Wonder how many more stolen skins will end up as "freebies" now.

I desperately want to write a letter from the Lindens that begins, Dear Notorious Person...


But, I'll just say that this is a good thing, both that there were consequences for the thief and that LL was on the lookout for alts and kept her out. She'll probably be back eventually, but it's nice to know that they took enough interest to go beyond just wrecking her main account.

I desperately want to write the Lindens thanking them for a job well done. We need more excellent action like this.

Adfarms next?

I'm glad they are finally employing some resident help, but I was dismayed that it was targeting areas that are already pretty built up. Barcola? Great road system and even a trolley nearby. They deployed 3 huge continents in the last year, how about showing them some love?

I dunno... Torley has some good photos in her flickr an Snapzilla feed today of traffic bot farms.

This sounds reasonable, and good that is being publicised, though really, nobody should stop protesting - it does not say anything at all about more general issues and may be coincidence.

Two irritating points that prevent me from publicising this:

1. No link available to the article itself;

2. Stupid "no right click" code on the site irritating me when trying to find one. I could, with immense ease, but frankly, if you put that sort of rubbish on your site it does not deserve to be publicised, and in fact you deserve ridicule generally.

In addition to that, that website displays the public IP address of everyone that wants to comment there :(

It's a good thing that LL did something in this case and I applaud them for it, though I suspect that this person will not find it terribly difficult to continue under another guise, and that is horribly unfortunate.

I just can't understand the attitudes of people that would blatantly rip off a *real* content creator, and tell such obvious lies about it. It's completely beyond me.
