Radium Soup

Note the number of people offering personalised assistance in IM. If it wasn't already obvious, SL is a magnet for those seeking the attention or status that they don't receive in RL, and usually for good reason. Caveat emptor.

Next thing I know, I was gyrating all over the place and being put in several poses. I turned RLV off and she was able to continue. She maintained I had simply accepted an animation that she was able to control through a HUD. While annoying I would have lived with that, the problem was she was able to send me items that appeared in my inventory under objects without my approval/acceptance. I have my preferences always set not to autoaccept. I was surprised that she was able to hit my inventory even with RLV turned off. I muted her and contacted the sim owner to report her actions and to simply watch out for other complaints. Not going to waste my time and breath talking to Linden Lab as they will simply trot out their precious TOS and laugh as I am sure some of you will also do. My real question as there is no info tied to this account except my email and I have changed my password already, is that enough or should I delete the account? Thanks for the serious answers to my questions and to the snarky ones, blow off. Your only mistake was assuming that someone with a 9 year old account in SL has some degree of automatic trustworthiness, when in fact it's a sad insight into their character.

Will toggling "off" all presence controls in the client do the trick, or does that still leave one detectable to those HUD scanners that stalkers love so much? So it's not enough to adopt a fake name (and in this case a compounded fake name upon your first fake name), but now you want additional layers of insulation? I'd suggest consulting a professional.

If fame is measured by column inches or ink spilled, Tizzers would have to be on the short list.

But, I was referring to an avatar with initials: SF. She made tacky crap inworld, and if she's a RL designer, I'm the Queen of Sheba. As for singing, I'd have to hear it to believe it. (There's singing,... and then there's singing in tune! ; ) Maybe she plays a musical instrument, but considering her fabricated BS that was spread on the old forum, I have doubts as to what level of profiency there may be. Perhaps unsurprisingly, She was a He.

My question is do LL block acounts on someones word of harrasment, or do they look into the case first to se if it is justified, or do they not block acounts for harrasment at all? Cheers all Can they? Sure. Will they? Highly unlikely. You need to remember that you're just one of the hundreds of complaints they receive each day, almost all from semi-retarded folk using SL for a reason which becomes quite obvious after a staff member wastes half an hour discovering such. Who is paying for that time? Now if you could dream up a filtering algorithm which precludes the autistic, the failed or the Downs Syndromites, then I suspect you would have at least one VERY interested client.

AMD A10 7870K and MSI R7 250 running in dual graphics locks up at VFS initialization. both graphic options running alone work fine with firestorm viewer. Problem only exists in duel graphics mode and hoping to get a bit more performance is why I added dual graphics in the first place. Other games I have played work fine in dual graphics. Driver Packaging Version 15.201.1151.1010-151118a-296614E Hoping to crossfire two different chipsets huh, I can see you enjoy a challenge. Though it may be obvious to most, just be aware that there's no real support when you choose these crazy custom configurations.

Same reason that google docs and similar services prohibit similar behaviour.

Considering that you will most likely be instructed to file a support ticket for the complaint, why not cut out the middle man and get on with it?

Sorry sir, it appears that you will need to abuse yourself to another fantasy.

I have tried numerous of time's to really get into it. However I always find myself lost, confused, and having no idea on how to begin. I know there is a huge learning curve in this game, i just need the help. I am serious when it comes to me wanting to really get into it, I am ready to spend money on a avi, and whatever else it takes. But I have no idea on where to even begin on making one, I am completly clueles Iv'e searched guides etc... But they're beyond out dated, were talking 2007 and the ones that I did find to e rather recent 2014 does not really explain anything Is there anyone who is willing to take there time to show me the ins and outs of Second Life. How to create a sexy avi? Either in game or on these forums. Would be very appreciative! Thank you These guys who "don't know what to do" yet they manage to trawl trough the website, find the obscure associated subforum and have no trouble posting there (as opposed to inworld). And all of this while operating a well-used account.

jaleasha wrote: "Pammy's is a girls club, so ladies only please." I am a male IRL who always uses a female avatar in SL. I've seen several places on SL described as "ladies only" (or women-only, or females only). Does that mean only people who are female IRL (regardless of the avatar's gender) or does it mean only female avatars (regardless of the users real life gender). There's never any explanation, so I assume everyone on SL must know what this means? Just use a female avatar like all of the other guys and stop worrying about it. Almost all interactions in SL are roleplayed to some extent.

Axelfoxthefoxyfluff wrote: Cause i have read in a book about sl,that many businesses actually set up shop on here,but afterwards,many of them left. I wonder what SL did wrong. Quite simply, they were so desperate for activity that they failed to take out the trash. As one well known multinational is alleged to have remarked on their SL departure; "You don't advertise a premium brand in a toilet".

steph Arnott wrote: Research of 1.4 million Github users shows we write better code. As if we did not know that fact anyway. LOL To attempt to link this article based on Github developers with the Second Life 'scripted-language-for-autiistic-people' is drawing a rather long bow. And nobody relevant cares about gender, so let's toss that strawman right out the window now. The "coder" roleplay is clearly a lot of fun and you certainly would not be the first SL person to think of embracing it, but in the SL context it's like Lego compared to the building industry.

IvoryLace Silverweb wrote: Why does the Destination guide not include Family Role Play in its role play listing? This is a large community within SL. I have a heck of a time finding family oriented sims, schools, stuff for teens etc. and usually find them by luck when i visit some random family oriented place with an ad for another. Is this listed elsewhere? I cant match any category with it. Because they don't wish to promote crazies in the public eye? Just a wild guess.

To cut to the chase, what you want is not applicants, it is supplicants. (I'm going to guess this is a group whose charter does not include literacy).

Tried surreal life? No Rhonda. Men in real life wearing womens underwear and lipstick "Buffalo Bill" style while mutually masturbating in darkened rooms lit by the lonely glow of their computer monitors, they really don't get my motor running. Should I wait now for the inevitable SL suggestion that the obese, the ugly and the failed are not actually as they seem, but rather they are trusted custodians of virtual world sex secrets which regular people cannot possibly appreciate?

JamieThunder wrote: could someone please post examples of: Vaguely clear, Somewhat hazy, a Bit blurry, forms of harrassment? "Clear Harassment" is when a person is a hopeless judge of character but prone to ego stroking, whose past mistakes when selecting e-friends are now coming back to haunt them. "Somewhat Hazy" is when the same person has made the above error, but they are now attempting to rewrite history somewhat in a LL abuse report. This will teach a lesson to that person I want to get even with! "A Bit Blurry" is when the person now realizes that their histrionic whining has so far fallen on deaf ears, and so was not an effective tool in striking down The Enemy. Desperate for any form of revenge at this point, they post rambling stories to all manner of forums in a deperate attempt to rally either support or sympathy. Truth is entirely optional at this point. "Clarity" is a privilege reserved for the owners of the game who can see both sides of these pathetic squabbles between losers. As a result it's invariably referred to as "Inaction" by the aggrieved party.

So I am wondering what the Best Combat Meter is with the most active community as I want to incorporate combat on my Sim. I could not tell you which is currently the 'best' if such a thing even exists. All I can add is that most of these are being zealously chosen for financial or political reasons, not the technical ones which users generally care about (and which will become abundantly clear if you ever see the clumsy source material). P.S. Greetings to JS who will be reading this by now. Come back!
