This is what LL claim to be doing with Age Verification. Well how about they lead by example. Why doesn't every Linden now put their real name, age, sex and location at the top of their 'in world' profile?

I would be willing to bet that if they did that this whole issue would disappear.

Like the gambling ban, this is not being done by choice. They are trying to protect the company from being shut down for legal reasons.

Maybe the issue will disappear once we stop making new threads about it.

Name and approximate location is really all you need. With that you can get all the rest for a minimal fee from a number of services on the internet.

Seeing this, the Sheriff removes his badge, takes a slug of whiskey, saddles up his crab and rides sideways out of town.

Where-upon, just like the crab in SL, the crab flips over and the former sheriff is dragged out of town by an upside down crab.

And, in the ultimate of ironies, his cousins skittle out and pick the meat off my carcass.

As chairman of the welcoming committee, it's a pleasure to present a laurel, and hardy handshake to our new .............crab.

For several weeks now I've been looking for an animated crab along the lines of Yersinia, my adorable rat. I think I'll have to wait until this meme has died out of the forums. What are the odds of that ever happening?

Happy Friday! :D

Only a crazy person is going to put their real name first and last and the city they live in on their profile.

ANYONE can find you then.



The other stuff I can see people displaying.

I can see city you live in even but not combined with full name.

To be fair, I can see corporate leaders of known megacorporations placing their identity in the public domain, since it is essentially already there. otoh, I can't see them as being the actual player behind the avatar - that's what employees are for after all.

True, it will be crazy, but some people will do it, I think.
