Disturbing level of hatred

Hey, we have to be careful where we spend those free memberships.

would it be out of place to mention you can upload photos at http://forums.secondcitizen.com ?

you do need an account to post tho (and hopefully an avatar)

and actually, asri has posted at SC before...

so upload away, i wanna see

Well for whatever reason the admin has decided not to allow lurkers into the rants section of that forum, if you want to know that bad, register its not that difficult, I could care less.

You have to register to view it Ms. Advert.

Seriously, just log out and try following that link, it would ask to login.

LIKE THIS

No you don't need to be a member of imageshack to upload.

Thanks for repeating what I said to you. Geez you have to register to view those threads, so it's an advert.

I think I am just going to mute now so I can enjoy the last remains of the forums, take care

You can read Stratics Second Life without registering... the only part which requires registration is the "Off Topic" part which is along the veins of Second Citizen, but without the death threats.

Hey Lewis, what do you exactly do at Stratics? Someone was wondering this and I had no clue, you arn't a moderator right?

thats cute lewis, the death threats thing

would you have sold glowsticks and cotten candy at Jesus crucifiction to make a couple extra sheckle?

My role there is "Content Manager". This means I have two roles:

1) Help Guides. Co-ordinating the production of the various "Help Guides" which are there to help new players understand what's going on.

2) News. Although the news staff work amongst themselves to find things to report on, I also have some minor responsibility in making sure I let them know of anything I hear about so it can be covered. As well as news, there are also reviews of new things of general interest if it is felt appropriate, such as the yesterday's opening of Wheelies.

My only input in the forums is that I happen to post on them. Forum moderation, policy and suchlike are not part of my job description or sphere of influence. There is a global "Rules of Conduct" policy, which cover most sensible things like no posting of real life information on another person, no pornography, etc, and when forums are 'official' there are occasionally additional rules enforced by the game company (such as EA banning talk of selling game items for real cash on the TSO forums). I have worked for a year or so as a Sims Online content editor (meaning I write them, not oversee them), and you'd be more than welcome to drop over there and have a look at the many guides I've done there as well.

I would urge you all not to discount Stratics Second Life, because it is part of the world's largest multi game MMORPG forum site, and has a reputation for quality - just because I happen to have a minor involvement.

Lewis

Thx much appericated.

It's certainly of interest to me. I haven't been running around to the different forums to even BEGIN to understand what this is about, or who all the players are.

But I've been in SL long enough to be able to recognize a lynch mob when I see one.

And I've seen more than enough of people "deciding" one person is another. Needless to say.

Funny thing is, even if a person WERE guilty of whatever it is they are being accused of, even beyond any doubt, sympathy still ends up going to them, for having been the prey of a pack of hounds (in addition to having to stoop to whatever the crime was in the first place).

And the hounds so vicious in their perusal end up damaging their own rep for it, whether they are right or not.

Glad to know you are out of the woods on this particular piece of crap done to you, Sensual.

P.S. As I've said before, one of these days people are gonna go after the wrong person - one who isn't strong enough to withstand the assault, and what happens then is gonna be on their heads. Something they will get to live with for the rest of their lives.

are you really talking about guilt and innocence after you made the accusation you did about FIC.TIONAL?

Ok, all that was fine.

But today someone has made a poll on how to rape the same resident mentoned here.

Mulch, I think you guys seriously need to lock/quarantine etc threads.

I have been reading this since last night and have seen several mentions of "living in a different country" , "dispute between two content creators" etc etc

So just for the record - NO - it wasn't me either.
( I was tucked up in bed at the time of the post and have a witness to that effect )

I personally do hope that the police are involved and that whoever posted it either lands up behind bars or is ordered to under go a period of extensive psychiatric treatment.

The internet contains many elements of the freedom of speach, but it is still governed and ruled by the laws of the country it abides in.

Threaten to kill someone in the street - you go to jail.
Threaten to kill someone in a newspaper - you go to jail
Threaten to kill someone on the internet - I think you will next be seen in jail or a rubber room.

If I'm not mistaken both of them live in the US.

that is one of the original posts, check your post times

Ok Mulch,

I strongly believe the victim here should bring criminal charges against the person who made this poll and anyone who voted in it.

Lame.

Cocoanut,

A single person made the accusation against Sensual, and I asked her to remove it from this thread so the point of the topic did not get derailed (which she did and started a thread herself). There has been no lynch mob against Sensual, I don't think anyone but the original accuser thinks she did this (I definitely don't) - there certainly hasn't been a lynch mob in this thread. The topic at hand is the fact that a death threat and rape poll were made about someone. You are worried about the impact being accused of doing this has on someone - what about the impact it has had on the person whose life was threatened, and who was the subject of the rape poll?

I already bought up this subject, questioning the logic not only of letting the post remain on SC, but dragging it over here as well to cause more embarrassment to the subject by spreading the shit wider. The responsible thing to have done would have been to remove the posts immediately and permaban the culprit, then taken it up with the individual and offered your full assistance should they wish to involve law enforcement agencies.

Lewis

To be honest, Cristiano, speaking from the depth of my inexperience, it doesn't seem difficult to me.

1. Hate speech. Inflammatory speech directed at minorities.

2. RL Information.

3. Anything illegal that is not covered by 1 and 2.

Mind you, having said that, I like the way you moderate sluniverse.
