NEW COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES SET THE STAGE FOR CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE We've updated our guidelines about community participation and they're largely the same, just clarified and streamlined for easy reference. The purpose of these new guidelines is to keep the conversations constructive, courteous, respectful, and in the spirit of collaboration so that we can have more thoughtful and effective discussions. The new Community Participation Guidelines outline the ground rules, in addition to our Terms of Service, for all Resident and Linden communications on the blogs, forums, bug tracker (JIRA), SL Answers, User Groups, and the Knowledge Base. I want to know if forum and blog posts that are critical of Linden Lab and Linden Lab policies are now going to begin to earn in-world bans.

I hope this show won't be anything like the "Life 2.0" documentary, those of you who have seen that will know what I mean. It was aired at the SLCC convention last year. That film was not flattering to SL. Has anyone seen a preview of "When Strangers Click" ? Be prepared for disappointment, documentary film-makers tend to play up the negative, controversial aspects of their topic. I haven't seen his film "FOOD, inc." but am looking at the trailer now and I can see that Robert Kenner is a propagandist, so don't expect a fair and balanced portrayal of SL from this director. Sorry for being cynical ... and I know I should not pre-judge something I have not even seen .. but after my disappointment with "Life 2.0" I am wary of any documentary about SL. Sounds to me like your judgement is keen and accurate, since the hype bubble popped most portrayals of SL tend to be along the lines you described. Sopiliia's comment in this very thread reflects how ingrained the negative image of SL is. I share your reservations -for the same reasons.

HBO has no meaning to me at all I know I could look it up but I would rather be able to read the blog posts right away Well played, Dora, well played indeed. @Paisley, obviously I haven't seen it, but what I'm reacting is the fact it appears to be a glurgy hallmark lifetime-ish saccherine fest. I'd love to be wrong -in fact I hope I am. SL could use some good exposure for a change!

It's good to see SL in the media for all the wrong reasons again. Too bad it's for some glurgy saccherine valentines vomitfest.
