Why did you move Skunk Money, but you allow stuff like, Texas Hold Em thread? and Other "advertising" posts?

I'm sure the game and machinery is wonderful! But... Advertising the game in the "New in Second Life" forum, which is violating the forum rules, is just plain WRONG! |

And its not a business
The reason i made the original post was because its a social environment. I have not made a post since in New in Second Life, nor have I asked anyone else to do so. They like having fun and want to share their enjoyment. And just so you know the facts, since youve never bothered to come out and try it (btw, I have played skunk, kinda fun, but single player)..... Last night my SL balance started at 503L. At the end of the night it was 173L with me oweing someone 1900L. And its not because your playing against the house, your not. Its because im just too day nice. I dont do it for dwell. We spend any money we do make on buying the land around us so players have less lag and more enjoyable time. Three lindens stopped by last night alone to say great job and how they enjoyed it. So if its a business, please tell me where im susposed to be makign money, since: I dont sell the tables. I give rake back to the players at random. I use any proceeds to make the game environment better. _____________________

BLUE is a great sim in which to spend your money!
Uhm. And by the way blaze, Texas Holdem : /invalid_link.html Land Baron Postal Serice : /120/97/23641/1.html GOM pimpin thread : /invalid_link.html Another 3rd party advertisement : /invalid_link.html Props to the club: /invalid_link.html Dolls for sale! Get your dolls! /120/16/23543/1.html Employment request : /invalid_link.html Hey, some personal attacks? They get to stay. /invalid_link.html /invalid_link.html Making fun of the special Olympics, a-ok, it stays. /invalid_link.html But interesting something called "SKUNK" money is moved. Why is the word skunk a problem? Because it's also a type of weeeed man. _____________________

Sure casanova, if its new.
I dont post about each poker event, because its not new then, but if you just opened a new bingo place, sure. its a social gathering, its something new in second life, its a place to go have fun. If something unusual happens at a session, come back and let us know about that too. The more interactive reports we have about the world, the better things are. Maybe we need a forum called "Current Events" or "Last night in SL" or something. _____________________

Yes Sens, I'd would like to see posts about your Bingo events more than I would like to see posts about petitions to kick someone out of the community. But that thread about Alby didn't get removed either.
pandastrong, if you make something that takes $L's it's a business. Even if you make something that you GIVE AWAY, it's related to economics. So any objects, scripts, services, clothes in "New in Second Life" is an advertisement but only some get to stick around. Y'know, I thought that "Classifieds" thread was requested by the residents so we could post threads without any discussion. Not so some pushy mod can move a 'few' threads they don't like. _____________________

Not all business make money just look at the Airlines. |

Also, the rules for the forum do not say you cannot discuss a business. At least not in Danial Linden's post.
So if a business is NEW to second life, then let it be here if its a discussion of it, because its something that affects SL as a whole. Now if its just a sale advertisment, sure, use classifieds If its a discussion though of the business, let them discuss it. Grey line possible? Of course. _____________________

Then please don't whine when you enter the grayline area of the forums and individuals call you on it.
Remember, you are advertising a BUSINESS, your attitude on these forums can make or break your clientele. _____________________

Actually im not advertising anything
If folks come out to play, thats fantastic, and Ill deal for them. I usually go 3-5 hours a session because they are having fun. If noone showed up, that would be ok with me too, cause i have other things to code or work on or classes to give, etc. Its not a business to me, its just a place for people to get together and have fun. _____________________
