Unless you choose to disclose such information, it's simply none of anyone's business who or what you are in RL. Let people know when you're uncomfortable revealing what they're asking you to reveal and, if they insist, simply tell them where to get off. And rest assured that there will be dozens upon dozens of other people with whom you'll be able to interact in SL who don't require an arm and a leg in order to say hello. ...Dres

sirhc DeSantis wrote:  With sub 'Second Life discussions' Yeah, seems pretty much self explanatory. For more general roving/rambling vaguely related stuff head over the road. That simply states that SL discussion are welcome, not that non-SL discussions aren't. When this forum was created, Amanda, the Community Manager at the time, was asked if non-SL related discussions were allowed here and she said they were; to my knowledge, no one at LL has ever stated anything to the contrary. ...Dres

For once, I'm commenting before reading the whole thread. Sy Beck wrote: Well I'm guessing I'm throwing this question out because if I finish with "discuss", as I have in the past, some people get their panties in a twist. However, I'm pretty sure that a lot of us back in the day who campaigned to have this slot as a "General Discussion" slot so that people would have an area to espouse their views about anything that was either current or upon their mind,might have an area to do so, might now be sorely disappointed at where our efforts ended. This was supposed to be a place where free minds could argue, debate and, heaven forbid, disagree with each other. A place of comedic interaction, if necessary and a place of condemnation, if required. I was one of those who campaigned vigorously for this GD forum when its existence was called into question, because, the way I saw it, this GD forum was the very heart of the "community" that we'd built here. There was a time when, in prior versions of this forum, the lack of moderation allowed for deeply personal attacks and wholly inappropriate behavior. I don't wish for those times to return (because, heaven forbid a forum where Sus can run the ef over people willy-nilly like she used to). But ffs, allow some constructive, intelligent discussion. As far as I'm concerned, Sus was wonderful... even when she was going after me. The arguments we used to have here in the forum were nothing more than that... Sus understood that arguing with someone didn't mean that you hated them and certainly didn't mean that you or they were a "troll". Now, everyone is a troll or a bully or what have you, simply because they dare to state their obstinate point of view. This forum is not equivalent to SL itself, but I don't think for a second that the sort of "ef them, we'll do what the hell we want, regardless of what they think" mentality doesn't apply to SL at large. No, LL is not interested in those of us who have a reasonable opinion or who can manage to argue our opinions against those who don't agree. We are all stupid and deserve to be subjugated... fall in line or you're out. Oh, how I admire those who left never having submitted themselves to LL's stupidity (like I have). ...Dres (Pep is still my hero.)

soxley wrote: , pedophilia, ect., etc...? Insanely rare to find this inworld unless you deliberately go to child AV places, and if you do encounter it, report it to the police. This alone confirms your ignorance (if not blatant stupidity). Ageplay is not illegal in every jurisdiction. But, even if it was, how would you know within which jurisdiction to report the person? Let me answer that for you... you wouldn't... but LL might. And because LL has oversight of the platform they created, they've the ability to police these sorts of things... not you, not sim owners, not fellow SL users, not even your local police have that ability. Your thesis here is based upon LL being unable to get rid of troublemakers... your resolution seems to be for everyone to fend for themselves. Why shouldn't LL be able to rid their own platform of trouble? Why shouldn't they get rid of someone that only causes harm to their users? Doesn't LL have an obligation to ensure the safety and well-being of their own user base? ...Dres

If that was the rule I had to live by, I'd buy a plywood box from my sister for 150,000 linden, then hit her up for money when I wanted it later. ...Dres

soxley wrote: Why so? Explain - or was that just a half-assed put down? What you're suggesting is that anyone should be able to do anything they wish in SL with little to no consequences. Therefore, enabling them to reek havok upon the general SL population which pays LLs bills... do you honestly think they'd continue paying to be part of a platform which would condone such anti-social actions as stalking, harassment, pedophilia, ect., etc...? What you're suggesting is the very downfall of SL itself. It's not my fault if you're too stupid to see that. ...Dres

Soxley, sweety... you're obviously too stupid to understand the dire consequences of that which you so foolishly request. ...Dres

The only thing you need to consider is which alt more adequately represents who you are or who you wish to be. It matters not what anyone thinks of you, wants of you or believes you should be. Being who you want to be in SL is the pro, being who you arbitrarily believe you should be is the con. Follow your heart. ...Dres
