    Peeve: That there aren't more Lindens like him on staff.

    Peeve: That we have to harass specific Lindens and risk actions against our own accounts in order to get them to actually enforce their own rules. That they don't have some of us blocked is actually amazing.

    They usually aren't.

    I may have to take back some of the things I said about LL, then. Nice to know we've got capable people looking at it and you're actually finding things. I'm still blown away that it's taken 20 years and volunteer third party devs though. Without having read all of the other thread, how likely are we to see a reconnect option?

    I can't possibly see someone reading a post and then going in world to take action! Nope, that's not something I'd worry about at all! Oh. Are we having a competition?

    There were a couple early on, but they were removed pretty quickly.

    They convince their customers to give them money on something that doesn't work (at best, in some cases does much worse). That's pretty textbook manipulation.

    This should only affect people that both have it enabled and use older viewers, yeah.

    I imagine creators that seriously sell things like I mentioned in my first post wouldn't spend much time on the forums for fear of heckling or worse.

    I've got a premium account and paid for a last name even though I had a perfectly serviceable one, and I pay extra for mainland to a company I badmouth all the time. They've got me hooked. The only thing I can say to that is that I think I'll take the advice that @Quartz Mole gave me and start reporting people that attempt to get my threads locked, just because they can't handle a smiley face avatar, apparently.

    That explains why a bunch of my servers started emailing me with errors last night.

    How dare you insinuate such a thing. The very thought is offensive!

    It's SL, things are always getting poked with... Oh, you said sticks.
  15. Paul Hexem
    I was recently thinking about how easily people are manipulated and if there are SL specific examples. What are some ways you see people in SL easily manipulated? Products that people buy like security systems or inspection protection? Parcel or region bans for dubious reasons? Let's hear your examples!

    Just pointing it out, again, is all.
  17. Paul Hexem
    You ask that as if they haven't been successfully sued several times for their business decisions.

    We've learned now that if we see a thread we don't like we can just spam in it and the mods will lock it. I'm sure if I spammed here the thread will be locked instead of my posts deleted. Right?

    Just trying to keep us on topic is a full time job. You know that.

    You and I must have read those posts very differently. I was actually unaware of who first coined it, those were interesting reads. Either way, I still stand by my point- I think there are better words to describe problematic people that are far less easy to misinterpret, and that using it takes away from a discussion.
  21. Paul Hexem
    This part is absolutely false, something I've seen with my own eyes. But, my issue is specifically with propagating the term at all, and comes back to the core of the thread, in some ways. Here's a thread talking about one of the issues men face and in comes people slinging the word around. A word that @Luna Bliss has pointed out is specifically for judging men harshly that are having issues. Don't come into a thread about men struggling to find partners, use the word, and then act shocked when you're called out for using the word.
  22. Paul Hexem
    Incel literally stands for "involuntarily celibate", right? How is that not "men who have problems finding a partner"?
  23. Paul Hexem
    I'm not sure what you're asking here. I'm just reacting to what people are typing into this thread, is all.
  24. Paul Hexem
    Even in the case of your first example, it hasn't been used sympathetically in this thread at all.
  25. Paul Hexem
    You know, I've never been particularly empathetic, but it's always struck me as odd how this word always seems to come up whenever anyone says anything even remotely on the topic of "men's issues with women". Particularly that it's used insultingly rather than sympathetically; We're insulting men for their lack of sexual partners because they're behaving desperate for sexual partners... I wonder if insulting them for failing contributes to their desperation?
