Except that the bit quoted further up states otherwise - a bit Theresa quoted while going round and round, pretending not to understand what was being said. Either these policies are part of the ToS - in any form - or they aren't. If they are not, the quoted bit is meaningless and without any truly official weight outside of how the Lindens have chosen to proceed. Now to that end, neither is wholly right and neither is wholly wrong. Why do I say this? The Terms of Service actually links back to the various Policies without directly incorporating them verbatim and does list them as being for Mainland. So: The policies are indeed only for Mainland but are also part of the Terms of Service, separated categorically. So I partially retract my earlier statements and apologize only for dragging that out as long as it was. The fact remains that the new continent is more a revamp of the Linden Homes project than it is a part of the Mainland. The fact remains that it has a Covenant specifically to outline the further restrictions Linden Lab has placed upon it. The fact remains that said Covenant should not be incorporated into the ToS, CS or any similar document. You can see exactly what I was getting at, above with animats more recent posts. ETA: And with that, honestly I'm done - with more than just the "argument".

Speak of the devil and he shall appear....

"The Mainland Policies are incorporated into Second Life’s Terms of Service. A violation of these Mainland Policies, therefore, is a violation of our Terms of Service, which may lead to termination of your account without further obligation on our part. " If such is the case then the policies are global. Period. Anyone care to go through the Terms of Service to see if said Policies are framed in the Terms of Service as applying only to Mainland? If such is the case there, then I'll retract my statements.

That "document" spells out the meaning behind existing policies, as made very apparent by the very bit you yourself quoted further up thread. It also makes it clear that said policies are part of the Terms of Service, which affects Mainland and Private Islands alike. These are thus, not additional restrictions. Again, you can stop now. It's quite obvious you've not been tracking along with what has been said. It's also quite obvious that continuing further is pointless. Believe you're correct if that is what you wish.

You can stop being willfully obtuse any time.

That .... takes a bit of doing. Some can get them to work using built in options in the client/viewer ... some find they don't. (Same optons for using a 3D mouse, by the by). I did use a joystick for some things once - I used software called Joy2Key to do so.

Those regulations apply everywhere - not just Mainland. The lack of a Covenant means there are no extra restrictions. Which is - again - the point. A point that is not all that hard to grasp. At all.

Why yes, yes I did. Did you properly read my response? Rhetorical question - no, you did not. Here it is again: Is there some part of that, that confuses you?

Nearly all of that information is contained inside the Terms of Service and the Community Standards - documents which affect the entire service and are a baseline. A policy on a Wiki does not meant very much and exists as clarification and a variant of FAQ. So again, the vast majority has no Covenant.

And because you "keep coming up with" anything at all, you're reading into what is being written and thus making your response rather meaningless as a result - you're not responding to what was written but to what you imagine it means. Mainland being connected is irrelevant: The vast majority has no Covenant and thus affords those on it quite a bit of freedom. That is the entire point of it. If you want something more restrictive, you make a community. You then have said community either purchase up all of the land in an existing region or go off and make their own Estate.

Did you read the post? Properly read it? I'm going to guess not, since you're actually being serious here or so it seems. The popularity of the project is meaningless to my statement as it the existence of a vehicle using demographic (after all, if it didn't exist, why cater to it?) - the message sent by that catering combined with the continent placement is the pertinent bit there. This new continent is essentially Linden Homes 2.0. it is not Mainland. Have the Lindens tried their hand at a covenant restricted community before? Yes, they have. Some with better results than others, all part of the Mainland and some giving the wrong impression of what to expect elsewhere. That is the key bit there. Is what they're doing covenant wise for this new continent a good idea? Possibly. Connecting Linden Homes 2.0 to Mainland? No. Mainland, taken as a whole, does not have the restrictions placed upon it that this new continent does. Those who have been around Second Life for a while will understand this discrepancy. Those who haven't ... simply won't. Up until now, Linden Lab has left it up to the user base to create varied communities around their interests, be it on Mainland or elsewhere. That is how Blake Sea came to be after all. For Mainland, that is how it should remain. Mind, I am well aware that my opinion on the matter is rather unpopular - it is what it is.

It's not a major thing. It's a piece of hardware the Lindens decided might add to the appeal of Second Life for content creators. Traditional Mouse causing you hand/wrist issues? Get a vertical mouse. Not a SpaceNavigator, a vertical mouse. Like the above.

Try again, on all fronts. Start by reading what was said, then asking questions since you've obviously read your own take into what was written.

Which was a mistake, plain and simple. Now there is a user demographic that will likely expect the same acquiescence in future projects and which has already suggested it be retroactively applied to all Mainland. This despite the current project essentially begin a revamping of the Linden Homes project. They even made the mistake of connecting the new LH continent to two Mainland areas, further giving the wrong impression and in more than one way. They get no Kudos for that. They do get Kudos for updating the original Linden Homes program and partially doing away with the issue of being stuck with a singular house form within the categories offered (they did say more than the current crop are planned after all).

I'll try to be polite with this: When you're going to do work on your core systems (routers included) shut down the bloody network - any user that wants to complain about it can sod right off. There was no need to apologize. Explain what went wrong, take steps to try and avoid it, move on.

Oh for ... If it wasn't removed after someone reported it (a waste of an Abuse Report to be blunt) then guess what? There's no reason at all to complain about it nor alter it. Move on and get on with your Second Life.

You could wait until the currently scheduled network maintenance is done before assuming you've got a problem - for starters.

Ahem ... Male and I have spent a fair deal on several different avatar forms in varied ways. thank you very much. Then again, I have a very distinct Femboy side that I occasionally indulge when logged in (see the link to my Snapzilla in my signature for an example) so perhaps that skews things a bit... Or perhaps the notion that there are real indicators is ... bunk.

Not to mention that the option to sell passes is almost universally hated within Second Life. There were/are very few places that actually use(d) the option to do so and for bloody good reason. A Toll Way was never one of them.

That's it precisely.

Yes, you can.

That's nice. Your opinion of me is irrelevant to the thread. Don't like my responses/reading my posts? There's an Ignore feature. Use it.

Again, there's this thing called "reality" that doesn't care about your feelings or about your whinging. You asked. You got answers. Your personal opinions concerning those who disagree with you (or anyone else) are irrelevant to this thread. they were irrelevant to your prior threads - all of which were "making suggestions" - and will be irrelevant to any future thread of such nature. If they'd wanted a Suggestion area outside of the JIRA, one would have been made.

It has nothing to do with complaining, moaning, negativity or any other thing you've used as a descriptor. There's this thing called "reality" in play. As noted above, the reality is that not everyone knows about or uses the forum. Nor should they. You've had the existing options explained. As usual, that's not enough and those countering your idea are "just being negative" ... Typical.
