  1. Interesting question; this is the only official invitation for Residents that I have seen in the forums but it isn't a call to decorate regions. I'm not in the citizens group so I'm not sure if anything went out in that way; hopefully others have more to offer. Personally, I would have thought Region Decoration would be a Mole enterprise.
  2. I'm talking about that too; it's its own kind of violence.
  3. I think Adult content is not the problem, really; and the Content Guidelines allow for it. There is a subculture of particular forms of violence, however, that needs addressing, is all.
  4. The thing that I like about Brad's statement addresses a comprehensive review of Content Guidelines, especially; and that is something that would (if done with a stern rigour) would cut right through the "culture" in question. Though, it is one thing to review and explicate in a document what is permissible; it is another thing altogether to make sure that the content stays out of SL. If that were possible, though, the "culture" in question would sustain a big hit and that would move things forward considerably.
  5. My take on this aspect of the statement is that, while not germane to the explosive article, it is very relevant to what has been reported over and over again when seen in SL, as I personally can attest to. I've seen and reported some hard, awful things* that definitely warrant this kind of intervention. So I'm really glad he raised it.
  6. This wouldn't be such an issue if we had a fair shot even when we used the land page, to get the house that we want. We have five attempts per day to get the one house we want; and what comes up is - more often than not - the same house over and over again, that is not the one we want. If there were a fair variety of houses on the selection page, it would mitigate the sting somewhat. But since the release, I have been trying every day to get even one of a half dozen specific homes; and I watch as they one by one get claimed while I keep getting the same house. The Concierge Support for Premium Plus members was supposed to address this problem. But that was suspended until January 8 for this theme, according to Patch. So, day after day, I keep trying. Same house. Same two or three houses. Meanwhile others are actually submitting tickets for the houses they want and are having those tickets fulfilled. And it's only December 28. Just to be perfectly clear about the problem as I see it. It isn't a refund that I am looking for; it would just be really nice to know why I'm paying extra for a service that "feels" broken to me right now. I guess I will file a ticket.
  7. Quietly letting them go through is the effect indeed. My preference would be that it's a mistake. Not that everybody will lose their homes, but just an admission of a mistake to those of us who waited patiently while our Mediterranean ticketing benefits were suspended until January 8 while others were ticketing away and receiving their full concierge benefits immediately.
  8. I know because there are homes that are ticketed and directly assigned to Residents in the Mediterranean theme; I can't name names in the forum but it is happening. I would like to know why the policy was reversed. To clarify, I was hoping someone in this forum knew more than I did about what was happening and why I missed out on this.
  9. Why are Mediterranean homes being ticketed and assigned before the January 8 date that Patch directed when these were released?
  10. To address the befuddlement, I'd like to offer my own experience in the selection process for the new theme: on my first roll on the first day, I got a gorgeous house in a gorgeous location (they're all gorgeous of course); but it wasn't the one that I wanted. The specific one that I wanted is now occupied by someone else who got to it before I could luck out in the selection process. Now my wait-until-Jan-8 will be more like a wait-until-2025-maybe (or sooner, who knows -- but nobody knows). So it's not about "waiting a couple of weeks for something they really want." Possibly it's waiting a really, really long time, longer than others who got what they really want immediately. It is of course understandable why we have to wait (Lindens and Moles, big love to you all); but it shouldn't be baffling as to why people are upset about having to wait and then making financial adjustments accordingly. I say this not as someone disgruntled; fortunately I'm really happy with what I have. But, just to help explain the big feelings some people are having right now and to say it's not out of the realm of logic that these feelings might erupt.
  11. I think it means Saffron in Arabic, but my Arabic is rusty. In Spanish, Saffron would be Azafrรกn. There is a similarity.
  12. I had been hoping against hope for Mirandela but instead I ended up in Cala Pescadora on my first roll; which was never on my radar but which ticks all my Mediterranean boxes perfectly. The content pack is pretty nice too; lots of potted flowers and the good doors. A dedicated wall / fence pack.
  13. I'm using Finca's tree this year, 13Li, the twinkles are gentle and easy on the eyes.
