    shockwave, Ll tends to see any private information liek that regardless of whether obtained in SL or not as a tos violation.  in fact posts very similar to that were taken off the jira for the same reasons recently.  Please kindly don't do it again.  you actually hurt our point when doing that.

    Well gee maddog, you seem upset that someone posted something from your facebook page here.  Thats how allot of us feel every time our profiles here are twittered out or liked to facebook.

    And its allot harder to keep things from your facebook profile and your sl profile from matching then you might think.  especially since apps will look at the ip addresses that clicked the like button compared to ip addresses that log into facebook, as well as key words on pages and facebook profiles, posts, etc to find links.

    Its very invasive and very annoying.  however i do agree the posting of that info isn't right.  and i will attempt to bring it to someone's attention.

    as long as youre logged in, you can manually enter the username of a hidden profile and access their profile.  profiles hidden in search are not completely inaccessable on the web, only inaccessable to those not logged in.  from there you can click the im option and it will bring up an im screen in world.

    format for the 2.4 and prvious profiles is http://world.secondlife.com/resident/(key)

    for example mine is http://world.secondlife.com/resident/4cb4951c-d4ad-48ad-97f0-3cc02de4c2e1

     

    Same issues there, they recently added widgets you cant remove there either. 

    AND you cant opt out of sharing without also removing from the inworld search.  at least the rl tab wasnt automatically visible like these new ones were at first.

    When you get into the real world and start looking for a professional job and wind up not being able to get one, or being fired from one after something you put up on facebook or to a page linked to facebook, then you might understand randi.  and more and more "blue collar" businesses are doing that too.

    Furthermore, if you've ever had a real stalker that likes to follow your every move then you would really not appreciate having your info shared about you without your permission.

    I was raped by a pair of men that used facebook and myspace to get information about me, pulling info off my myspace profile (which has since been deleted) and by using facebook to claim that they were middle school friends trying to reconnect.

    In my professional life I've discovered that happens far too often that even without my own experience I still wouldn't be comfortable being automatically linked in.  Maybe privacy and safety aren't important to you, but they still are to some people.

    Moving the "useless" build floater into teh sidebar was discussed at the viewer meeting and universally shot down by everyone at the meeting except one sole resident that suggested making it optional) on account that it would slow productivity of content creators who DO use that floater regularly.  In fact, theres also a big push to get the appearance editing tools for clothing, shape, and skin pushed back OUT of the sidebar so that they will be more useful and no longer limited by the constraints of the sidebar floaters.

    Ild really like web profiles much better if the twitter and facebook widgets were not forced on me. let me opt in to them if i want them or not.  AND let me hide my profile without having to get out of search.  it seems funny to me that there were over 70 votes to go off the new profiles before they went live and that only ONE of the three biggest concerns has been even responded too. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-3494

    I also find it intresting how many people have come out against the facebook look, feel and widgets.

    @ Lexxx I for one Have set up a virtual world before. nothing on the scale of SL and not alone, (but then the lidnens weren't alone either. I was one of the world designers that designed NWN worlds, GMed them, and more.  its alot of work.

    second Jack didn't help set up SL. Jack was a policy maker. His policies hurt LL and SL every step of the way.

    My own real life job i do many of the things jack does. I'm effectively a manager.  Within my department, I help set policies and enforce them.  I set deployments, choose enforcements, assign shifts, choose projects, etc. If I behaved how Jack did I would not only have been out of a job long ago, I would have been in prison myself.

    Third Jack abused his position at LL, and abused his power over residents. When he was one of the heads of Gteam he fired another linden for refusing to issue a ban he ordered jsut becuase "That person annoys me" durring the protests regarding opensim, homesteads, etc.  His autority was stripped, that Linden was asked to come back and refused becuase of Jack.  This is all documented.

    Jack pushed allot of the policies that destroyed SL businesses.  He was the one that pushed for search to start disregarding smaller sized parcels, one of the ones that pushed for the switch to marketplace and banned people for stating in forums the problems with marketplace when it was still in beta.  Problems that led to businesses of all sizes losing sales, not getting propperly paid, and in some cases being unable to make tier because they could not access hundreds of thousands of lindens that were being mysteriously "held."

    Jack was behind the Display names.  Supposedly display names were a massively requested feature by users of SL.  Well thats partially true.  But NOT how they were implemented.  What was asked for was a single new line like group titles that could be changed at will.  None of this crap that got put in place.

    Jack shoved them on us and argued user retention would skyrocket.  hmm.  Ive seen little evidence of any retnetion increase, and seen infact lots of new users creating alts as fast as possible using the third party portals that still have lastname choices so as to lose the perminate "noob" lable that the single name tags them with.

    Jack is also one of the ones responsible for bringing kids to the main grid.  Which may or may not be a bad thing in and of itself, but when Jack is one of the lindens pushing to make it impossible to distinguish teen from adult that IS a bad thing.

    I am one of the residents that petitioned YEARS ago to have Jack fired.  As for why you see much more positive then negative feedback, well part of that is just that many people (like I orriginally did) would rather just say farewell then drag up the stuff Jack did.  Others had their posts deleted.

    But the fact is whether Jack was fired or leaving voluntarily, its three years too late, and the damage he did cannot be undone.

    I wish I could say sorry to see you go Jack. but I jsut can't. Not after all the times you misused your authroity, all the bad policies you are personally responisble for, for all the peopel you endangered with your half-assed implimentations, and backward policies.

    I will wish you good luck Jack. I jsut hope your replacement is a hell of a lot smarter and more ethical.
