RC Questions

All of them-

one to hold the lightbulb upside-down, and the rest to crash the grid.

^V^

I did a little checking...I buy full perm from a few creators for animations for my builds.

1. Sinamations no longer carries adult animations only cuddles
2. Abranamations are on an estate they will have to flag as adult
3. Bits and Bobs will have to flag also if they continue to sell adult animations
4. Essensual designers Unlimited will have to apply for the swap or stop selling adult animations. as well as their main store.
5. Xcite will have to flag
Out of these 5 only one is eligible and has to move.....maybe there WILL be room for the swap!
I wonder how many more will have to do the swap?

If there was another lower cost choice to Xstreet would you use that instead to sell your goods?

Of course.....SL posted record earnings $350 mill...I think they have enough

I totally agree there

Sent you an IM when you get time

If you are in the writing game, then you know that is a load.

You put something in quotes, followed by the person's name. This is a clear indication of a quote.

Something that is paraphrased should be clearly marked as such, which if you are in the writing game, you of course know. Telling the reader that we should assume quotations are paraphrased text unless you say they are actuals, will get you an failing grade in any sixth grade English Comp., class.

Nice try though ... but in this case, you just made it up, and aren't tactful enough to admit it.

you may not be vicious, but you're certainly tenacious

VL is a pedantess and shes sweet really

Except for the people who have different account names on XStreet for business reasons.

So? I have an alt account that I use for "business reasons".

Or are you saying that there are accounts on XStreet which have no SL analogues?

You know it's possible to write code that can be used to implement a variety of policies, right? They don't have to know what the definition of "Adult" is going to be to add "Adult" as a rating level.

Now if it were me I'd have implemented the client with a lot of hooks for scripting via the XML files and embedded scripts in the XML, so the whole "adult policy" could be implemented without changing a line of "C", and there would be no need to roll out a new client, but even with a more "hardcoded" client there's no reason to assume that they had to decide on the details of the policy before putting code to paper.

Blondin has explicitly said that you don't have to flag as adult to sell adult animations. I suspect that some of the other places you've listed will have to flag for other reasons, but a bunch of blue and pink balls isn't "adult content".

They may choose to move to show up on search with explicit language in their search terms, but I suspect that people looking for adult animations will be searching for "adult animations" before long. These stores are big enough that they're more likely set up an adult-only subsidiary rather than make their main stores adult-only.

The people who are most hurt by this policy aren't the big names, they're all the people in the demimonde who are AR-bait but won't be considered "critical" for Linden Labs.

..or an indication of satire, if the context fits.



Agreed, but context does play a part in determinate usage of quotes. Barring any other obvious cues, stating that a quote is actually a paraphrase is a requirement, though it is usually a good idea anyway when debating important topics.

I think the surrounding text made it pretty clear that it was satire rather than a direct quotation.

I also think that arguing about the nature of sarcasm, proper attribution, and the like is not advancing your point. I don't know whether he inadvertently trolled you or you trolled yourself, you're running way off topic here. While I don't necessarily agree with everything you say I think you have made much better arguments in support of it elsewhere.

Yes.

That's what they said so far...but I for one don't put much faith in all thats been said and it could change again overnight.
One Linden saying one thing and another saying the opposite....I don't trust them farther than i can spit

Weird..

When I signed up, I had to use my SL name. Must have been the case earlier in their history.

Chew up an apple before you spit and the pectin helps bind the saliva. Really helps you increase your distance.

I don't know if it was that, or people contacted them and asked for special deals, or what, but there were several comments to that effect on the XSL forums a while back.

There are three things in life whether its here or RL that makes me see fire!

1. Trampling on my rights and tying to take my FREEDOM away
2. Threatning my family or friends
3. STEALING my hard earned money...which is what SL is trying to do by substituting a different product than what I paid for and am paying for at the present time.....FORCING me to accept it or telling me to hit the bricks with no compensation...same as grand theft!

ok ...I vented for the day..carry on

hmmm ....it tends to just dribble off my bottom lip...not good... on my shirt now

Oh, well, I guess an apple a day keeps the Lindens away...
