From the press conference on the Japanese TV link above, it seems now not to be to bad so keep everything crossed that things are OK ish and no one was killed. They said the Tsunami wasn't bad only centimeteres tall but the alert is still standing for now. I imagine we won't know to much more until day break in Japan.

LOL Ah well .. maybe the OP won't mind too much. *wink* LOL so true and anyway back on topic, I am impressed at the spam is gone now reasonably fast as well I do hope that ll are serious about it, but I have learnt over the years not to get to excited about stuff with them though but as I have a bit of time off inbetween consies chores for me I will keep an eye and join in a bit lol

Darrius Gothly wrote: Attention Lord Sullivan: It has come to our attention that your new PC may violate certain of our security and performance guidelines and therefore must be submitted to our testing labs for in-depth evaluation before it can be used to access Second Life. Please forward said computer to our designated testing agent immediately upon its arrival. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, however we do not expect the evaluation to last more than perhaps 2-3 years. Cordially, LyingMyButtOff Linden PS: Our records indicate the designated testing agent is Darrius Gothly. He will contact you directly with instructions for shipping the computer to him for the required tests. OK no problems LMAO For that infarction I will submit screenshots and speedtest results and also new PC specs for you to drool over but I am only spending about 1000 euros 1500 dollars on the PC, what would you recomend for a decent flatscreen LCD monitor and maybe i should go for a dual monitor setup, what do you think LOL

There's still limits of course, but they've stopped the draconian practice of yanking the basic "Ranting at LL" posts. It honestly has gotten better. Now, if they'd just give us a private "Adults Only, No Mods" Forum ... oooh boy .. THEN we can have us some FUN!

Dogboat Taurog wrote: 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. Yep in the same way the pill spammers send out hundreds of thousands of emails a day for maybe just one or 2 bites and at least this spammer its just pure profit as they don't deliver anything and ll never chase them so its a win win for the spammer as ll allows the fraud to continue with no comeback to the perp. Just my opinion though

Each adjustment is not as easy as some would think. Each "pattern" that he burns is one more he cannot use again. Not to mention that if he chooses a new "pattern", there's the chance it will be immediately blocked by the spam filters the techs have already put in place. Also remember that with image spam, he gets less and less "weight" in Google AND their anti-spam algorithms spot and downrank or remove repetitious forum posts like he uses. I may be wrong, but based on my past experience with spammers like this .. what we're seeing is the end-stage temper tantrum. (Which btw is also self-defeating as it absolutely triggers both the anti-spam detection in search engines AND the self-protection instinct that most netizens develop.) Will he go away and stop his criminal activities? Oh heck no. But he works on the knowledge that new sites spring up all the time, and each one is "fresh soil" for him to plant his weeds in. This field though ... the soil is about played out and he's not reaping the crop he had at the beginning. *shrugs* Time will tell. I do hope that you are right, though tbh I spend less time here now than ever before, I can't be bothered with all this rating crap and seemingly heavy handed mds and I am not going to risk my account to have a discussion here to find out I have upset a mod and been suspended especially after dear old kat linden suspended me and a few others for a bad reason a few years ago, though I did get an apology I doubt that would happen nowadays with this new only say nice things about ll lithium software lol Anyways summer is on its way so RL is suddenly so much more important, but I do lurk a bit when I have time

Now .. wanna hear the good news? This is the phase known as "Thrashing". His attacks are failing, his income from naive and gullible SL Residents is dropping to nothing, and the Mods are thwarting him daily. He's panicking. So grit your teeth, this phase won't last much longer .. then he will move along and find someone else to "grief".

Perhaps you need to check that you are indeed using the correct addresss - https://marketplace.secondlife.com. Unless there is some other 'New Marketplace', I think you may be at a spoof site. Hope this helps. I get the following message on FF4 when going to the correct address as you put in your post.

  18. Good Luck Jack and wishing you great new year. Take care
  19. Soon be able to login to SL with your FB details perhaps, look at the new web based browser. Interesting read at infoworld and thanks for the heads up
  20. As a RL oldie with Grand kids I say welcome and hope that you enjoy the oppertunities that the MG will offer you as well as an outlet for the creative stuff that I am sure a lot of you make. Lets hope that you all find enjoyment here ETA: I also agree with Arwyn, about time you did some outreach as well to the teens as I am sure many of them are as worried about coming here as some adults are about them coming to the MG. LL you must do better to pave the way and the transition for all parties.
