    Some of you posters and you know who are  must think you own this forum and discount what anyone says if it does not fit your agenda like I said its suggestion, and I really don't give a rats behind what your anti feelings are about my suggestion  all I know is this and that's SL is losing members and many I speak to feel  SL is becoming stale, hence the suggestions title.

    A suggestion box that's easy to find and post here is a good idea and the reason I mention it is that SL needs new life and members are the best thing to gauge what might be needed to bring fresh input to SL

    Good grief Charlie Brown. There already is a suggestion box. It's called a Jira. And it gets looked at daily by Linden employees, unlike the forums.

    Go ahead. Do your suggestion box. Create a thread for it in GD. Then sit back and count the years until LL finally gets around to doing any of them. We asked for mesh. We got sculpts. How many years later did we finally get mesh? Yeah. That isn't going to change anymore than the "we don't get involved in resident disputes" is ever going to change.

    I'm just to curious to see whatever goes on to actually block someone. Never blocked one on the forums or SL yet (except some scam item send accounts).

    Do you just see like [blocked]  wherever that person posts? Or just not show up entirely at all anymore, leaving gaps in topics?

    Like I said its a suggestion, and I personally think its a good Idea, no one has come with a good enough reason not have it  here or even not have one,  everyone, knows and comes to the SL forums, as this is the place of topics and debates and " ideas"happen not on Jira

    No, not everyone comes to the forum. Many don't even know it exists. There is no need for a suggestion "box" since LL already uses the Jira for that purpose as well as reporting bugs. Besides, a suggestion box is just another File 13.

    What is a File 13? The trash can.

    In general though, I think at this point in time most are able to create and view JIRA's that are in a public state, based on myself being able to click on JIRA links that get posted in the forums, sign in, and see the JIRA.  

    As far as suggestions about new features, we have been told that a feature request JIRA is the method for ensuring that it gets seen by LL. 

    Every time I click on one of those links, I am denied access. "You do not have permission to view" or something to that effect. I wonder, since I was able to log in to the Jira just a few minutes ago, if those links will work for me now.

    Oh I don’t doubt for a second that it does. I just imagine it happens more frequently to people who engage in SLex

    I don't think it makes any difference. The person initiating has no way of knowing what you do or don't in SL without asking first. 

    That's why it aggravates me. Some guys automatically assume that if you are in SL you are here for pixel sex. They also seem to believe that pixel sex leads to RL sex with the SL partner.

    I originally joined SL to attend a memorial for a friend (illume, if anyone remembers her) and had no intentions of staying. Active Worlds just wasn't the same without her. Then, the day of the memorial service, the other half saw the SL graphics (2004/5) which just beat hell out of AW graphics and... well... here we are 14 years later.

    Honestly, I don't remember.   At the time I thought mesh meant any avi that didn't look like one of the starter ones.

    Yet you jumped on me for stating the truth when you don't even remember what actually happened. Did you even stop to consider that there may be lots of women running around with a mesh body and system head*? I suppose whoever fed you that line would have said that they are guys because they don't have a full mesh avatar. 

    There's a word for that. Stereotyping.

     

    *or maybe a mesh head and system body

    That's funny - why would you believe they were lying to me?

    Or are you trying to say that I imagined the entire conversation?

     

     

    Thank you, Captain Obvious!

    Who said anything about lying? Who said anything about imagining anything? 

    Who is insulting who when there is no call for it?

    I know several guys who have mesh avatars. Including the man I have lived with in real life for the past 20 years. You going to call them liars? I want to watch when you say that to my other half.

    "Everyone" can see and use the JIRA. Until they make an arse of themselves anyway. 

    They can also use the forum search function. 

    It's that simple. 

    Not always. For the longest time I couldn't even log in to the Jira. I just checked and for the first time in about 6 years, I could actually log in. It wasn't until M (I think it was) shut down resident access that I had any problems. The really stupid thing about that was I was still on the FS support team and we needed access to the SL Jira. I think I was the last one to get access back but it was long after I had left SL for 4 years.

    Ohh.. I may have an answer for this..

    Early when I started I was chatting with someone who "warned" me about men with woman avis.   She said that mesh is a good way to tell if someone is a "genuine" woman because men don't care about their appearance, so they don't bother spending money on mesh avis.

    Sorry Paragon but that simply isn't true. There is no way to tell for certain, short of meeting face to face offline.

    Me neither, at least in the year and a half I’ve been back in SL. We should do an experiment to see if we can get someone to demand voice verification! In all seriousness, I think it’s because I don’t hop on poseballs with randos. But I can try for science! 

    I don't hop on poseballs with randos as you put it. I am an SL virgin and will always be. Yes, it does happen to those of us who are not in SL for pixel sex. >:(

    Well seeing as you need a $400 VR hat with room scale tracking (no, the inside out stuff isn't as good) and minimum of a grands worth of PC to drive it, paying for content ins't bleeding you dry, you're already knee deep. Even the cheapest option of a PS4 & PS4 VR is $600 before you have bought a single title.

    Yeah, I don't think I can go a month without paying lot rent, utilities and food just to be able to dink around with VR. I'd rather have a roof over my head,  clothes on my back and food on my table than starve to death for something that doesn't exist in "meat space". Seems like a no brainer to me.

    There are official "song packs" you can buy, and a third party mod community which provides songs set up for Beat Saber.

    My point here is that what's getting used in VR is not virtual worlds. Nor social applications. Just well-made twitch games.

    I got your point. It had nothing to do with my question. 

    If I have to pay extra to get the genres of music I like, forget it. They're not getting any blood from this turnip. :D

    One of the most popular VR games is Beat Saber. Very simple, very active. It's a cross between Pong and Dance Dance Revolution.

    Far more popular than Sansar.

    (What you're seeing: player in front of green screen combined with graphics from game.)

     

    Nice! Can you chose the genre of music or do you have to use what comes with?

    Yes and there's no way to stop it. So you can harp at them against it, creating stress for yourself, or you can remove yourself from the situation and b, more of less,e stress-free (in a general sense of things.) This is true with any uncomfotable or undesirable situation. I'll be frank here, based on many or your posts, you strike me as someone dismayed with the way many things are. You can continue biting back, or you can just move on. Perosnally, is scenarios such as the thread-proper, I go with the latter in most cases. :)

    So just let it continue and we will remain second class citizens for however long Homo sapiens sapiens manages to survive, instead of fighting back and doing your part to make the world a better place for those who come after us. Eff that. I don't like being treated like a piece of property. I'm not an inanimate object. I am a human being.

    How can you tell .. not only are they all wearing fake beards, in the context of this scene they are all identifying as women, but I wouldn't put it pas Eric Idle to be playing a complicated double bluff.

    Not sure how I can explain. Mostly knowing what to look for. Most men have a prominent adam's apple, while most women don't. Physical features that are more or less exclusive to either male or female. The quality of the picture is pretty low so it's hard to see details but they are there. Te one on the far left is obviously, to me, a woman. The one in the blue/purple in the center, her hands give her away. The one on the far right in the back with half a face (lol) is also obvious to me. The one to the right of the woman in the center with the striped <insert proper term I've momentarily forgotten> looks exactly like a guy I once knew... looks a bit like Donald Sutherland, too. A couple of others look like guys to me. If the image were clearer, I would be able to see if they are all women or not. I'd say the chances are they are all women.

    The good side of the coin is that those types quickly identify themselves as someone to avoid at all costs because drama-cesspool in the brewing anyway.

    Avoidance allows perpetuation. The problem goes far beyond drama. It is deeply rooted in misogyny. How many more centuries are women going to have to deal with that crap?
