From: VooDoo Bamboo Oh NOW I remember why I no longer come to this useless forum and why the SLX forums get much more respect in the way of SL. Thanks for reminding me! Hello and thank you for the random post to tell us why you don't post here. Now, goodbye.

This has been a bad year for my buddy, the bookie investment ad-farmer who had a thing for Japanese schoolgirl AVs.

From: Sling Trebuchet I think that what you mourn is the illusion of freedom. QFT. That pretty much sums it up for me. Squirting out craptastic eyesores intended to extort money from nearby residents SHOULD be criminalized. I would rather have this small increase in content restriction than continue to be victimized by asshats whose business model is centered on causing grief for others. |

From: Talarus Luan Wow. Someone else who uses "hyperbolic" in a most appropriate way.  <3 I don't think that is the case at all. The vast majority of ARs being issued right now are against a double-handful of people who have literally been asking for a kick in the pants for a LONG time now. OK, so now they are getting EXACTLY what they've been asking for. For those folks, there is no worry about "grey area". LL can feel free to act with impunity against them, and close out swaths of ARs in one go. The rest are still violating the letter or maybe even the spirit of the rule. That leaves LL to decide which side of any "grey area" they land on, and act accordingly. In the end, an AR is just an AR. It's a request to deal with what a resident perceives as a problem. It's just a "hey come look at this! Is this against the rules or what?". If it really isn't a problem, then I hope they take the time to explain to the resident why it isn't a problem, and then move on to the next report. I agree with the double handful idea here, in more ways than one..... It is likely that 90 per cent of the "problem" will be cured by dealing with 10 per cent of the worst "offenders". It might even be a 99:1 ratio. I cannot imagine for one second that LL would commit themselves to a lifetime of dealing with ARs on ad-farms if they did not have a fairly simple, quick and easy strategy. |

From: Alice Katayama Yes just another step down the long slope, we lost the ability to rape and murder, to plunder and steal, Orbit people at will anywhere, to Capture roleplay even with unwilling avatars, to crash sims at will, to set up Gambling places in which you could never have to pay out anything to the winners, to partake in child porn or even regular porn in PG areas, to open Financial institutions with no accountability to anyone and at last today we lost the ability to extort huge sums of money out of our neighbors and friends. This is truly a Black day... I think it rates two crocodile tears. I love you. (lmfao..this was the greatest mini-speech ever) |

From: Ralph Doctorow THIS STATEMENT INSULTS CROCODILES!!! My most sincere apologies to Crocodiles and Politicians. Lovers of freedom should realize that the moment man first walked out of his cave and met another man (or woman) that their freedom to do anything was very much compromised, for one to be completely free the other had to lose their freedom or their life, the only alternative is to climb right back in your cave. Freedom is not a blanket right to abuse anyone you please. Your freedom to grief another person involves a loss of freedom on their part and if it involves a “witch hunt” to regain some of the dignity and self respect otherwise lost, well, that is the cost of being human.

Not to mention that there is only the freedom that our landlords and governement, LL, choose to give us. Want more freedom? Build your own Second Life system, host it on your computers and servers, and then you can make all the rules.

But make sure you do it in international waters... or better yet, in outer space... and who knows... you might still be in violation of some unknown intergalactic laws or restrictions.  -- Be prepared to pay the price for doing what you want. |

I just bought a place in RL just because of the yard and the acoustic effect of the trees. So I can't set off bottlerockets and play bagpipes in my underwear 24/7? Did not know that. I am very annoyed right now.

From: Qie Niangao Well put. There's no more restriction to being an Estate owner than to owning Mainland: just cough up the cash. One is perfectly free to make one's island an adfarmers' paradise--and nobody will even complain. In one of my wandering phases, I found at least one private island that was set up for adfarmers. I do not recall where that was, though, and it was before my picture taking craze.

Love ya, Troutie, but I'm afraid the temptations would be too much. I can't argue with this. I wouldn't even try to resist the temptation. I would relentlessly grief people with naked bagpipe renditions of Barry Manilow songs.

Maybe I could get a pet monkey and dress him up like a doorman, then have him hop around with a tin cup taking donations. Pay enough and I might leave. Wait. Perfect idea! I buy a bunch of 16's (I hear the market is flooded). Then I put an alt on each one, playing the bagpipes at full throttle. The neighboring landowners can either deal with it or pay me 25,000L per 16 to sell them the land and leave. I'll call it "Pipe-farming". I'll be rich!
