I need an English Speaking DJ....etc Hi Walter, giving you some info. 1) I'd suggest listing an amount that you're willing to pay. Do you mean 500 $L or 5000 $L? Be specific, and also willing to negotiate. 2) Give a genre of music that you're wanting, or at least some indication of type of music. DJ's that specialize in Blues, Jazz, R & B, or Soul might not be interested in doing a gig that requires Heavy Metal or Acid Punk so give the prospective DJ an idea of what to expect. 3) Give a time that your party ends. If the party starts at 1 pm SLT, are you wanting one or two hours of music? Most DJs do a two hour set, but for the right price would be willing to do one hour, or more than two. 4) It can take upward of 30 songs to fill a two hour music set, so if you're wanting particular type of music, be aware that a DJ will spend at least one to two hours doing preparation for the music set. (that's before the actual DJ gig!) 5) Give other info. Is this in an adult area, PG, etc. Is it a themed party or birthday party, etc. 6) Most good DJ's are booked regularly and have gigs. Doing an audition for a one-off party, isn't out of the question, but most good professional DJs won't jump at that. 7) I'll pass the name of a DJ inworld that might be interested. 8) I'm already booked this Sunday.....so it won't be me. ; )

Please you need to remove that. The first posting was deleted because mentioning the source. (3rd party links) No joke. This is already the 2nd posting, intentionally without linking the source to keep it alive. 3rd party links are against the rules? Hmm, I just looked at Linden Lab Official:Community Participation Guidelines, and don't see that. There is this : "Do not reference other websites offering any product or service. " Under the Spamming, Solicitation and Advertising section. But, the website I linked to doesn't offer any product or service. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Community_Participation_Guidelines Is there a specific rule saying "no 3rd party links?"

Charlot Huet wrote: I know I am going to get hated for this post A little dramatic there aren't you? In the adult world we learn how to disagree, without assuming that our legitimate, but differing opinion, will cause emotional reactions. Try it some time. The only thing that matters is whether the OP was harrassed and threatened. If that part is true, then the advice given by several people in this thread is good. If, the OP's post is also part of some RP, then the advice still stands as useful, as a big part of the SL forum is that it's a place to learn.

Send copies of all the conversations you had with him. File several abuse reports. It's against the TOS to threaten and harass other people like he's doing. Nothing will happen to you, if your story is as you say, as you've not done anything wrong. Also, first look back through your chat and IM logs to get copies of all the conversations where he threatened and harassed you. Copy them to a notecard, and also to your hard drive. (on a Word Doc or something) Then MUTE the guy.

Tiara Montale wrote: Y'all better be right. They'd probably have a class action lawsuit on their hands if they DID try to shut the game down. Nope. The Terms of Service covers it, and says that they can shut down anytime. People agree to that TOS when they enter SL. Also, I've been seeing the "sky is falling....and SL closing" hype for going on seven years now.....*tick tock, tick tock*...

The outcome of a gatcha . . . is pure chance, by the policy no gatcha game legal as your outcome is wholy by chance. If at any time LL decides to get rid of gatchas they can use this policy to do so. Oh, good grief. You quote....but you don't comprehend. Yes, gatcha is a "chance" game....and not a Skill Game. Therefore, it doesn't fall under the rules of the Skill Game policy. That doesn't mean that it's not allowed in SL. It just means that it isn't part of any "skilled" game policy, and isn't going to be in a skilled game area.

This is what LL says: Why can’t I access a Skill Gaming Region? There are a number of reasons you may not be able to access a Skill Gaming Region, including: Your jurisdiction may not be permitted by Linden Lab for this activity. If you are in a permitted jurisdiction for this activity, you may not meet its requirements.

Using the SLURL (link) that Phil provided gave me a LM that said: "Information about this location is unavailable at this time, please try again later." But, I went ahead and pulled the sim up on the big map. Clicked and TP'd right in. I'm on Singularity viewer.

IM junk mail of SL There's no way to block a conference call. It's a person IMing, or "conferencing", with up to 20 people on their friend's list. If someone is doing that, just delete them from your friend's list. (Or, if you want to keep them on your list, maybe send them an IM saying to not add you to any furture "conference calls".

I still wear the jewelry he made that I own and always get compliments on it. You can google him to see pictures of some of his creations. Back in 2008, I was given some Random Calliope jewerly by Tayzia Abattoir, and I still wear it! : ) There are other creators too, that people in SL collect.

Suzanne Piers wrote: Yes I did all of the above. And I agree with you. I didn't get the feeling this was a garden variety griefer. I think he is a criminal. Unfortunately he didn't issue anything except vague threats. Perhaps I should have continued to communicate until he told me what his demands were -- money, sex, whatever -- in exchange for not showing Frtitz the "pictures" and then reported him. My fault, for multi-tasking while also reading your post! *laughs* I thought you said that the person had tried to extort money from you. IF NO mention of money or other actual extortion or blackmail occurred, then Perrie is correct! Mute and move on. (Upon re-reading your orginal post, the person may have been doing something to get you to talk about sex...which is not uncommon. A fast mute solves it) Suzanne Piers wrote: RL Law enforcement won't take my copy of the transcript of our conversation seriously, since I could easily make somethng like that up. Is it possible to get an official transcript from LL? Or is that something that has to come from a request from law enforcement? Rhetorical questions... of course. I will contact them and see if they even want to talk with me about it. Thanks for the help! Well, if no actual threat occurred (you said none did?) then not sure you have anything to present to law enforcement. The possibility that someone might be trying to do a crime is not sufficient. Our criminal system is evidence based. As for a transcript, you can get that by this path: (read the thread for "how to") http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Everything-Else/How-can-I-find-IM-history/qaq-p/1339269 (I'm on Singularity, and have a "Log" option in my IM window that pulls up the log (same for local chat too) Depending upon what viewer you have, there may be something similar that makes it easy to find your IM logs)

Perrie Juran wrote: And yes technically if he demanded something of value to not 'show' the pictures it would be extortion. But doing anything about that would be an exercise in futility. I disagree. It's only when people act to try and stop these types of criminal acts that it will cease. To do nothing, is not an option. (for me) Perrie Juran wrote: As a rule the biggest mistake people make with Griefers is to continue to communicate/fight with them. That is what they live for. This isn't your garden variety griefer, this was someone trying to extort money from others, through blackmail. The biggest mistake is to ignore and expect it to go away. That's what they live for. The people who do nothing to stop it.

1) First report to LL (which you did) 2) Mute the person. Also, ban from any land you have. 3) If you wish to let RL law enforcement know about this, you can report to the IC3 branch of the FBI. They handle internet fraud, extortion, and scams: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx Also, info: http://www.fbi.gov/news/news_blog/online-dating-extortion-and-other-scams Yes, I consider extortion a serious issue. It will continue unless people actively work to stop it.

Amethyst, got it right. Clearing cache usually solves this problem. Here's instructions: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear (Don't worry about which viewer you're using, as the process to clear cache is the same for all)

Aeerian wrote: I've been trying relentlessly to find active NON-ROLEPLAY groups for hanging out (sO NO METERS, NO PEOPLE USING 10 ALTS ALL OVER THE SIM) - preferably with a medieval or fantasy theme. I've found a few elf circles, but not active. The only active one in Elven Forest I find is a bit too crude for me. I'd really like to meet a group of loyal and trustworthy people who are not all about having sex with each other or entertaining themselves with lewd jokes. Are there even groups like this in SL? Can be spiritual, fantasy creatures, elves, fae, pirates, medieval..a clan, a guild, a brotherhood...anything! Hello Aeerian, your post is a bit confusing to me. You state that you're looking for NON-ROLEPLAY groups, then you add that you prefer "medieval or fantasy", which is roleplay. Also, you list these, "spiritual, fantasy creatures, elves, fae, pirates, medieval..a clan, a guild", which are all roleplay type groups. It sounds like you are looking for "roleplay" groups, but not the type that you've already found. I suggest checking out some of the Steampunk communities, as they're very good, and don't focus on "sex" or crude behavior. Since they're somewhat modeled upon Victorian society, politeness and manners factor into most social settings.
