I don't think there are any more points or issues I could add to Cait's and Botham's excellent posts, which have pretty much covered the whole spectrum. I would though urge LL staff monitoring this forum to communicate these thoughts quickly to which ever team has charge of this area within LL, both technical and administrative.
As has been mentioned by the above posters there is a large amount of scope for the system to be abused, which has been evident the past few days by malicious spamming. As Botham pointed out, the potential for spam advertisers exists too and it will only be a matter of time until this occurs whether by them noticing the opportunity themselves or noticing that the issue is being raised here and elsewhere.
Also it would be useful to have stated what the guidelines are, if any are specific, apropos the feeds as they are able to be viewed by the entire internet userbase if set that way. If people wanted to post adult pics or products in their feeds are they allowed to do so? Should there be some classification as exists on the Marketplace or filters and tags as Cait has suggested.
Finally can I too welcome Lexie back and hope that this means a more constructive dialogue can occur between residents and LL for the benefit of both and ask her if she could seek out Void Singer and entice her back with an olive branch.

Taking things at face value is the last thing thing I do and my response to you was indicative of that in that I asked if you could back your claim up, which you seemingly can't do. Therefore, you are now asking me to take you and your sweeping suppositions at face value...? Didn't you just admonish me (incorrectly) for doing that?
Yours was the face value opinion as it seems based on your own personal musings and an alleged paedo living across from you. I take it if you lived anywhere else and saw child abuse items on the news and there was an alleged paedo living nearby then that country would probably have the most paedophiles?
As regards addressing the post, I believe my first post in this thread did.

I'm from the UK and I will admit my country to many faults, but I could never saythe most peadophile population almost anywhere.If you are going to make that assertion then you had better cite credible data and comparisons to all other countries otherwise you are talking out of your ass. I would remind you that there are many countries in the world where it is legal or overlooked to have a wife at 12 and where child rape happens routinely and goes unreported and unpunished.

Marcus Hancroft wrote:The best solution to this problem is to use the Marketplace as a search tool. Find what you need or want on the marketplace but go to the merchant's inworld store to purchase (if they have an inworld store). Deliveries are near instantaneous that way and you don't have to wait.

I see that you've already raised this http://community.secondlife.com/t5/General-Discussions/dose-anyone-havedoes-anyone-have-any-contact-info-on-the-police/m-p/320651#M133044 and have already confirmed to yourself that the assertion that drawings are not illegal is correct. I'd advise you to raise the subject individually with LL for their view on the matter, though I'm sure they will just point you to the relevant guidelines. An AR is not going to give you a response of their decision on the particular person you refer to.
I'm sure any Google search will give you contact details of the German police or why not report to your own country's authorities if you want to go that route.

'Cos they were way better than any of those other bands, Oasis included. :matte-motes-smile:I know of several clubs that play alternative rock / indie although none which specialise in what you're looking for. Contact me inworld if you'd like me to throw you some LM's.
The Smiths were pre-Madchester, but definitely a Manchester group (as the poster asked for) so you could include,
,and The Fall. -
This should be stickied for pointing others to later. If it was elsewhere I'd give you +1 Kudos Chosen for the thoroughness of the answer.

Ask them if they are wearing mesh clothes. If you are not using a mesh enabled viewer then mesh clothes usually deform to a sculpt shape, but I have noticed when I'm wearing mesh clothes or swapping them around then the alpha layers can get glitchy and I end up looking like the people in your pic.

Oasis, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets et al you mean? I don't know of a club/ or stream that would be that specialised, but let me know if you find one.

Didn't Rodvik post here in response to Perrie?Wasn't there a post from Rik somebody?Wasn't this where I posted?I'm confused. I don't understand this forum and where posts are going. Maybe they got moved? This place is hard to navigate and keep track. :matte-motes-bored:
Yep, quite a few posts got deleted, mine among them...not sure why
Thanks Kylie, I'm happy to know I wasn't hallucinating. The fact that Rodvik's post is gone is what threw me off. That is just strange beyond strange.The CEO is not beyond the reproach of the forum moderators. His outrageous attempts to show a bit of wit, wisdom and parody were a thinly veiled assault upon the corporate ethos of LL and the Newspeak of the fora. Luckily his treasonous post did not get pass the sentinel eyes of the moderators who now await him in room 101.
Therefore, pro-temp, ex-resident Rodvik Linden has been duly censored and all posting privileges have been withdrawn for a period of no less than two weeks whilst he undergoes re-education upon the naughty step. Let this be a warning to all, that the advance of moderation needs no allies and will defy all enemies.
Onward non-specific gender posters with equitable, but aligned views, to a greater Moderacy for all!
P.S. Do I have to say this is parody?

Yeah lots of times. I really wish there was a RL option to set walls to phantom because my head aches like Hell in the morning when I wake up on the floor.

As Six said and don't worry about somebody thinking that you have access to their email addy, it's just a redirect by LL who of course do have their's and your email addy to bounce the message between.

I just looked and you are on the "watch" list Eloise. It is weird though because I don't see any recent update, but then again I could be looking in the wrong place as I hardly ever visit the JIRA.
And yeah i see what you mean, I'll leave it to more experienced JIRA folks to comment.

Eloise Baily wrote:Then why did I receive this in my email notifications today?
I'm guessing because you signed yourself up to the "Watch" list? Therefore, there might have been some new info added today/yesterday, which has been emailed to you?

Stop comparing it to your other games. More than likely all your other games have their scenery, models and texures stored on your HD for super speedy access, meaning those games will always be smoother than SL. SL demands that your "connection" can handle all the scenery, models and textures being piped live down to your PC as none of it is stored on your HD like your other games.
Also, if your PC is new you will still be rebuilding your viewer's cache up to store textures etc for the first time, once stored some things you see regulary will rez much faster than before. Go see if your normal login rez point is loading faster than before.
As everyone has mentioned to you it sounds like a connection problem unless you can provide further details.

Linden Lab wrote:Here is a useful link to the Second Life Community Resources Portal:
Here is a useful link too, Wikipedia.
I think though that neither of our links, very useful as they are, addresses Ms Petrov's question.
If there is no dialogue happening in the Feedback Forum with LL, if the "Community Manager" refuses to make themselves known, if Viale Linden hides in the shadows and turns off his feed and if CTUG meetings are as poorly chaired and unproductive as the last meeting then where are residents/users/customers/posters supposed to have a dialogue with LL concerning fora management and issues. . . ?
A lack of a response to this question would lead to the inference that no co-operation or dialogue is desired by LL. If this is not the case then could somebody please give an informative and detailed answer to Ms Petrov's question.
However. if it is the case that you wish to have no participation or involvement from your customers then have the decency and integrity to say so.

I remember circa 2007 LL published a whole set of user data including age demographics. These showed that the overwhelming majority of the population was 25+. I forget their actual age banding, but you may want to trawl the electric interwebz tubes to find that.
I don't recall seeing them publish anything similar to that after 2007 as I suspect that the 30+ users are probably the pre-dominant group of active inworld users and the largest long term users and LL doesn't want their product pegged as an elderly users' [sic] platform thus putting off young, immature hip users with no disposable income from joining.

Oh but you do. According to Cinnamon (previous page of this thread), we are automatically following everyone in our friends list, but they don't show in the Followers tab.You're assuming Charly has friends though and I think I can say from observations of late that he definitely has none in high places around here. :smileywink:

My guess is the saucy temptress is also trying her luck with many others apart from you, the hussy! It looks like a phishing exercise to me to extract your email address at the very least.
Sadly you have not found love's intended and there is very little you can do to stop this except close your profile off from search and your SL feed to friends only.
