Is it wrong to post a landmark to a place...

Mistress,

Aimee and I certainly disagree on plenty of things, but mostly on the details. We both agree that we HATE people selling other peoples' works. I'm very disappointed in Imagoel, I thought she was better than this... but apparently she is not.

I'm also disappointed the Lindens have not yet done anything, but I've barely seen any in world. Has anyone tried IMing them in world, bringing them there, and having them take care of it immediately? Try Michael, you were there the last time this happened... and he helped us immediately!

Given Siggy's post, this is a repeat offense of the worst nature.

As for Aimee's idea about something resident-run, its a good idea. I think RATE would be a great start to this, but haven't heard much about that lately.

Regards,

Please tell me it's not still monday??

Taco, is ripping off and selling other people's items considered art? It DOES make us think you know

-aimee

I am curious, now that LL is now open and back on schedule, has anyone contacted a Linden?

There is one thing. Don't buy ANY of her stuff. Even the stuff SHE made. Till she stops selling other peoples things.

Good question, Sens.
Has anyone?

My thoughts on all this:

Look, its understandable that bugs happen.
What is INFURIATING about this particular situation and situations similar to it (the long, long list) is that the Lindens will not act **consistently** to fix the exploitation that is happening BECAUSE of thier bug.

You drop a glass of milk.
It happens.
It isnt a problem until you decide that you would rather ignore the puddle and let it get crusty and stinky rather than getting a towel and mopping it up.

i seem to have lost the number, give give...i call and yell!!! hehe...naw, ill give em a buz, i need the number though...n e 1 got it handY?

justin

That really puts the problem in perspective! :|

got the number...called...ring ring, ring ring...."Hi, you have reached blah blah blah...Ill keep trying though...and keep yall posted...(try one in world)

Justin

ok, got ahold of someone...YAY...hey it has been xmas and stuff...no worky too much ya know. N e way, they are aware, and are investigating the abuse reports filed by people and the situation. obvioulsy there is a lot of data and what not to investigate. so there u have it...
justin

YAY. Well said Neph!

I suspect this is just something they say. I'm not sure. Who did you speak to?

They've had a lot of time to "review the data". I'm looking over my notes, and I contacted Rheya Linden about this November 14th, and I followed up with Char Linden on November the 18th. (abuse reports before then)

Char told me she was "coordinating with the abuse team on that." Since that was over a month ago, I assume that the Lindens have resolved to do nothing about it.

I went to check the place out (I even stood on someone elses land since I don't even want to give dwell to someone who does this kind of thing) and I noticed that most of the items have "nobody" as creators. I refuse to purchase anything from this person just to check if the real creator's name shows up, so can anyone recognize their items amongst the ones being sold or has purchased any of the items to discover the creator's name? I found two items that had other people's names as creators (I don't know if these people gave their consent for their items to be sold though):

1. there's a green bed (I think it's named "porn bed" or something like that) made by Tala Fate
2. there was also a hot tub ("love tub" with a notecard from Azelda Garcia and a bunch of things in the contents that had "nobody" as a creator.

awwwwwwwww that's why nothing was there when I went to look!!! damn i thought you all posted the wrong location.

Kats: Well Mistress' hair showed nobody in the vendor but when I bought it and put it on the ground it showed her name.

I had 3 objects in my inventory that I created and they had the same names as some other creators.... anyway I mixed up the items and put them in my vendors.
However ... the reason I didnt remove the items was because this shitty midnight mafia started rating me negative and send me bad IMs ... instead of talking nice to me and asking me whats goin on. I didnt see I was selling the wrong items before they started sending me treathnan IMs and rating me negative.
so the reason I didnt remove the items was I got mad ... and I still am!

So you are mad. You are still in the wrong.

I know Imagoel Best as you are talking about. and I understand why she did what she did. Some people from Midnight city started rating her negative and sending her naughty IMs instead of asking her what she was doing... and it was a mistake that the hair got sold from her vendomachines. I would have done the same ting (not taking it off sale when somebody were acting like babies.)

and about that other shop nex to the hair salon ... I checked all the items and Imagoel created them all. Give her a break... I mean you guys started all this!


Muffin!

Is it me? Why does everyone who posts any more sound like a minor to me?

That clears it up.

Banana Nut Muffin.

What?

Oh come on, let's play the sympathy card some more.

When I went to her store, something like 70% of the items being sold had the "nobody" creator tag. To me, that smells like an exploit. And an exploit smells like poo.

Launa Fauna found her hug animation for sale.

Mistress found her hair extensions for sale.

I don't want to hear a boohoo story about it. She was exploiting a bug to sell stuff, end of story. If she's truly in the wrong, the Lindens will rectify it. If we're in the wrong, we'll know soon enough.

Well, I'm mad at you right now. Can I copy your stuff and sell it? I mean, I'm all mad and stuff. It'd be right, you know? Cause i'm mad.

Wait, see, that makes no sense.

I saw the same thing LordFly does, so this "cry me a river, its a mistake" DOES NOT WASH.

Especially since Siggy - a wise ass, but an honest wise ass - says this is a repeat offense. You don't make mistakes this this twice. Its an OBVIOUS crime. Trying to cover it up by saying its a mistake sounds like something an Enron executive would do... or maybe Union Carbide!

-Flip

LordFly - you can ONLY sell her stuff if:

(1) you're mad
(2) you got her items through either a bug in the system or an exploit you found
(3) you're a lying, filthy, worthless thief

Unfortunately, I know you're not #3.
