What are your qualifications?

:lol: No experience - never been an alt before but for the right non-alt I can be bitter, snidey , hurtful and say all those things you really want to say but need an alt to do so , I can bitch and troll, flame - I can occasionally be funny and amusing but deep down I can be embittered and and nasty so much you'll really want to disown me , I'm very happy to post personal details about people you've had a slight disagreement sometime in the passed and can promise you'll never get traced through me. Becuase that's the fun of being an alt .. no come back , and being cruel, uncaring and indifferent to anyone I want, just because I can ....

hmmm... thinking about no .. I don't want the job anymore :(

I am not arguing that she may not have taken the best approach, I am saying she wasn't the only guilty party. I am also saying the way Cristiano wants to handle these situations is nothing more than to "show off" IMO and an invasion of privacy. In my opinion he handles it poorly and like I said, so what if she is an alt, it's no one's business and most certainly not the admins job to "confirm" it or track down her IP to prove her guilt or innocence then announce it in the forums... then threaten to ban her and only her, THEN announce she has been banned. Give me a break! Why couldn't he have IMed her or just banned her? No... got to be Mighty Mouse and enjoy an applause.

If you enjoy the way the forums are ran, that is your choice, but if SLU wants a good reputation and people to feel comfortable and trustworthy of his forums, he needs to learn a different approach.


You left out the part about how at SLU, once you are banned, the admin does not lock the thread and let's everyone call that person names until he feels like locking it.

I think the problem at SLU is not the admin, but the Lieutenant that thinks he runs the place...and obviously does. You can't have cows running a farm...it just doesn't work. And you can't have Lieutenants running the Pentagon...that's not a good idea.

From: Cristiano Midnight
I think he is recalling the Lexi Morgan thread bashing you that was not in fact posted by Lexi Morgan, but someone pretending to be her. You didn't match, the only similarity was it came from a work computer in the Denver area, but it was not a match. I stated multiple times that the post did not come from you based upon matching, though Lexi did accuse you once finding out it came from Denver. There was no connection proven, however.


Too much information. Way too much. But I think you just proved an important point. It makes me wonder what information you share with the other member of your clique about the posters at SLUniverse.

Consider yourself BUSTED IN SL (Forums) :cool:

Why, when your site has been down for about a year, are you still pimping it in your siggy, babes?

Exactly the same kind of stuff you do at SLU.
A good reason why people should ignore those forums and a good reason to ignore you.

Obviously you are always right. I have a real life to enjoy, so you can keep refreshing, reading, and posting. I'll see you around...not.

Enjoy running your forums!

I enjoy SLU.

If others don't there are other forums.

That's all I have to say about it.

Wait, Cris is hawt and keeps things fairly level with minimal moderation.

There, that's all.

You mean, when people started referring to you as Crystal Meth because your lunatic ravings?

In your initial post at SLU you basically said "you all suck" and when people took issue with that you got increasingly ugly. The forum owner is not obligated to give you a platform for your bile. You are always free to find an audience elsewhere. To try to derail Cristiano's thread as if you were "blowing the lid off" something--well, it's tasteless and a bit like an investigative journalist who writes her column in crayon--untrustworthy.

Srsly ppl, the fact that Crystal was banned is a SELLING POINT for SLU.

qft.

Combined with her activities here Cris really did everyone a favor. She's a nasty individual and one I'm glad I don't have to deal with.

SLU is the first forum I have ever really felt welcomed in and a part of. Within a day or two of posting, FlipperPA who I have always looked up to as a huge SLebrity was sharing music with me. Everyone was just nice to me in a way I have never seen in the official forums. Here, it feels like everyone (including me) is on a mission to beat each other down and belittle each other. Every thread feels like a battle to one up the next guy until the res mod comes in without warning and locks you.
At SLU, the only reason it may feel like a clique is because theres fewer posters so people tend to remember each other and get to know each other quickly. But what people calling it a clique fail to realize, is that within a few days of posting there Your welcomed in with open arms to that clique unless You pull a Crystal and come in talking down to everyone. Honestly if You walked up to group of people in a bar, called them a names and made rude homophobic remarks, would You expect a nice reaction?
Another great thing about SLU.. Unlike here the bans and locks are very VERY very rare and Cristiano gives a fair warning to everyone before he does. Generally several warnings, so if You get banned You really had it coming and were given every chance to make it right before You were. He also listens to everyones concerns and issues and changes the forum any way he can to suit the posters and make them all happy. Whens the last time You had a complaint or suggestion here at the official forums and received and immediate response if any at all? For example some people didn't care for the fact that you could only have 150 private messages. Cristiano listened to peoples needs and raised it to 1000.

I think the people here who are talking down about SLU have not given it a good try or are just bitter because they did really nasty things and were banned. SLU is filled with smart funny kind welcoming members, and When You talk badly and dishonestly about it I feel like Your pissing in my home and I don't like it.

Cris had to flick a temporary tool on because SLU was getting hit with comment spam. It unfortunately tends to mess with some internet connections and is responsible for the javascript/Safari errors I believe. The tool is off now so you guys should be good to go.

Cristiano, you are going to have to make a new thread, this one has been poisoned.

This is one big private discussion. Cristiano, Sensual & Crystal, the SL Forums are not the venue for private disputes. Joshua, you know better. You may be able to get away with this crap elsewhere but not here.

Action: Lock
Source: Wandering
Reason: Private Discussion & Flaming/Trolling

Forum Guidelines
Private discussions – the forums are a public area for the Second Life community’s use. Individuals who have a dispute with each other have other channels of communication to discuss their differences or communicate – private messaging, IM within Second Life, or chatting within Second Life. Also, threads that are addressed to a single individual or group are inappropriate on the forums, this includes slander or "naming names" in a posts title, starting polls about a particular resident or group, etc.
Flaming, Spamming, Trolling – Flaming (posting a message that is intended to incite anger or directly attack a person or persons), Spamming (multiple posts of the same topic or discussion), and Trolling (a post with an intentionally contrary opinion written with the intent of inciting or getting argumentative opinions) are strongly discouraged. If you think your post might be over-reactive, or that it might fall into one of these definitions, please reconsider posting.


I'm not being unprofessional, I'm trying out Transparency. It's been suggested I should try it out.
