Ok, recently there has been talk of people advertising DJ events and such in the live music search, well today I saw this:

"FOR THE ULTIMATE BASEBALL FAN!
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL SCRIPTED WELCOME MATS

What makes our Welcome Mats different from all the others in Second Life? They are scripted so that you can add your own personal message to greet your family and friends. For all of your welcome mat needs; we have over 100 styles to choose from. Custom mats are available for special occasions and holidays. Have a favorite sports team, we can make those too. You dream it we can make it. Businesses have a special logo. We can make your mat in any color and size. We also make matching flags to go with any mat.
Come on down to Welcome Mats-R-Us by Samantha to see what your door step and flag pole has been missing. Send an IM to Samantha xxxxxxx (omitted) for more information.



and yet another one...

"Teacher: Bracken XXXXXXX (omitted)
Class Runner: Johnius xxxxxxx (omitted) - RUS

Come to class at ESL SL with your questions about English: words, text, expressions, slang, idioms and grammar.
Experienced, native-language teachers will explain what words and phrases mean and how to use them. It's a new method to learn and improve your English skills built to suit Second Life.

Cost: 500L$ (1.3 euro; 1.9US$; 215YEN)
First class is free.

There were more.. but you get the idea..

WTF!

Ok, I know there is debate about the DJ events and whatnot, but why are these non music events allowed?!?!??!?


I can no longer find the music I so love on second life because of all the garbage like this!
Who watches these listings?? Who's napping on the job?!?!?!?

Two Letters: A. R.

They are clearly spamming and should be reported (not that LL will do anything).

This is going on in Educational Events also, and probably every other events section. This is probably one of the reasons for the new search flagging system the Linden's are developing.
