Your dissertation is not. SL is loosely ruled by :robotmad: Governor Linden and the governance team, an apparently benign dictatorship.

Sassy I think what you do is a great idea The 'Residents' I am talking about are totally generic and have a mix of resell items and 1 or 2 "Brand" items. Their profiles don't provide much information and don't match the creators of the "Brand" items. And there is no indication "authorized dealer" (Agent). I can understand the Lindens allowing a listing of a supposedly ripped "brand" item from someone who isn't around or doesn't care or even file a DMCA. But there should only be 1 listing and LL knows which one was first.

Ok, "Resell" items are acceptable and i'm sure the Marketplace keeps on eye on those... So, what about when they are not resell items, but actual "Brand" names of creators in SL or does that not count as a "Brand" name?

Pamela, Are you saying 'Reseller items' are allowed multiple listings (spam) as long as they are posted by seperate agents? That type of SPAM is allowed??

RyOta, that is correct. And that is what I tried. I tried to flag them! And they did not disappear. I flagged them again. Still there.

Irene, I believe you are correct about that. Thank you for your insight! Listing Guidelines mentions "Item Spam" and says multiple item listing won't be tolerated, for ANY reason. Can you have a friend make a duplicate listing? Are you allowed to have another 'Resident' to also list your product so there are 2 listings of the same thing but sold by 2 different 'Residents'? Besides "item spam", isn't the 2nd Resident breaking the "Branding Guidelines" ? Why are these kind of things allowed to go on with the Marketplace? Would I be breaking forum rules if I posted 5 different examples all by the same 2 avatars? :matte-motes-big-grin-evil:

On the Marketplace, can you list products twice by using an alt?? Is it acceptable? Could it be possible?? Really??

Phoenix lets you decide if you want others to see yours, if you want to see theirs, if you want to see your own and if you want to see names above them or not. You can even see their names, using Phoenix? I wonder if I can do that with the Linden's viewer.

Call their Bluff: the ball is in their hands to file a DMCA.

Do you use a firewall? Sounds like an issue with your router or a conflict with the firewall. Remove the router, and disable any firewall and antivirus. (You can add them later with proper configuring and debugging in the meantime make sure you dont run any other programs if you are concerned about security.)

When you report someone, LL never informs you of any action taken. Also, rumors seem to indicate that IF YOU ARE RUDE AND YELL IN YOUR REPORTS OR REQUEST FOR ACTION OR ELSES DAMMNU!!!!, your reports might become routine file13 materials. Just sayin... in case you intend to actually have some improvement in Your second life.

An in-world chat filter. Why not?! They have an inworld translator...

Keli Kyrie asked: How many do you use? It always changes, constantly, sometimes i may get up to a dozen or more. Right now I have 2, but the first one i just closed because I got bored of it, so now I just have this one tab "Reply to Message". Should I post a screenshot, if it makes things easier?

That is like asking: Does RL promote Health and Wellness. No RL does not, but PEOPLE in RL do. If you want Health and Wellness promoted in SL, YOU can be the one to promote it here, although there may be some type of Health and Wellness businesses in SL.

Not everyone uses Penix... so here's something more useful for EVERYONE. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Show_Look_At (edit: actually that's for most sl viewers, not Everyone)
