Aristotle - the Finale :)

It protects Linden Lab by leaving you as the target. No, it doesn't really protect you, though it could be better to have it than to not have it. If there is misinformation about what the service does, it actually puts you in a worse position- if you knew the flaws in the system, you might decide the best way to protect yourself is to not provide adult content at all.

To be fair to LL, Amity, they didn't stop the discussion - Millie did, and she's only a resident. She said it's "vile" and "out of respect for the deceased" she locked the original thread. That's what I have an issue with - Millie deciding that she she didn't like the topic, so she locked it. Someone in the second thread agreed with Millie's view, but thought that she shouldn't have locked it just because of that, so Millie got reported.

The reasons that Millie gave after that were just excuses, imo, because it had been pointed out that locking a thread for the reason she gave was wrong.

I've just had a look at the forum Guidelines and I was wrong to repost the thread after it had been locked - and I did it twice. I should have given the threads different titles because the discussion itself is a good one, imo. I did the same with Ciaran's thread a couple of days ago - the one about the MOTD. Millie locked that one because of something that was in it, but the discussion was a good one, so I reposted it. I actually thought it might have been locked for censorship at the time. If Millie was moderating here in practise, she could easily have PMed me after that repost, pointing me to the forum guidelines.

Anyway, she did what I suggested - left it to a Linden - and I'm content with that. If a Linden says words to the effect of "Thou shalt not discuss that topic here", I'll accept the censorship - and leave this forum.

Agreed...I'm just waiting for SL to finally be safe for all the amish out there to come enjoy.

Ibtb!

You do not have to use Aristotle was my point, unless the land specifically states 'ban all except age verified.'

You can also use 'account verified' to access adult land such as in Zindra, (if the land owner allows this), and that is per Linden Labs' rules. In other words I did absolutely nothing wrong.

Zindra does not allow teleport unless you are either age verified or account verified. I had to be one or the other, to get in.

Account verified means payment info on file/in use such as premium member, which I am. Hope that clears it up.

Agreed you did nothing wrong as I said. Though I think LL just hands off your data to Aristotle.

No, they don't. LL doesn't have the data Aristotle asks for, SSN, DL or Passport #. If you give them a CC number for Payment Info, then you have access to the Adult Continent.

Gah I thought they were gonna stop that. >_< Great I had my first card at 13.

What if you'r stealing the identity of a non-existant person though?

I don't really care too much if the threads keep getting removed, as long as the messsage sinks in to LL that they have a problem with a verfication system that is so easily bypassed.

Then it's not identity theft. In one of the threads, someone mentioned using Google Earth to get a street name and town, invent a street number, and use any old name, etc. No real people, living or dead, need come into it. It's creating an identity, not using someone else's.

Can't really answer the question as it's phrased - Lol (the above is not possible).

You might be charged with 'falsifying information' if the person behind pursuing that were really interested.

I think people should take the 'agrees to have all info sent to the person's govt to be checked' part at the bottom, a bit more seriously. Cos ya just never know.

I suppose they could sned a court summons to an infinite free disposable alt when they found out there wasn't any Darth Popsicle DL# 1234567 living at 69 Main Street, Shelbyville

*shakes fist* Damn you why did you steal my identity?

i thought you lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane...

Wow, using the information of the undead......that's really low.

I would guess they could charge you under the same hacking law that they charged that Facebook mom under. Might be stretch, but the right or wrong US Attorney might run with it.

If they are in the US....in bed.

Of course we are talking about people in the US.

What about zombie creds? Are those ok to use??

Like, you know, they're dead but not really. Same with vampires too, I guess.

I would send my unholy army of the undead to teach him a lesson but he is only listed using my address - grrrr!!!

*laughs* I always admired Lily for putting up with the rest of them.

Most of my SL friends aren't even in the US. ID Fraud isn't a US thing it's a world thing.

Well it could be worse, you could find out there really has been a Darth Popsicle living in your attic for the last 10 years

However all Aristotle asks is that the information is "True" it does not ask if the information is yours or belongs to you, therefore imo Aristotle needs you to declare that the information is yours and it is you that is submitting it

It is all around the wording that Aristotle uses when you verify.

And I should worry about you or your friends because?
