Personal attacks are not appropriate in the forums.
Forum Guidelines state: "Flaming, Spamming, Trolling – Flaming (posting a message that is intended to incite anger or directly attack a person or persons), *Spamming (multiple posts of the same topic or discussion),* and Trolling (a post with an intentionally contrary opinion written with the intent of inciting or getting argumentative opinions) are strongly discouraged. If you think your post might be over-reactive, or that it might fall into one of these definitions, please reconsider posting."
It is not appropriate to name names in the SL Forums. If you have a problem with an individual or business, the SL Forums is not the place to make accusations.
Thank you,

Hi, I am very active in Second Life and for the most part I love it - despite some issues with instability and service disruptions.
However, I have had some extremely unpleasent personal experiences when I have left SL to venture into third-party websites designed to take your money outside of SL.
I am concerned about a website called ------- Names removed by Katt Linden -------------
They are basically money changers, who also sell products which can be transferred into the SL envrionment.
They are owned------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- , who apparently may use third-world labor to alledgedly try to undercut the creative community in SL by dumping cheap items under the name ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- ...elaborate although generally uninspired creations that sell for ten lindens... while people working for a living wage MUST charge more to support themselves and their families, and pay taxes.
If you have had problems with this site, including alleged sales of your stolen merchandise, possible harrassment and abuse by ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- staff employees when you have tried to draw attention to problems there, or other issues of a perceived, possibly questionable or unprofessional manner...
PLEASE do the following:
1. Contact me inworld to help document and report aledged concerns
2. Join my group...
------- Names removed by Katt Linden -------------
Search groups or my profile for group information. Membership will always be free, and AT THIS TIME is open to everyone.
3. TELL YOUR FRIENDS how you feel and why.
We will be adding a commercial-grade website to facilitate our activities.
I wish to stress that I am in NO WAY impuning the ethics, character, professionalism or honesty and integrity of ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- owners and employees, nor any other person or entity associated with ------- Names removed by Katt Linden -------------
I further wish to stress that I am ONLY seeking information, and trying to provide people who may have possible issues with ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- a forum outside of the control and censorship of ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- to air their concerns in a possitive, upbeat manner.
I am in NO WAY accusing ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- its owners, members, employees, or oither persons or organizations associated with ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- , with the deliberate sale of stolen merchandise, with fraud or misrepresentation with the intent to cheat shoppers at ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- , and with organized harrassment and/or abuse of people who raise these issues or other concerns and air them publicly.
I am in NO WAY trying to impede the operation of their business nor harm their company or their repiutaion in any way.
I wish to note that ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- provides multiple venues to criticize and grade the sellrs who participate there. I am merely seeking an uncensored means of providing the same service regarding the professional and ethical performance of ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- itself... and am doing so in the same spirit of transparency and buyer education employed by ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- in the critiques they permit of their clients, customers and sellers.
Thank you.

I have had no problems with ------- Names removed by Katt Linden -------------

Wow, I'd forgotten all about the 10L thing. It never really did make a dent in the marketplace at all, did it?

I have had no problems with SLX and I sell and buy things there all the time. In my opinion and experience, you're printing inflammatory and wrong information. Agreed.. And no matter how many times I read it, it just makes no sense to me. None of it. Seriously, if you have that bad of an experience then just don't use it. It isn't required. |

COOKIES, DAMN IT! Well We were overdue for a Bash ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- thread.....got milk  ? _____________________
There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Poddy ... I realy don't want to come across as mean here so i will try more than i normaly would .
If you have a problem you might be better to have set up your website and then informed others about it in Residents sites .... This post will not only bring down a rain of ridicule from fellow residents ( coz after all it is pretty funny ) but by naming names and allso making a point of trying to shine a bad light on ACS ( then adding in a hefty disclaimer in an attempt to backtrack ) you will just end up with a holliday from here for a while .Open your site ... tell others ...and good luck ... "You will need it i think" _____________________

So it's like this sorta, I guess?...
------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- are bad. Some ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- people MIGHT be being forced to make content for SL in sweat shops (sweat shops with computers, no less!). I heard they MIGHT be putting toothpicks in their eyes whenever they start yawning. **_DISCLAIMER FOLLOWS_** I didn't mean that I really think they are bad, I just wanted to go through all the BS involved with creating a website to ask OTHER people if they think that ------- Names removed by Katt Linden ------------- s bad. Makes perfect sense now, eh? Good. Also, I don't mean to insinuate, in any way, that they may actually be propping people's eyes open with toothpicks. Whaddya think I'm crazy or something? Sheesh. _____________________
