Not anymore. Forum rules changed effective right this minute. (9/9/09) You are no longer allowed to discuss any topic that does not pertain to Second Life. And disciplinary actions in the Second Life forums can apply to your access to Second Life. In fact being banned from the Second Life forums can now result you your being banned from Second Life.


Do you have a source for that?

I hope you're joking - it would be draconian to ban someone for saying they thought someone else talked too much.

You forgot to add being banned from selling on Xstreet too, some may think that's a blessing though.

It is no joke. I expect LL to make a blog announcement soon regarding the new commerce section on the blogs. The new posting guidelines are a part of that process. When all these things were announced on xstreet they also stated these forums would be closing down as well and converted to blog-o-forums along with the xstreet forums being shuttered today.

Here is the new policy announcement:

https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2009/02/25/second-life-discussion-guidelines

From: someone
No Off-Subject Posting. Do not post discussions into blogs or forums that are clearly designed for other discussions. The Second Life blogs and forums are specifically divided into separate channels and subject categories. And, do not post on subjects that do not relate to Second Life.


See the part about "And, do not post on subjects that do not relate to Second Life."?

Lol.Ty for responding to my post in an offhand manner. Knew someone would eventually get an itch and reply in kind.

Well, that's a blow.
Well, very quickly than as pertaining to sl and this thread,

"I'd like to thank the Linden Academy for this lovely award for being one of the most wasteful avatars in sl. It's been a hard grind but, along the way, I have kept my inner beauty intact. I have no one to thank for this but myself and my "real" Jig who has worked so hard and tirelessly to support me over the years. Without her help, I wouldn't have been in so many wonderful independent threads or be known as "Jig the Teh" to so many of the little people out there who adore me."

I understood that all those rules are already in the ToS/Guidelines . . .

Wow i am so bummed out.

First i get no mention in the back-patting "peoples whose post you just LOVE to read thread" (or whatever it was titled). And then i get passed over for this honor as well.

I am such a lou-zer. :confused: :mad: :(

:( /me is sorry - since that was mine - I do read your posts - and have been curious as to what the little tea ball looking thing is, btw...

~~~~

So- with my ridiculous post count, I would like to mention, Ileft my dishes done, my floors swept and my mom's lunch made before I headed out today- SO THERE! OP - brave soul....

My kitchen sink is always clean. But I roll that way. :)


Snickers, I LOVE your sig. Just had to click it and head over to Xstreet. The evil talking tummy and Octomom Avatar are priceless! While there I picked up the gold and black crushed velvet dress. :)

See, reading the forums is informational, and accommodates shopping. A bit of multi-tasking. ;)

FWIW, I didn't think the OP was an alt of yours. First person who came to mind, in fact, was someone I was disagreeing with in another thread. Scylla was also in that same thread (and disagreeing on some of the same things I was), which was the main active one at the time, and which (to me) lends credence to my first instinct. Scylla and I were quickly both targeted in the useless thread in question. But, it could be anybody.



Wow, were you referring to me here? You and I were disagreeing in those 2 other threads, but before I say anything, I have to just ask if you were referring to me in the above statement. If you weren't, no need for me to say anything else.

Maybe it's because those singled out were nasty to the OP... you're nasty to everyone! :p


Bri's never been nasty to me...I don't think. She's cool at any rate!

I don't think anybody would believe you could even *pretend* not to be nice, Treasure!

I should hope not. Treasure seems to be waaaaay too sane to be the OP.

Perhaps you are spending way too much time wondering who the person or rather person's are. Let it go already. I already know two comments were directed at me,since those very comments were made about me in another post a few days ago. Whatever lol.

Clarissa and I were disagreeing in those threads and that is why I am asking. YOu are right, I AM to sane to create an alt for a forum post. That is REALLY hurtful, if true *IF* true, because Clarissa and I have had no problems in the past and I've often supported her here. At this point without knowing any different, I can only hope she was disagreeing with someone else also, and that she was not referring to me. Will have to wait to hear that from her though. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though. I wish there was a way to prove it.

Yes, if anything thinks it's me too, because I don't like Scyalla's stuff, it's not.. I have enough balls to disagree publicly and in my own name.

Thank you, I AM 'nice'. Pep did you read these new forum posting rules and regs?

https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2009/02/25/second-life-discussion-guidelines

I wondered, because you always say you are different inworld than in the forums, and LL appears to disagree with that assessment, in general. Those are some pretty intense rules and regs.

I'm sorry, Lorena, I just don't roll like that. Thanks for the advice, and yes maybe these things matter to me more than they should, but I just feel there's a way to get my point across without being confrontational to everyone that addresses me. So yeah I do care. That's just me, and I'm ok with it, but thanks anyway.

ROFL.Creating an alt signifies one is a NUT? Pray tell how so? There are numerous reasons for a person to create a forum alt. Why deny them the right to do so? How does it affect you and why does it bother you so much? That is the real issue here.Not the fact that some may or may not have one.


Is it fear based? Are you,as one person put it, A BUSYBODY?.Personally I could care a less who is an alt or not. Has nothing to do with my SL,and doesn't affect me negatively.
Alllow people the right to do as they wish,and stop wanting to control everyone. That is next to impossible for any human being to do. Be careful what you say of another,therein you will find the truth of yourself.Giggles.
