People obviously don't really care about what is good business practise and what is bad business practise.
.
Seriously have you take the time to read any of my posts?

From: Catherine Cotton Talen you missed my point. If a land barron owns 10 sims worth of land as some do now. They can ban a single player from all that land. Do you think that player is going to feel welcome in SL, comfortable? Or do you think they will feel restricted? I think they would feel restricted. Now if you were resticted from all the land surrounding your land by a land barron would you keep your land? would you move to where they were not? or would you just sell it off and become a nomad? Catherine there is almost as much land that is blocked as private now...whats the difference? If I own 10 sims or 40 sims worth of land and I don't want someone on it I have the option to ban them...everyone does. It's not a question of land baroning. From: someone I have to be honest when I say if I am restricted from ALL the land around me I would think twice about buying more land. I also would consider no land. That downsizing becuase of a land baron directly affects LL's bottom line. People have to do it all the time. Its the same if someone builds ugly spoinning red cubes around you. but again this has absolutely nothing to do with land baroning. From: someone Maybe my money doesnt matter, lets take me out of the equastion. Look at the big picture, a player neg rates a sign of a land barron that person is banned at least 2 sims today. That land surrounds thier proprety. This is how the land barron feels, they dont like the neg rate so they ban joe avatar. Now what affect would that have on the L$ if say that land barron felt that way about 10 ppl? why stop there. At some point those types of actions by those with the most amount of land and the most power will start to affect LL bottom line. I hope I have been very clear. Youl can replace land baron with any name and the situation is the same. You can't dictate what someone builds or if they ban you. Just as they can't dictate whether you have the right to neg rate them. From: someone Again my money is a drop in the bucket they wont miss it. Now what happens if this is common practice? Seriously I think to use power like that for what ever reason is wrong People tier down or leave SL everyday for one reason or another and people join everyday so I think LL has the law of averages going and could afford to lose any one of us. As for using power I'm sorry I can't feel for you when you used power as well by neg rating someone because they built something on their own land.

A very simple solution. Unban me for neg rating your forsale sign. From Ross and Samoa and other regiions I am not yet aware of.
Honestly, if land barons are in SL to run their land brokerages as a business I think they need to take a huge step back from any pettiness. I keep hearing about how they are bringing a form of rl commercialism into sl for the good of sl. If that is truely the case then seriously run it like you would a business and not a pissed off tit for tat knee jerk.
This type of banning when your goal is to sell land seems very counter productive. Honestly do you realy think I am going to buy any land from either of you now? Of course not I had a bad experience with you. Either your a business girl/guy or your not. You cannot have it both ways. That is called abuse of power.

See, now, the way I look at it is that reputation can be ruined by the spreading of rumors by one person if and only if those rumors meet no resistance in their path. So in a scientific sense, we have: A) "Jane Doe ripped my friends off!" A.1) "Wow, that's terrible! I'm not surprised, though." --> rumor carries on along path with renewed speed. A.2) "Really? I don't know Jane - she must be a bad person." --> rumor carries on along path at the same speed. A.3) "I am surprised, I didn't know Jane was like that. Hm." --> rumor carries on, but is slowed. A.4) "I can't believe you! I know Jane and she'd never do that!" --> rumor stopped. A.5) "Stop making up lies about my best friend Jane, an upstanding citizen." --> rumor stopped, and reverse process initiated. The best way to prevent or cure a malicious false rumor is to ensure A.4 or A.5 happen as often as possible. I shouldn't need to spell out how to do that.

From: Ursa Falcone There seems to be a big workaround to this that anyone would use - set it as HOME and ya don't have to go across anyone's land.
This is just the kind of response that does nothing to 'help' this situation. I would advise you to go inworld as I did and check out what exactly is going on.
There is something new on the landscape - this will not help the cause to bring about peace...which is OBVIOUSLY not what is desired here. Lol, Ursa, tysm for the advice but clearly if I go IW to find out what is going on not only will I probably get a "none of your business response" but I don't want to hear what I have already read on the forums. Also several people that I like seem to be at war with each other, which seems to always be sad. (Cat and Jauani are both nice people) I did say at the very beginning "If its true". I clearly don't know both sides, however, I have seen Anshe do this to at least one other person as well for the exact same reason, because she got a neg rate. I just feel its wrong how she retaliates. Can't she just neg rate back? and be done with it? Huggerz, MJ

Well done, Eddie Vogul.
You start a post hoping people will flame Anshe Chung more, and the sharks immediately start circling at the scent of blood.
Anshe's business practices aside, and Catherine's banning aside, I'd like to hear from you, Eddie Vogul, if you really started a negative mud-slinging campaign because Anshe Chung busted you on a scheme to exploit the First Land feature? I haven't seen you refute anything Anshe has said.
Are you just as bad as you claim her to be? What was your motivation in posting this thread?

No, you are talking about a specific incident between you and your neighbor...doesn't matter if she's a land baron or a newb with big dreams. It doesn't change the fact that you neg rated her for something she built ( which is your right) and she banned you from her land ( which is her right).

My question is what happens when your banned not from just the property surrounding your home but from say 10 sims. The average player does not own a sim much less 10. That is the difference.

It is no secret that I have not been the biggest fan of some of Anshe's business practices in the past and have been outspoken about that fact, publicly and also privately to her. It is one thing to hold onto principles. It is another to not respond to any criticism or input and just keep doing things the exact same way no matter how it is affecting others. It reminds me of the presidential debates, when Bush constantly talked about staying the course, having certainty, and Kerry responded that you can be certain, and be wrong. Is there wisdom to staying the course of something that brings so much negativity? To each his or her own, I suppose.
Regardless of that, why is this thread here? I read the original post and am not even sure what Anshe is being accused of this time. The original post actually reads almost as a vaguely worded threat. Why is this post allowed to stand and so many other threads are locked very quickly with an admonishment from Jeska about personal disputes (which this seems to be)?

From: Ursa Falcone  what good will this kind of reaction do?? Did you read it? Ppl in power cannot push around the little guy no matter how many sims they own. That is my point. Apparently Anshe owns the land that mall sits on. I did say the gloves were off.

It doesn't change the fact that you neg rated her for something she built ( which is your right) and she banned you from her land ( which is her right). what i hear you saying is its ok to ban you on 10 sims if the owner thinks you deserve to be banned. At what point are your movements restricted to the point that your game play is affected? I guess that would depend on 1) your tolorance level and 2) how many sims the person who doesn't like you owns. You can live with it, yes I understand you point.

The average player does not own a sim much less 10. That is the difference. The average player doesn't own land period....and we're not talking about the average player are we? You want to resolve this issue ....follow these steps and I bet you are unbanned by tonight. 1. remove the negs you gave your neighbor. 2. Take down the sign protesting the neighbor 3. IM neighbor and tell them that this is all really stoopid . I don't want to fight with you and I doubt you want to fight with me. 4. you get unbanned. Is this the best scenario...probably not but it will get you what you want. Honestly , would you rather keep the drama going or would you rather get on with your second life?
