Most Important Things NOT to do in SL

Don't treat noobs like children ... remember in RL they may be more adult than you

DON'T

- Go to Rausch without a GOOD shield.

- Go to Gor without a visitor tag.

- Diss the Goreans, even WITH a visitor tag.

- Go to Isle of Lesbos in a male avatar

- Fly up into the sky to find out what those two funny green dots are doing in that skybox.

- Trigger a gesture called "Superdance" given to you by a friendly stranger.

- Give any money to an SL "bank", "savings and loan", "stock market exchange" or other similar financial institution. No matter what kind of interest rate they offer.

- Put a rezzer inside a rezzer to see what will happen.

- Use the freebie spray/steam script "Sarah's Mist" in a small, enclosed space.

Don't bring the contents of http://icanhascheezburger.com/ in-world! OK seriously, can somebody please explain this cute cat pictures that has poor English captions fad thing that's going around? Please??

DON'T

Think all those particle effects and gestures are fun and exciting for the rest of us. We've probably seen them all a thousand times before and just find them annoying.

Its existed since /b/ began.. it is awesome

I think I kinda started it here today tho... oops

EDIT:: And theya re called lolcats

finally!
for the life of me I could not remember the name of that website

been wanting to check it out (the pics are cute but do get old quick)

just more curiosity to see what the site is all about

edit: OMG I have to say some of those pics are adorable
(the captions are annoying, in that painful butchered english) but the cats are soooo cuuuuttteee)

yes I love the cats

Don't fall asleep at the keyboard with your hand on the mouse.... I couldn't tell you how many times I've picked up a portion of my house doing that.

it is quite literally just all about lolcats.. make your own, view others... yeah.. and i've been reading tons today.. like.. 80 pages of them >.>

DONT walk around with woody attached asking for dates
DONT tip a total stranger then strike up a conversation with sexual overtones
DONT just stand there like a statue looking at someone, put your 'busy' sign on so they don't get the wrong idea
DONT shoot at me or you may get me pissed at you (same goes with shooting at other people
DONT go peeking into private property, you may get an eye full, and they may like their privacy
DONT use weapons in non combat zones
DONT go around begging for money, either GET A JOB...or use your credit card
DONT ask me a lot of personal questions about my RL
DONT insult someone you don’t know... for that matter don’t insult someone you DO know
DONT discriminate against furries (I happen to have friends who are furry)
DONT leave your trash lying around, your mother doesn’t work here, and neither does mine
DONT be a whiner, nobody likes to hear whining
DONT feed the greifers with responses, it only fuels their egos (put them on mute, and report them instead)
DONT buy a non transferable Item then try to give it to that special friend
DON’T use too many ROTFLOL, LOL, and SMILES as fillers in a conversation (like I do)
DONT ask where all the DO’s went... I DONT know...

I think one of the first cat internet OMGZ things...had a kitten with a rifle pointed out a window stating, "PWNED!"

That's the first one I saw years back. I think it originated encompassing FPS games.

that is one of the oldest yeah ^_^

with it are the original tankcat, drillcat, happycat, and the I can has cheezburger!? cat that the site is named after

Don't assume the man/woman your using your excite parts/pose balls with is actually a man/woman.

Learn to laugh at yourself when you make mistakes.

Can't stress the backup your builds/name them post!

Learn to laugh at others only when they are laughing too.

If you see a person who is wearing SL clothes or has SL hair, let them know! Most will appreciate that!! Don't sit back and laugh at them..

SL police are not actually SL police

Protect yourself in a sandbox

Take the "hands on head" pose out of your AO.

Be kind and you will usually be treated kindly, and if they don't treat you in kind. laugh at them, it's ok.

DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (revised)Tip the live musicians you like, and tip well. And don't forget to tip the venue..

20L is very cheap and an insult as a tip.. (hehe) The dancers get mad...

1000L is too much for an outfit (100% MHO)

Don't impulse buy, you'll probably find it cheaper somewhere else.

Don't assume your BF/GF won't be bitter when you breakup in SL.

Don't assume everyone cares you're getting married in SL..

DON'T GO INTO PEOPLES PRIVATE HOMES AND USE THEIR POSEBALLS!!

When at a live music venue type / before your text then others wont hear the clatter of your typing. But don't Forget that might trigger a audio file.....


off the top of my head.

*sigh*. What does /b/ mean?

Don't login when tipsy.

{{cannot resist . . resist . . resist dang it . . .}}

While it is good to play with your mice, it is better to remember to eat them before falling asleep.

I've been trying to figure out for a long time why I sometimes see people say stuff like "Hello E/everyone" and the like. It happens too often to be a slip of the fingers.

Don't assume all of people on your friend list are available to talk whenever you see them online.
When instant messaging a friend, make sure you ask them if they have time to visit or chat before going on for hours chatting them up because you'll just being annoying or talking to yourself.

don't whatever you do

don't go to that site
ARGH
but at least it kills time waiting for the grid to come back up

my god some of these are cute, and not all are cats but most are

I will be stuck here forever!!

someone save me from the kitties!!!

(and god help me if I read too many and start talking like the captions) LOL

a whole new language of SL

<off-topic>
If you see a capped/uncapped greeting you can reasonably assume that person is into BDSM. Online, Dominants tend to be addressed as capped and submissives as (regular) uncapped.
</off-topic>

Don't show me an ultrasound photo of your prim baby and expect me to coo.

Or when coming down off a caffeine binge.

My two NOTS:

Don't ever set your land to ANYONE if you don't want anyone to be able to buy it. Just because the sim is empty does not mean the coast is clear, for those of you unaware of landbots.

Don't ever abandon land. Just sell it for slighly less than the going rate on the first page of mainland land search.

They'd be DOs, rather than DON'Ts

Add: DON'T forget you can turn the whole typing noise off in the Client / Debug menu by setting the Play typing animation to false

YES DO TIP THEM!! my bad!! Very important !! TY

; ))

Dont gaze at pron on sl

don't DJ drunk

don't hate
