Maturity Changes in the Marketplace
Imnotgoing Sideways commented on Brooke Linden's blog entry in Commerce
Can we please get a cookie on the shopper's maturity setting? It's bloody annoying to re-enable that thing every frigg'n time. DX -

Has anyone had rogue names appear in their friends online list?
Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Debz Debevec's question in Account
Has anyone considered changing their display name to say "I'm not your friend"? It can be done... Just wondering. =^-^= -

Welcoming Teen Grid Organizations to the Main Grid
Imnotgoing Sideways commented on Terrence Linden's blog entry in Featured News
Here's what worries me: I see nothing about restrictions on Instant Messaging. (>_<) Okay, kids will have access to the main grid in a controlled environment where they can't venture out and do risky things. But, what's going to stop Uncle Lumpylap from IMing these kids? (T_T) -

Finding out what viewer a resident is using
Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Deborah Ansar's question in Technical
Reminds me of a friend I have who runs with Show Look At enabled 100% of the time. I asked how she could operate in SL with all those crosses on the screen. She explained how she couldn't live without it. Kind of gave me a disturbing view of her mentality in the process. (._.) -

What are the best programs for making/capturing videos inside SL?
Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Soji Slade's question in Creation
For capture software, consider CamStudio. It's free and allows you to draw your capture frame in order to exclude difficult UI features or at least narrow the resolution for reasonably sized videos. ()y -
How to avoid idiots in public sandboxes?

I use the NCI Sandbox in Kuula. The place is often packed with land officers so nobody's really able to act up for more than a few seconds. ()y -
AR'ing something repeatedly - when does it become spam?
Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Starchild Magic's question in Abuse and Griefing
It's Open Collar. They took the easy way out to use a readily available leash script. Odds are, they don't know the animation module is still in there, or, the animations themselves have been removed with the module still in place. Of course it's full perms... It's Open Source. That's the whole point of the Open Collar licensing. That items MUST be modifyable. And, yes, the COMPLETE Open Collar system is an adult BDSM system... Made up of modules that each individually have sexual and non-sexual purposes. I'm sure they lack the funding (Being a donation based service) to maintain parcels all over the grid. I'm sure the few parcels they maintain have to take into account the most extreme measure of 'maturity' their product entails. That doesn't mean that 100% of the scripts are 100% sexual and adult. Separate those modules and you can have a perfectly non-sexual item. Even the Animation module. I'm sure hugs, cuddles, and tossing-toddler-in-the-air animations would work just fine in there. Using your example of moddable, animation scripted items... I'm sure a full perms chair, desk, or kitchen sink would fit your definition of "potentially abused" items. That full perms preschool chair could be modded with a lap dance, you know? Will it be? Who's to say? But are you going to be out to AR the maker of the chair based on how bad it COULD be? Come on... A blank sphere prim can be made into a sex object. Sit on it, turn it sideways, and rock it back and forth using the edit guides. Instant butt-hump. No scripts needed. A blank sphere is full perms too. Just imagine the potential debauchery that can be done with that blank sphere. Someone could rez a second sphere, put them side-by-side and call them testicles. Who's to argue? Some wacky scriptor and animator could load them with rape animations. Then nobody will look at blank spheres the same way again. To top it off... Those blank spheres could be colored blue and pink, thereby furthering gender inequality grid-wide. Some day, simply the sight of blue and pink spheres will instantly render the image of sex in people's minds. Oh, wait... And, frankly, I do believe Open Collar is the best solution. They're low lag and low rescource scripts maintained by a large and productive group of scriptors. No need to re-invent the wheel or use an antiquated stone roller of a script that lags sims and/or operates with questionable stability with zero technical support. You ARed it once and your AR got ignored. It wasn't an accident. You were wrong about it. That's all. But, if you want to campaign against it. Feel free. I'm sure, if you continue and/or drive others to do so, it will be gone before the end of the week. Does that make you right? No. Does that improve the grid? No. Does that save the life and innocense of anyone? No. Does it prove that anyone can annoy their way into unreasonably forcing things to disappear? Yes. Some day, you're going to deeply offend someone and they'll find a way to make you disappear too. Come that day, you're either going to respond just like I am now or you're going to simply allow yourself to disappear in a very unceremonious *poof*. -
AR'ing something repeatedly - when does it become spam?
Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Starchild Magic's question in Abuse and Griefing
RLV is not sex. It's a method of client side scripting control. In addition. Open Collar scripts are modular. We haven't been told what's included or what's been left out. Being an open source system, it could be anything or nothing at all. Problems: Making too many assumptions. Presuming something that is non sexual is actually sexual. Reporting something as a problem and yielding non response. Balking over said non-response in spite of possibly being wrong. Campaigning and complaining about a lack of support due to misinformed vigilantism. "I'm going to report this until it goes away because it violates MY sensibility of right and wrong." Sorry... I'm not buying it. As I've said before... She can probably start a campaign to have it removed anyway, but, in my eyes the Lindens have spoken. They chose to ignore it and/or have found nothing in violation of the TOS. Live and let live. Move on. Go about your daily life. Quit looking for evil where there is none. -

Leashing is not sex. Leashing a child AV is not a violation of the TOS/CS. You're going to need to campaign like crazy to get that to disappear. http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/3870/kidleash.jpg -

Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Starchild Magic's question in Abuse and Griefing
So... What are we talking about here, anyway? I'll make it easy with multiple choice: Little boy winkies? Dong shaped pacifiers? My Little Buttplug™? Racecar shaped sex bed? "Free Candy" rape van? Sex poseballs that cause 10-foot-tall avatrs to overlap? I'm dreadfully curious. -

Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Starchild Magic's question in Abuse and Griefing
Bloggers will find something bad to say about SL regardless of what's actually going on inworld. Being "Always fairly unballanced" places the Herald somewhere along the lines of The Enquirer and The Onion in regards to content. If they don't find something, they make it up. I have been interviewed twice by Herald staff on different occasions. Both times, they found no story and picked something else out. Anyone else who calls themselves "SL press" is no better. And, oh look... Seems as though the Herald has an article about an "SL Press" site shutting down. Funny thing, the site cited in the article is probably left unread by anyone beyond SL. -

Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Starchild Magic's question in Abuse and Griefing
What frightens me is that she's going to campaign away against this "Evil" and eventually get it removed anyway. Not because it's an actual violation. Not because it breaks any rules, guidelines, or laws. Only because whichever responding Linden would simply want the problem to go away. But, what is the problem? What is more harmful here? A little knicknack that may offend a person or two? Something that's one thing yet interpreted as another? Or a vigilante out to AR whatever they don't like until it's gone? -

Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Starchild Magic's question in Abuse and Griefing
I'll just say, if this item could be "easily interpreted" then it would have been taken care of upon the first report. That's how it has always worked for me. To further my general example; Some bloggers like to point out how "easily interpreted" I am as well... Only to support their own bias, usually based on made-up talking points in order to further an agenda. That doesn't make it true. Easy solution since you're trying to find something wrong with it: Live and let live and go somewhere else. -

Imnotgoing Sideways replied to Starchild Magic's question in Abuse and Griefing
It's spam by the second AR. AR based on TOS policy, not your own personal opinion. It will be responded to at a moment's notice. If your AR isn't being responded to... Assume you're wrong, mind your own business, and move on. The grid WILL be a better place once vigilantes stop campaigning to remove all of everything from SL. -
