A Thought for those who blanket ban unverifieds

So....um....is this some sort of invitation? I'm free tomorrow morning around 11. How's your schedule look?

I'm aware of that. Speaking to her wouldn't help. I've already read what she said, anyway.

I'm a Caledon resident, I know what I need to do already, I simply can't do it until I can get on the grid.

Awww Siggy, how the hell do my unverified alts get swimmers now!!

Who? Is she suppose to be some kind of celebrity?

Thought one:

While I somewhat support the blanket ban for someone selling adult materials in order to establish an argument of making your best effort with the tools available to minimise a minor's exposure to said adult materials, no matter how flawed it may be, I have -yet- to see a porn shop in Caledon.

You know..that's not a bad idea. If I had the land and money I might even open a victorian style bordello...

Well as to regards to banlines, it would be nice to have a special security orb that you can manipulate the range that it only covers the house/building without affecting waterways or roads. I've heard of those that even give you enough time to leave the premises without it having to push you away. It gives just as much the same privacy as you could with the full banlines on and yet, be community friendly enough.

I for one am looking for security doorways. Ones that would only allow the owner and friends in but warn and then gently push away the unwanted guests out.

It would not have been helpful, not as a reflection on you at all, but rather because what you'd already posted was part of the apparently conflicting information, and more importantly, because I wanted the clarification from the horse's mouth, as it were (Desmond ... or more accurately his words, by way of the notecard)

It wasn't that I doubted what you'd say or that you were put in charge, I just wanted to get it straight from the source, not secondhand. I knew where to get what I needed already, so there was nothing I really needed to talk to you about, that's all.

The reasoning you present about the land layout, which I was already aware of and intended to mention by example while writing my previous post (before deciding to wait and see), is perfectly valid and logical.

If my tone seemed to slight you, do forgive me. I was reacting the way I was for quite a different reason. It wasn't about you, and it wasn't really about banning at all, but rather about options. I prefer having as many as possible, regardless whether I intend to use them or even if they are practically useful, and I don't give them up lightly once I have them or believe I do. That's just the way my personality works.

For me, it was not and is not an easy balance to strike, trading some of the autonomy of the mainland for the benefits of Caledon, even while greatly preferring the latter over the former. I like and trust Desmond as well as my fellow residents; nevertheless, it's very easy to jar that balance when things are presented the wrong way or catch me unawares, which has happened before in Caledon. As a general rule, I keep it to myself.

Well, if there were a "washed up musicians that nobody gives a crap about anymore" filter, I would have banned her with that instead.

Well after finding out who she is all I gotta say she has no excuse to why she can't supply a creditcard to verify herself.

WAH! And I wanted to get returned to inventory! I haven't had that happen since the text based muck days!

I have no doubt that we have had more than that, I just mentioned the 3 I have seen, a I spend most my time in/around my house and store...so I too think our griefer/visitor ratio is low.

And yes it is gauche....After all, they don't even bother with proper clothing for the season and event!

*shivers in fear* I curse the very term Xcite! and its creator every time I am subjected to talking genitalia. Its bad enough to fool around in most public places, but to also show illiteracy / inability to pose a complete sentence while doing so should be criminal!

She probably has 4-5 of them.

I often sell pamphlets of Phedre baring *gasp* an ANKLE!

Well according to BabelFish

"After with "Dep de DO Dep" on my head this ten - or more years, give as only fact totum to my country to you is gebannt. No view it, does not feel it, it is me alone in such a way disturbs."


I hope that clears that up for you.

Wow, I have seen the same instructions on some cheap electronic things, right after "insert one piece of 9 volt battery."

Thanks been to the website still none the wiser so i will download a track to listen to later thanks for the info

Whoop te doo.

Don't know who this is, don't care. Even if I did know who it was, I still wouldn't care?

Well after finding out who she is I can understand why she cant afford to get a credit card to verify herself... or is it like most spoiled and forgotten stars... they think free and unverified is what they deserve

Wow. I had no idea. Now I'm going to ban her specifically. That song makes me want to punch my sometimes boyfriend right in the groin, since it was on the radio the first time we...er...expressed our passion physically, that being the style at the time.
Now he sometimes hums it during foreplay. Boy is he in for a surprise the next time...

"my name is luk*WHAMMO*AUUUUUGGGGHHHEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

Of course, he'll be pretty much useless to me in bed for a couple days, but if it breaks him of that little quirk, it'll be worth the extra few bucks in size-C batteries...

I might even make him watch, just to torture him a bit more.

/me can be an evil bitch when she wants to be.

I was once returned to Miss Malaprop's inventory, quite arbitrarily. It's rather dark in there, and there was a faint, musty odor which I could never clearly identify, nor verify the source of.

I wandered around for several weeks, rather disoriented. Survived on buttered scones, which seem to lie all about the place, each flaky pile isolated in its' own shimmering, golden beam of light, filled with tiny, dancing motes.

I eventually found my way out. Somewhat exasperating, really. I would imagine the chalk marks I left to mark my progress through those stygian vaults are still visible, though the humidity which constantly condensed on the dank, brick walls may have lavaged them away by now.

I left my journal behind, in the hope it might provide some comfort to the next poor soul arbitrarily returned there. It has most likely not fared very well in all that damp, even considering that I wrapped it in my best waistcoat to protect it from the ravages of the environment.

I do miss my waistcoat.

This story reminds me of two pizza restaurants in NY, the two are named Pizza Stromboli and they are next to each other and on each of it, it is written, 'this is the real Pizza Stromboli'

Well I am Nick Rhodes from SL and originally i am Nicolas + i liked the last name Rhodes back then as there was few last name availlale (speaking of beta time). But I discover after that a musician of Duran Duran was name like me (or modestly the contrary . I knew Simon Le Bon and i was fairly fan of them back in the 80' but my name is not a tribute to them speaking of facts.

It is very amusing than among all the band that could have come to sl, Duran Duran is the one, speaking of coincidence, very relatively as i am concern...

So I am an homonym =) and I am not musician but I am a photographer as Jonquille nicely remember =)

Speaking of the SIM now... I am afraid to say that it was named as me but not as the DD Nick, Anshe counts among my friends. She nicely propose me to name a sim under my name, as she did for some of us old timers and contributors, like Obscuro Valkyrie (creator of Transylvania among other great things =).

Note that i dont own a piece of this land but the name =)

In conclusion, trully I dont know what will be the linden policy if Nick Rhodes want to perfom live under his name...
