strange and talking a strange language. then they block you. Yes Second Life is a game for female and male are not welcome.

Today I am happy that this place will close. I try to go to this place when I learn that it will close. But I notice that it is very hard to enter in communication with people. I am feeling like I disturbe. Feeling like a stranger who don't understand the rules. Each time when I talk with peole either I get blocked either the conversation stopt either and this is the way I prefer my talker tells me to stop talking with. This is definitively not a good place for me. No one understand me and I don't understand the rules of this role play. The first step is very deep to enter. And I am feeling so bad to not play successfully

Starting conversation with someone new my experience tonight., I had the idea to go to Frantz because this place will close soon and I thought It would be a good idea to meet new people and why not to have friends. Fist I see someone, read the profile that is telling something about humor. Good I think I have humor and I start talking first. After few lines, I try my first joke. She said that I am young. I said that in 1 day is like 1 month and as I was 2 years old and she was 9 years I said. She could be my grandma. And then reply that I am stupid. and stop. --> maybe not the right person for such kind of humor. Btw I wish to have a mom or grandma on sl someone to teach me how to do etc... second conversation - Hi ... - Hello - "a little better, but! still needs work" - I thought that she reply to the wrong IM but actually it was for me. We continue to talk and she explain me that I didn't start the conversation correctly. This is exactly the subject of this forum. I say that I always start conversation with hi or hello etc... We talk but it was like if I was in a job interview and I miss the start and try to correct the interview but at the end it was a total disaster. I never thought that just talking with someone could be so challenging. I must to say that sometimes I am a little reactive or provocative on purpose . Then this second convesation was not a success. number 3 someone say hi .. but the conversation stop after 3 lines. My conclusion. Some people have huge expectation on conversation. For me it is just simple and must be pleasant for all. But I realised that that STARTING A CONVERSATION COULD BE CHALLENGING. So I agree with the first reation.

- The hardest things for me in SL is the inventory. You spend almost all your time for searching copy past, renaming adding wearing etc... things in folders. Inventory is all in SL. If you understand it you understand most of it - Second you need a good level of english. It is excellent to learn english but sometimes it is too much. You understand but you don't understand. You think you understand but you understand other things that the reality. - Then of course avatar and the complexity of type of cloth and attachement. - Vocalulary is not easy to understand. After years I still don't understand some words like rezzing or inworld or prims etc... I know in theory but I never use them and when someone use this words I don't understand the whole sentense. - On other things is the temporality. You talk with someone you have a very good conversation. We get friends and more and then pluf . It is like it never exists. Disparition!!!

Humm for me Hello is not a dead greeting but invite the other to say at least Hello. You can stop after if you want. Otherwise I take that to be not polite. Hello for me means : 'I am here' or 'I see you' ' I wish you a nice day' etc.. But I am sure I am wrong because english is not my language. It is only my feeling.

I agree. This shop is a disaster the search is not relevant. You have no filter to remove demo this is the most anoying part. you cannot search for specific brand. For exemple shirt for Slink In other shops you can search and make filter by brand, and many other criterias. One other things I remark is that I find many times the same article. Dupplicated articles or the sql query is not correct. An other criteria would be - classic - mesh because I already did a mistake and buy a classic cloth thinking it was mesh. Or buying demo without noticing it. It is a disaster but better than shop in the game. Because you need to wait too long to see something. 1 mn per item. so search in shops in the game is worst. Finding was always my problems. I get spam everyday of unsolicited things. The first thngs I do is deleting all message. But when I need something I don't know how to search to find it. Exemple I need a skin for Altamura and AK head. This is a real challenge. Hopfully I have this forum with lot of friendly and nice helpfull people.

Women do you start conversations or are you waiting for someone to say something then decide if it is interesting to continue or not ? When you start are you using the advice you are sharing here. As a man so many time conversation starts in 5 steps 1- Hi or Hello 2- I reply Hi or Hello 3 How are you? or something similar 4. When I don't care I say 'I am ok' or I am fine etc... Sometimes I like to be provocative and say 'I am bad' I am not well etc.. 5 - Nice to hear 6 ---> The real conversation could start.. Sometimes I don't do step 1 to 5 but start at the 6 and come back to the 1 afterward. Because it is very impolite to start a conversation without saying 'Hello' At least in my culture.
