  1. The Missus n me out dancin for the first time in a couple months. Long story short: hurricane Ian
  2. Someone already did. Again, it's a fast track to account loss.
  3. So? Copybots are a great way to lose your account. Do you have something of value to say or are you just so painfully itchy to attempt to one up me on something so insignificant?
  4. Perhaps best to always assume No Mod. It doesn't bother me in the slightest of the creators want to lock down perms or not.
  5. Yes i read your whole post. Seeing if a purchased item is no mod or not isn't at all difficult. Get the demo. Wear it (or rez it, whichever is the intended method of deployment). Right click. Select "edit". You're welcome. Looks like you're going to have a lousy SL experience by assuming all the creators are evil and out to get you. Why so eager to alter others works? If it bothers you that much, get Blender and Avastar and make your own stuff, just make sure it's all open perms so nobody thinks you're arrogant with the "no mod"
  6. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_in_a_poke https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letting_the_cat_out_of_the_bag Both phrases have references to purchase without knowing the details, whether they're simply hidden by chance or deliberately. " no mod" prevents counterfeiting by not letting unscrupulous persons take an original item apart and using aspects of it to make their own product. It works quite well when paired with "no transfer" and even better with "no copy". I make houses for fun and anytime someone wants one they get it with copy and mod open because it allows them to add textures at will and to have an untouched copy on hand if they do something irreparable. One cannot counterfeit without having full edit ability over the item in question. It supports "do your own work, don't use mine without permission"
  7. Your use of "pig in a poke" is completely wrong. It goes along with "the cat is out of the bag". Both refer to purchasing something under completely false pretenses, and "no mod" is pretty up front. Don't buy anything without trying the demo first, that way you have a much better idea what you're purchasing or even if you want it at all. Cell phones are a very "no mod" item, are they breaking some nonexistent rule by being so? "no mod" in SL prevents counterfeiting and protects the creator's ownership of the design. Not all creator's set it up and that's their right to do so.
  8. I had always thought the average SL members were gorgeous 20 somethings riding the razor edge of technology like "Ready Player One" and that I'd have trouble fitting in at the ripening age of 54 and my tales of "When i was your age i had to put the phone handset on a box and make a call to get internet at a blazing 56 kbps. If i so much as farted vigorously I'd lose my connection!"
  9. I'm so going to hell. Or Middle Earth. Thoorg-Nira would be honored if you'd join her for a dinner of tortured souls and a nice chianti
