  1. If they hire one of their lawyers or Tilia or J.P. Morgan they would all be considered external partners but with a vested interest in finding the least amount of problems. Yeah I am sure the employees might be under some pressure but at least would have a better idea of the long term ramifications if any, contrary to many residents, creators and landholders within SL. SL being what it is with constant ongoing events and and a birthday every year is never in a good position for bad news so I rather doubt the timing had much to do with it but just worked out that way.
  2. I hate to admit it but I'm thinking you're right, especially since we still can't discuss what triggered it all in the first place. That restriction alone makes it near impossible the trust the Lab in any way, shape or form. How many other secrets is the Lab withholding from us?
  3. Note how it was said: "As owner of Linden Lab, I have initiated a thorough investigation, both internally and with external partners" and really focus on the partner bit. Not an "independent investigator" but a partner. One with the Lab's best interest in mind no doubt rather then the interests of the residents and those within the Lab who might be or were negatively affected.
  4. With due respect then, why don't you tell us what we can discuss since Brad's announcement was about the article/blog. Anything we can discuss that would be on topic, would in some way refer to it and potential solutions for mitigating any future occurrence.
  5. Valid point as it is my own justification of late for stepping back from SL. I can just retire to my own grid while this plays itself out but I can see how others may easily use this as an excuse to take a permanent vacation from the platform.
  6. It would of course only leave a grid full of frustrated p a e d o's. Could safely nuke SL then and no children would be hurt. 😄
  7. And really the ones predominantly identified in that blog were those who appear as adults. The thread really should be more about policing their sexualized interactions with younger looking avatars.
  8. Yes and publicize that they have removed x amount of items from the MP for specific infractions. No naming or shaming but a rundown of has been removed. That way we know the Lindens are on the job protecting the residents and creator will be a bit more careful about what they create and who they sell it to.
  9. And really shouldn't it be about the Lab policing itself rather then another conversation about child avatars?
  10. Quite honestly, that is a proposition I've never received though I have received invitations to cuddle which may have led to that had I been open to it. Cuddling as far as i have seen is the normal sort of request.
  11. People look to wear what makes them attractive to others. Wouldn't we be further ahead re-educating those are actually attracted to that sort of look?
  12. You're beating a 20 year old dead horse. You'll not clean up any age playing residents because you are chasing the victim, not the perpetrator. You're in good company but still the wrong one if you actually hope to do anything about the problem rather then just throw out some sound bytes. Put up signs around for child avatars to report perpetrators. Like the guy who IM'ed me when I was walking around as a young avatar and he expressed the desire to put his hard body part into my sweet little mouth. Where do I have a safe place to report that revolting message? That is what maybe you should focus on and actually do something positive that has a more lasting effect.
  13. Yeah maybe but really the best solution would be to pursue those avatars who actually fish around for a younger looking avatar to have slex with. They are the one's you want. Banning all avatars who appear younger does nothing to clean up SL of those who are attracted to young looking residents. Ban or clean the grid and you'll have that type still trying to convince the gullible, new people, and others with little financial resources, to buy the body/head/clothing that suits the look that excites them. I've seen this, I've experienced this. I've had men approach me over the years offering to pay me L$ to do makeover to a younger looking avatar that they liked and would want to play with. I've been approached by those who wanted me to pretend I was 12 and even offered to pay me to do it. Those are the one's the community should actually be after.
  14. No, height plays a big factor in determining what a child avatar looks like, extending to people having minimum height restrictions required to enter a parcel or region. That combined with the announcement's desire to engage the community's engagement to set new or modified policies: makes it exactly what this thread is about.
  15. How about this: Everyone must include their real life height and follow it inworld. Then there would be less argument about inworld heights and everyone can adjust it to a realistic value. I'm sure we would all be ok with that.
  16. What matters is how other residents police it and then report and perhaps embellish.
  17. Begs the question though whether R/L activity leads to the game or the game activity leads to R/L.
  18. Was the reporting account of a now deleted post important? Noone going to the loony bin over it.
  19. Yeah but it takes certain tattle tales to point out potentially offending posts. Had those not rushed to point it out, an occasional reference would likely have been overlooked.
  20. In some ways the source is unimportant as there is a large contingent of previous and regurgitated residents who have been blocked and banned at some point through being reported by anonymous tipsters and subsequently banned for some infraction with a lot less proof then the 30+ page indictment of some of the upper brass this incident has brought forth. Neither the anonymous tipsters nor the LL employees that affected the actual ban, ever had to reveal their identity or reasoning, so why should this blog author have to reveal his identity or reasoning for doing so. The only question is whether there is some validity to what he brought up.
  21. One is an oldbie if one only understands how the sl inventory works.
  22. Or is that the people have the freedom to believe what they read and hear and thereby is starting to disbelieve the side that is trying to pull a fast one over the people? Democracy is threatened for those who have relied in past on pulling the wool over the eyes of the people.
