These latest forum-flooding attacks got me thinking, if you're spending hundreds of hours a week reading the forums and someone comes to post with an alt, well im sorry but that is a crime. Shouldnt LL report these idiots to the feds?
The anonymity of alts is abused to the extreme to say the least. Legit use of an alt would in no way be compromised by putting these people in jail because there is no legit use for an alt.
I understand that some people may want to anonymously play an alt legitimately. Hahahahahhahahahaha! Oh sorry. But the mechanics of SL just make abusing this capability far too easy and it is done every single day, for example building anonymously so they can't be interrupted, taking a break from business, or even worse paying for the accounts of family and friends who might be even more inclined to griefing. Even the Lindens seem confused by why this could be considered wrong, but it is!
Put all users of alts in prison, and people will be a hell of a lot less likely to pull this crap and destroy a legit player's game experience.
the preceding is a parody. please don't take it seriously.

Like this will ever happen.  Here's an idea: Lets empty our prisons of violent, dangerous criminals and replace them with ALT forum posters. bwhahahahahahahah... cold day in hell, my friends. Cold day in hell.

EDIT: vvv Ahhh, so you're trying to make us think that you're trying to make us think that you're Alby. Well we're onto you now, mister!

Nah, I saw the blue disclaimer but chose to ignore it for humor sake.

Oh, I see, you're making your point through pure sarcasm, whilst not giving and actual support for your belief. Why didn't I think of that?

I think this is a really dumb idea as there are more important things that the law should be focusing on ..
how could you propose such a silly thing??

I have my alt to build in peace. My alt does not post. My alt does not talk to people, accept CC's, or do anything except build stuff under his cave I made for him. What has he done wrong besides allow me to build without being interrupted?

Roll Eyes. I assume the intent of this post is to associate/confuse a ludacris application of legal action against malicious SL users with legitimate ones. I would compare this to: "If you prosecute people for mail fraud, you may as well prosecute people with multiple EMail addresses too! Where will the madness end?! Punishing ANYBODY for ANY harmful or malicious act is impossible because it will eventually lead to punishing innocent behavior!"

From: someone LOL zuzi, can you make your disclaimer harder to see? well i was going to leave it off completely but i thought people would miss the joke. ahem.......heh. for the record the point of this is to parody some of the posts from what i see as the latest non issue that has inflamed the forums like a hemorrhoid. the forums feed on drama and abhor a vacuum. the whole "omg alts" thing is the latest topic to fill the void and give people something to feel smart about. last week it was SL Exchange. week before it was ratings and bonuses. next week something else will come along and stir everyone up then disapear and never be heard of again. just trying to lighten the mood is all. From: someone I would compare this to: "If you prosecute people for mail fraud....... that's a pretty good example. basically they already punish people for mail fraud. no need to go punishing the people with the ability to commit mail fraud. so in sl they already punish griefers. no need to punish people who could grief but aren't (yet. muhahahaha!) ps: i am not Alby

First of all ...as stated before no Pie option....the minimum of Pecan Pie has to be allowed for. Secondly ...why is it that when there is a post on a well debated subject there has to be 12 threads and 5 polls on it?

cause you get less of an ego stroke posting on page 15 than by splashing your name across the topics page. and a poll makes it feel like Something's Being Done. public opinion carries psychological weight. not much other weight tho. and if i knew how to edit the poll there'd be pie aplenty. please excuse the oversight. From: someone Should Linden alts take action against Linden Lindens? they're the worst kind! didn't you read Korg's farewell address? the Lindens use their alts to ferret out dissenters and to sway public opinion. and prolly to grief too. they would.......

It was sarcasm. You mean you, or the guy starting the thread? I hope the guy starting the thread was being sarcastic, becuase next people will be saying "I was in world and I said hi to this guy, and rudely he didn't say hi back. Let's put him in prison!"

While there is some thought-provoking conversation going on in this thread, I just wanted to remind everyone that the forums are not the proper place to air personal attacks against one another - please refrain from personally attacking someone you don't agree with in the forums.

just goes to show no matter how blatantly obvious you think you're being someone will still miss it. next time no disclaimer for you! i will be the disclaimer nazi. nah i can't really blame them. with people that obtuse running around it's impossible to really know when someone's joking. you think "nobody could be that dense. it has to be a joke." oh but people can be that dense. slippery slope my friends.....slippery slope.......... and i haven't seen anyone remark on how you can vote for both sides of the poll.
