Dogboat Taurog

without which nobody would join...

LL cant chase them, not even the same part of the world. LL are powerless and people are getting ripped. i look forward to the next epic fail by LL. THRUSH 1 / USA 0 (for those Bond affectionados). :smileywink: may as well laugh about it eh?

he posted 30 minutes ago and his posts are still here. the mods just can't handle it and the spammer doesnt care, its about money dude, not temper. its not a war. its cold hard cash.

then its an ideal time with some members being awarded helper tags etc. meanwhile im sure gullible SL members still fall for this and SL aren't stopping it effectively.

its evidently worth his time. and thats the psychology, he will do it until its not worth it anymore. seems it still is. it only takes a maggot to catch a fish...

i have an idea, how about the posters with certain ratings police this type of spam on the forums as the mods duty times are too predictable. of course, there will be no abuse of the system (one would hope).

if only it were that simple. it costs nothing to spam. spammers 1 / SL 0 / gullible SL members - US$ a clear winner folks, they are the borg....

I'm the first one to complain about the decline of LL's customer service, but I can fully understand that they reserve it for paying customers. i don't pay to be here and never will, however, i contribute more than the membership fee back in to LL each and every month. i had a problem a while ago with something i lost whilst rezzing, i was told i could not get help without being a fully paid member of the muggins club. well LL, its your system at fault, no other business would act in this way.

There was no truth to your comment, as far as I can see. A lot of things "suck" according to you. Maybe you're right, but there's no way to prove you are telling the truth. Don't even bother. Alt=:smileywink: an opinion is my truth, my truth is inviolate. you should read the rest of the thread, you seem to have a convienient way of bolstering and snipping to suit your agenda. its a teen thing i suppose and you will grow up one day (i assume).

Are you talking about teens using registered teen accounts, or teens using anonymous free accounts? As long as you've marked your groups as mature, you shouldn't be concerned (legally). The ball is in LL's and the teens parents to moderate their access. If you're morally concerned, then you have a problem. You should have a problem with the internet as a whole... Alt=:smileywink: a parent may assume her child is in a safe environment, ie Teen SL which on the face of it appears to be an virtual world your grandmother would not be offended by. its not the case however, we should be more morally concerned or we may as well not care about anything anymore. i dont have a problem with the internet, i do however have a problem with false flags.

Do you need to condescend first? Alt=:smileywink: standing up for your peers is laudable but you are not grasping the full importance of teens in + 18 groups. even some video games are rated +18, this is done for a reason and its the same reason that LL only allow teens on PG land.

yes to both counts. i dont like them here but that doesn't mean i cant be concerned about them. i dont see a problem there. with all due respect, there is a bigger picture here which i don't think you are fully comprehending.

Ackley Bing wrote: Dogboat Taurog wrote: i would however like to see teens not being able to access over 18 groups. There has been a group of people going around pretending to be teens, trying to instigate scenes they can report and to document these to base their propaganda. I think this behavior is more offensive than teens who allegedly circumvent the system to access adult content. Alt=:smileywink: i don't find teens who circumvent the system offensive, i think its dangerous for their well being. this is why teens are restricted to PG land. teens will be teens to coin a phrase.

Ackley Bing wrote: Dogboat Taurog wrote: my point is that you are giving out false info. False info! LOL! There are only groups and mature groups. Many mature groups contain adult content. So far, LL has not implemented anything classified as an Adult group. Your point is not that i'm giving out false info. Your point is that teens are allegedly accessing things that they should not, which was the OPs point. It's probably true, but the responsibility lies with the parents, not the content creators, publishers, or distributors. LL has done it's part by restricting registered teens from access to moderate groups. I think people like you might find satisfaction when no one can access anything but PG unless they are premium users and verified as adult. Then the world will be a stark contrast of G vs. XXX. Alt=:smileywink: i disagree, you asked me why my point was and then you tell me my reply was wrong. i would however like to see teens not being able to access over 18 groups. children are simply not mature enough for some concepts as you have adequately demonstrated.

couldnt 2 types be available? a bit more work for the designers but it could be worth doing. i bought some boots for around 400$, ok not a fortune, but part of them vanished one day. they were no copy. useless now. so perhaps 1 type copy/mod, the other mod/trans if thats possible. Example Applications You want to sell some clothing that someone can alter, copy into new outfits, but never sell: [X] next owner modify [X] next owner copy [ ] next owner transfer You want to sell someone a single motorcycle that they can change the shape and color, but cannot examine or modify the script:bike: [X] next owner modify [ ] next owner copy [X] next owner transfer scripts: [ ] next owner modify [ ] next owner copy [X] next owner transfer You want to sell someone a texture that they can use to wallpaper their entire house, but they can never sell the texture or anything textured with it? [X] next owner modify [X] next owner copy [ ] next owner transfer You want to give someone a whole bunch of useful stuff with some comments explaining everything. Put it all in a note card! [X] next owner modify [X] next owner copy [X] next owner transfer You want to build a fortress for with your group, which will continue to evolve to meet group needs after it has been deeded. [X] share with group [X] next owner modify [X] next owner copy You have built a statue that will be deeded to your group, but you do not ever want it to be altered or incorporated into other group projects. [X] share with group [ ] next owner modify [ ] next owner copy [X] next owner transfer

if you were asked by name to say what you thought then i apologise for my lapse of my memory. however, i would ask you to provide proof of this. if none is forthcoming i will have to claim victory , although it would be hollow one judging by your wit, intellegence and simple refusal to accept what is true.

my point is that you are giving out false info. i said adult groups to encompass the other mature groups which may deal with more perverse behaviour. looking at your previous post your message clearly said teens could not access mature (ie over 18 groups) imagine what could happen if said teen joined an "adult group" think adult movies for example, they are not the same as movies for adults.

Are rl teens allowed to use child avatars? Are rl teens allowed to participate in mature or adult groups? I am asking because I have seen people who claim to be rl teens (and certainly seem to be rl teens) doing all of these things in sl. I am also asking because on a few mature lands I frequent, sim owners claim that Linden Labs allowed teens on the main grid because they wanted them to be able to access all the fun stuff on mature lands. Can someone give me some more (hopefully valid) information? What should I do if I see rl teens on mature land that have adult groups (such as gor, bdsm) in their profiles? Teens are not allowed on "moderate" or adult lands as far as I know. Same goes for groups. There's no age limit on who can use a child avatar. What do you do? File an abuse report if it's that important to you. unfortunately teens can join mature or adult groups, i suggest you read the posts above yours...

How are you saying... Alt=:smileywink: you sound immature, so i conclude that you are a teen. i was asked what i thought, do you understand? That's easy to answer: Hardly anyone cares what you think, especially the teens. Alt=:smileyvery-happy: its mutual. although i was asked what i thought, i don't recall anyone asking you.

i will repeat, i was asked what i didnt like. a valid question was asked and a valid answer was given, whether you agree with it or not, my answer is inviolate. and where did i mention pitbull fighting? and why did you imply that i had? you teens eh...

Vocaloid wrote: From the recent merge it is known that teens now exsist in G/PG rated areas. I had the unfortunate experience of encountering a adult-material avatar standing in a McDonalds suit inside of Ahern. The avatar clearly had a A-rated piece on in the form of a male reproductive gentelia that was clearly in view that anyone could see. Upon confronting the nudity i received verbal harassment from the avatar, and dialouge that clearly decipated that the avatar had no interest in abiding to the "no nudity" policy governing all G/PG related areas, particularly in a teen-friendly area. The fact that teens come to ahern to play and talk on SL can still see material like this is disturbing. The reason why the TOS exsist and is not some meaningless rule is to protect youth from having or seeing acess to content that they should not see or have acess to to began with. There were some boder-line avatars before but this is the first time i witnessed an avatar arrogantly stood in ahern with their "junk" in broad-view then tried to briddle me about paying them "lindens" for their own disruptive and poor conduct. I hope Ahern continues to be G/PG friendly as possible to all adults, child avies, and teens alike. did you really expect anything else from the teens? did you expect this type of exhibitionist behaviour would lessen? did you expect more maturity in SL?

i wasnt demonising the Lindens, however i was asked what i didnt like about this new SL compared to the one i joined 4 years ago. i was honest and said what i thought. i didnt expect to get ad hominem insults about it. i have cut back on a lot of expenses here such as land rental. i will be cutting back again soon as SL isnt what i bought into when i joined. im sure im not the only one to think this way. business needs a consistant playing field and LL havent provided it.
