I'm not sure the fact that "Trout really appreciates" pics of nude avatars is one he'd like bandied about to the populace at large....


Are you kidding? Trout himself bandies this about. It's the heart and soul of his highly successful Slut Rating scam.

I'd say that I was amazed that so many women line up to send him saucy pictures of themselves (and with no L$200 payment, either)...except that I'm one of them. Why do we do it? Because Trout sends us ratings that make us feel appreciated and cherished.

200 Lindens = US$1.06 and you get my email addy so you can spam me....sounds like a great deal to me.

Hmmm. 50 lindens, or 50 Lindens? Could make a BIG difference... :D

I dont know what the actual answer is.. I just know LLs response was at best...flaccid.
From: Solomon Devoix
That's a very good way to put it, and now I know why we still haven't seen the promised blog entry...

...the Lindens are still waiting for their shipment of Lie-agra to come in to firm up their flaccid reasoning.

phishing scam?

I have seen several of these solicitations, and I always send them an IM explaining that I am leary of giving my email address to a "researcher" who is anonymous. If the institutional affiliations are true, then please respond to me from an email address that's at least in the university's domain namespace.

I never get any replies to this.

I think people are "researching" how many email addresses you will hand over to them!

sad part is, plenty of people still would probably fall for this.. especially for 200L, that's like a diamond ring worth of camping hours :P

this thread has [insert magic word here] written all over it, I love it.

Or they'll have you spend those 90-minutes inworld filling out surveys or camping or looking at advertisements, maybe all cleverly disguised as a club.

If they actually just wanted images, they only need to go to Flickr or Snapzilla and do a search for Second Life to find all the AV pics they'd ever want.

Stop spamming. You posted this in two different forums, neither of which it was relevant in. I'm sure you posted it other places too, but I only saw two.
