This has been bugging me for quite some time. I have been playing secondlife for over 3 years now and it boggles my mind that there is rampant discrimination of people simply because of their choice of avatar. People flip their lids if a certain type of avatar shows up and immediately ban said person from events, public sims, and public stores even though the person did nothing wrong other than choosing an avatar that other people dont like. We all have our opinions but this is starting to get ridiculous that certain avatars cant go practically anywhere because people are "scared of them" or just simply dont like them. that is not how this place is supposed to be. secondlife is supposed to be a fun, nice place to be yet its hostile and discriminatory. ive been waiting for 3 years now and all Linden Labs has done is ban gatchas. because THAT of all things was the biggest problem. So I am asking Linden Labs. when do you all plan to do something about all this racism, discrimination, and intolerance running rampant across SL? Even when we report people that very clearly violate TOS you do nothing. Do you plan on doing anything about this? or are we just going to have to suffer and avoid expressing ourselfs for who we want to be in order to participate in the game? does anyone else agree? Its been getting worse and worse and Linden Labs wont lift a single finger about it.

For those OMG Moments or Pet Peeves & WTH Situations... no real hard rules just same as before..carry on.😉

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2020 Linden Lab CEO Confirms New Round Of Layoffs; Cuts Include Kona Linden, Company's Last Link To Second Life's Glory Days Pictured: With Kona Gurion & his dog Moxie at Linden Lab in 2008; inset, Discord announcement from Linden's current CEO from yesterday Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg yesterday posted on the official Discord channel for Sansar, the company's new social platform, confirming reports (from virtual world blogger Ryan Schultz) of a new round of layoffs, but denying rumors that Sansar itself was closing: Among the layoffs, I am sad to personally confirm, is Kona Gurion (Kona Linden in SL), who was a member of Linden Lab's QA team for Second Life for 16 years. I knew him even before that, during my own time as Linden Lab's embedded reporter in SL, when Kona was among Second Life's first talented, passionate early adopters. With his layoff, Linden Lab loses its last known link to Second Life during its founding, and glory days of 2006-2008. This new round of layoffs comes only 3 months after another round of Sansar-related layoffs, when the platform was reportedly operating with just a skeleton crew. I have reached out to Linden Lab for an official statement and will update this post when and if I get a reply.

Hello, I have a marketplace suggestion. What if marketplace create a news feed example like facebook, so you follow your favorite creators and at the top of the MP home page, it will show there newest creations of your favorite stores you are currently following. It will save people like myself 50x more time then spending ages finding my favorite creators, then filtering to the newest items etc. You will gain more money as well! as you will find a lot more people will buy new products! Please make something like this or else make a favorite creators section, as you have no idea how many fantastic creators I find, and then I have to favorite there products then search in my favorites tab go through 20 pages just to find a creator who made a product. It becomes annoying after a while, I then have to favorite them in my browser bookmarkets or write a notecard, why should i do this when the MP should have something like this already, and maybe they do? but I don't know about it? Thanks, Glen

Hi. Last Friday 6.23.17(US). I sent a ticket to get my account reopened. I had made this one, & forgot about it. RL got in the way, & I came back, after awhile with a different account. ANYHOW I got a reply, answered what was needed, got the OK, that the account was reactivated, but, they wanted me to pick a new security Q & A, for safety reasons, so I did. Logged in, still got the account on hold page. Wrote back AGAIN, & got a different linden (I think it said Corky), asking is that the only way to spell the answer? I said yes. Then read on further & he/she wanted me to list all my alts, & their security Q & As. I had a bad feeling about that, but listed my accounts I CURRENTLY have, & what I think was my Qs. BUT nothing else. Should I be concerned? I have had accounts stolen, in the past, & even harassed off accounts, over the last 8 years. & I've left SL because of that, for months at a time, though I still have things I've passed down over the years, from my first account, as well as boxes of things I've made. Should I wait fot a reply? Should I change my PWs on my accounts? What should I do?

I've been looking up and down at google searches and forum posts but I cant seem to find anything relevant to this, and I'm not even sure if it's something they can do. When I search up particular sim terms, at the very bottom I will see at least 5 or 6 dead sims show up that have not been around for at least a good year now, and it's really taking up a lot of the search and looks shoddy all-together. I just need to know, is there's a proper way to report this kind of thing? I have included an example of the term search 'mlp' UPDATE: Looked up the term 'store', scrolled into the last pages and there are so many dead ones it's nearly sad...
