From: someone Mikalias Zugzwang Cant we all just get along?
P.S.
My first post Hi, Mikalias  You've got a good question, but in this thread you see somebody who chooses to pick fights with normal helpful people like Cubey and Weedy. I think that one person has an out of control need for attention. He's handed out 66 negative ratings to other players so far. I just checked using Find in-world. 66 is a lot. In fact that's a number you'd expect from a typical griefer. By typical griefer I mean some immature dummy wearing a giant penis outfit in the welcome area, and using negrates to try and shock newbies.

I'm a long time customer of Cubey, and friend and neighbor of Weedy. I have never had anything but the utmost respect for both of them. Guess I'll be receiving my three negs soon.

Prokofy Neva - the ONLY person I've ever seen abuse reported while actually at a Linden Labs meeting - need we say more?
I used to read some of his posts and find them quite intelligent,that is until I actually met him in world, where he proceeded to prove that everything everyone says about him on these forums is utterly true.
Paranoid? hell YES.

For a forum troll, there's no worse feeling then posting something, and getting no replies.

By typical griefer I mean some immature dummy wearing a giant penis outfit in the welcome area, and using negrates to try and shock newbies. Before the ratings were reduced to 6months i had given out 97 neg rates and i'm not what anyone would call a griefer. Just because someone uses the rating system as it was meant to be used (and i'm not talking about Prokofy) it does not mean they are a griefer. Briana Dawson |

From: Prokofy Neva Um, negrating someone is not "harassment," Weedy, get a grip. It's an expression of my negative appraisal on 3 areas. It's legal, allowed, and encouraged in the game.
Trying to call normal everyday legal game actions as "illegal" is typical of hysterical and overheated forum rhetoric. It's one of the reasons for the negs. *puts topless Prok pic on wall and sighs* *savors the words like cheese and Marmite on an english muffin*

I gotta say, its a neg rate. get over yourself.
Granted I don't think I have handed one out, well maybe one, but still its not a big deal. Especially if its the only one you have.

I try not to think of people as griefers, it's better to just focus on the activities that you find unsavory and try to steer clear of the offender. Starting a thread about someone that you consider a griefer is a bad idea in general.
If you absolutely must do so, you should probably stick to the bare cold facts of the crime against you and not make it emotional. Saying someone is harassing you and they need to stay away from you after starting a thread about them just looks very childish. You're lucky he reacted in kind so you don't look as bad.
