I just don't know what thread in particular did it.

THEY will never tell you.

Cos then you could contact them and see what their problem was and usurp the All Powerful Lindens, duh.

1. Because reality can't lose customers, and LL can.

2. Because you're arguing from assumptions based on common concepts of community, which doesn't exist in SL.

Reports regarding minors are kept confidential; maybe they're erring on the side of caution knowing that chances are there's a kid involved.

who'd you attack?

That's the problem. So many people and the forum's running like shit right now cos everyone's here complaining about their passwords that I can't search.

welcome to the club josh. The club of people who have been warned and never told why in the emails. ;p Just ignore it i guess.

I thought for sure it would have been /108/1d/135684/1.html , but it looks like that one has not been touched yet. So since you have a warning now, that thread may get you a 3 day vacation.... not like you can log in right now anyway....

Y'know, I'm thinking that anyone who files an AR because someone on a message board called them a name is far, far too wimpy and thin-skinned to be allowed out on the Internetsss.

In reading all the so-called "personal attacks" on this forum I've found nothing to match what I've walked through on Usenet or any other online fora in which I've participated.

Unless it was something heinous like revealing personal information, an actual threat of RL physical harm or suchlike (which it wasn't), whoever ARed you needs to grow a pair.

I thought so too.

They can't yell at me for any post I made before being warned because I've never been warned before.

Uh, I think that pretty much encapsulates the bulk of your posts last night, Josh, lol. Not the "threatening" part, though.

Everyone was doing it, but you got nailed...
Congrats!

well yeah, I'm not saying I didn't deserve it, I'm trying to friggin figure out which one finally got it so I know what to top next time.

You are funny! Since when did logic ever apply to LL and the way they deal out suspentions?

Shut up fuckercunt.

I take a guess at the land swooping scumbag, creeps like that always know how to play the system.

I think they lied. I've searched every single post I made in the last month and nothing's been edited.

Or maybe they didn't edit anything cos I have a plethora of violations.

You will soon just be deleted and erased from everyone's mind. That is the new way of dealing with rule breakers.

Kindof like that movie, what was it, Judge Dredd?

Oh fuck, I figured out what post did it.

This is beyond lame.

So when the passwords got reset I saw that the blog post went unread and people were flooding SL answers with "ZOMG WHY CAN'T I LOG IN???!" posts.

So I wrote something saying "This is why you can't log in" and quoted the blog post.

And then said below that "And this series of questions goes to show you that relying on a blog for news announcements fails and sucks butt."

The post wasn't edited, it's deleted. That's the only post I have that's gone.

So let me get this straight; I spend the week focusing unreserved rage on those idiots here and nothing happens, but the time I try to actually be helpful I get a warning and the thread's immediately gone because it was in Linden-land territory?

You'd fucking better believe I'm appealing the warning now.

Josh, I need to take pictures this weekend, kay?

of what?

No, no, no Josh. You misunderstand. The forums are not being closed to silence criticism of LL or its policies. The forums just don't scale very well.
