I think these lyrics will sum up this topic well, or maybe i'm just mad and like the song?

See the devil on the doorstep now (my oh my)
Telling everybody oh just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back (my oh my)

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We’ve never been so many
And we've never been so alone

[Chorus]
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are

One step forward making two steps back (my oh my)
Riding piggy on the bad boys back for life
Lining up for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
Lining up for the execution
Without knowing why

[Chorus]
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are

It’s all about power then
Take control
Breaking the rule
Breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there’s nothing left
My oh my, my oh my

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We' ve never been so many
And we've never been so alone....

So alone

[Chorus]
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are

It’s all about power then (we are)
Take control (we are)
Breaking the rule (we are, we are)
Breaking the soul (we are)
They suck us dry till there’s nothing left (we are, we are)
My oh my, my oh my

We are
We are (its all )
We are
We are, we are (take control)
We are
We are
It’s all about power
Then take control

Sorry, you're technically right.

I was referring to the page that everyone tends to look at:
Recent Ratings:
Past Past Past
Month 6 Months 12 Months
Positive feedback rating positive 19 114 984

Neutral feedback rating neutral 0 1 10

Negative feedback rating negative 0 0 4



the one thing that does fade away is the tansaction ....you can only view transactions for so many moths then the link goes away but it still shows the transaction and rate.

without guys like Starax S, Lumiere N, Jimmy T, Marcos F, Rickard R, Psyra E, Ferran B, Chip M, Surreal F, Osprey T, Gurgon G, Grim H, or YadNi M, SECOND LIFE WOULD BE A FLAT MAP COVERED WITH PLYWOOD CUBES.




Hey Yadni, I've been here for a while but i don't think i've checked out your super fabulous awesome builds. What do you have in world now that I can go look at? I want to give you the respect you deserve and need.

didn't know that...

Well we're all doomed then...since no one wants to pay 25l to rate someone...

My stippend went from 1550L -> 613L - > 425L (was my last stippend)

Can't complain , i'm trying to earn a little to pay my rent and buy something nice.
Or play Sugar mama for a selected amount of people.

Dude just because Ebay uses it does mean it is right for this community. Also my point is more about Lindens not listening to our collective voice.


They did in a way though. When the 1st stipend change based on ratings was announced, a lot of oldbies were all for it.

Actually Kris even I have gotten disintrested.

I have posted time and again about this happening in the past yet when it does the world cries and moans "Whooa is me". It's really dicerning to say the least.

Oddly enough I stay so busy in game I rarely ever think about the forums when I am at home. Here at work I can pull em up and flash through em inbetween breaks.

But lately, with all the changes the unanimous bellyaching about loosing money and rates and on and on it's becomming quite a bore to be honest.

When there are a multitude of topics of equal importance people snarf by them and go directly to the drama threads funny huh?

Oh well, maybe its time I do like I used to and create between breaks at work and ignore the forums as nothing will get resolved.

People will continue to attack people and never truly address the problems at hand like they used to.

There is always an alterior motive and someone is always out to create drama instead of addressing the subject matter that truly needs to be discussed.

On top of that no one really pays much attention to my posts anyway so Im wasting a lot of eletronic space in even typing anything anymore. Might as well save people the extra roll of the mouse scroll to by past a post written by me.

So carry on if you want Kris, I am kinda at the point of "What's the point who's listening anyway."

Sincerely, Shadow Weaver

Me too, which is why I can only be bothered to troll instead of adding any sensible input :p

Reputations and Ratings
02-17-2005 10:48
I’ve been in this World a long time, more than most and not as long as some, but by SL standards, I’m a very old woman.

I’ve seen a lot of disruptions and had my share of heart aches. Hell, who hasn’t?

The positive ratings that we gave away freely when they were affordable have now been cut significantly, this affords me personally no pleasure. *sighs*

Interesting note: the way I read the reductions... unless your a massive PITA with a lot of negative ratings... your neg ratings will always remain the same while the postive ratings you recieved and gave (and hopefully earned) dissipate every 6 months (until they too bottom out into the low numbers)?

I don’t pretend to be an angel. I won’t tell you I didn’t deserve some of my poor ‘grades’ (apparently I’ve the reputation for being one helluva stone cold b****). I will say what is fair is fair reduce them all to base levels, or don’t reduce any. Give some of us a chance to please get out from under the neg ratings that were given to us months ago by people no longer in the game :( .

I’m certainly hoping this was an oversight? :cool:

Mae they go away just depends on how long ago you got them. Mine were well over 18 months ago and they are all gone now along with a lot of other rates that were from sincere friends that are no longer with us. Those meant more to me than anything. But I digress and I hope that answers your question as those rates should go away in the next few months.
