RC Questions

I proved that when I had to use an old UK address and I haven't been on the electoral roll there for a good many years either lol

Unfortunately, the irrational limit of 1000 prims on any coallesced objects that can now be taken into inventory or deleted, imposed in server release 1.26.3, still stands. Good luck on moving large and complex builds, when you can't even pick it up all at once!

i would probably never hang out in your area. i never hang out anywhere that is so prudish they make me wear clothes. i stick to mature areas where people hang out like waterhead and bear. why are they still enforcing their double standard infohub rules in mature areas when they no longer send newbies to those areas?

Come to Persephone's Grove -- we're clothing optional and fur-friendly.

So he's really Philip in his jammies . . . ? o.O

Didn't a Linden mention that an updated AC Blog was supposed to be posted on Friday? Guess it was delayed?

*Edit* Nevermind, I see someone already asked.

Yes there was but it looks like the "Land Expo 2009", "Memorial University is Nationally Recognized in Canada for Excellence in Innovation using Second Life", "The Greening of Second Life" and "Shopping for Virtual Goods Just Got Simpler" are far more important for LL than the issues at hand

The XSL one has been interesting. The outcry over the login cockup has probably been 5% of what it was in January (?) when they tried exactly the same thing, yet for some reason after a couple of unfavourable responses on the blog, Colossus has decided he's going to review the procedure and get back to us on Monday.

It's all good fun.

Ah, but that will be their excuse for not giving you the move in the first place.

I apply for a free swap ticket
They come and check out my set-up
Are they going to say "you need to move, but you don't qualify for the free swap", or are they going to say "You don't *need* to move so you don't get the free swap"?

If it's the second, then my response will be "really? can I have that in writing please? And while you're at it, could you write me up a dispensation so that I can advertise to my adult customers from a mature plot of land, please?"

I wonder what the answers to those questions will be?

^V^

Wasn't it Churchill who said that The Americans and the British were two peoples separated by a common language?

^V^

Don't forget, they should put a sexed up *business* on their parcel to qualify- strip club, escort service, sex club, whatever.

Got a 512? "This is my dungeon of sexual horrors"

A 16? "This is my rape room for tinys"

advertise, tart up the land description with terms from the search wiki, and claim economic hardship.

Want to get some decent traffic, midnight mania boards are hot with now- get a set of full perm sex poseballs, and stick them in the MM board give away adult freebies, and find a free porn stream and pipe it to your parcel.

go all out!

Politeness is both relative and contextual. You fit your attempts at politeness to the people you are trying to be polite to, and the environment that you are in.

Say "politeness" as if it has some sort of universal meaning is muddying your position, not clarifying it.



You are continually mistaking opposition to the poorly thought-out and inadequate plan presented by LL as "insisting that nothing should be done". In fact, the point that is being made here, for the most part, is that there are far more effective ways to mitigate, without inflicting such an unusually large amount of financial and emotional pain upon those who are abiding by the current rules of the road.
And in some case, Alexander, not attempting *additional* mitigating methods is the wisest course- especially for LL, considering the package of ideas that they have chosen.



A harder sell than a track record of periodically yanking the rug out from under your investors, content providers, and the businesses that support them? The people without whom SL would by a mass expanse of crap grass textures and duck-walking avatars with orange skin?
A harder sell that *that*, Alexander?



Neither does it follow that "anything new" (as opposed to "nothing new" Has virtue.



Alexander, you have a way of disagreeing even with people who agree with you. and yes, you do prolong the argument by making, in particular, Ad Absurdum arguments. like saying that because someone is against making *additional* sacrifices for a tiny mitigation effect, that they are against mitigation entirely, or advocating doing nothing at all.

Apparently he says restricted entry land (verified, group only), and invite only group, but large group (300 members) is public:

Side comment: I found a few more words that are filtered:

Gambling and Lottery are filtered *Even at adult level*, ie totally banned from search.

This was the point of my question to Blondin at his office hours last week about what happens to someone who sells "sexy clothing" (mature) but primarily designed for a BDSM and fetish market and of interest to strippers and escorts in search of kinky outfits (extremely difficult to advertise to your target market from anything other than adult land).

His response was

George Bernard Shaw

I wonder if there's a Chance Of "Games" becoming a banned term unless LL can get their heads round contextual search. Otherwise I'm betting that people intent on "gaming the system" won't find that particular restriction too difficult to circumvent.

Looks like LL are going to add a whole raft of words they don't like to the list as time moves on what we need is a script that can run on our servers and test a whole dictionary word list and output the banned words to a page on SLapt.me

If there is anyone that can write a script we could house on our servers to test the word list a few times a week and output it to a page on our server for people to check please email me at [email]iain@bdsm-life.com[/email] and I assure anyone getting in touch will have their confidentiality respected and their name or any details will not be released to anyone.

Or if you know someone that could do this please pass the message along.

Many thanks

another list of naughty words to run through the filter after 1.26.n is rolled out next week

From what we've heard, option one is definitely a possibility, but, again, since the swap has nothing to do with whether GTeam and the published guidelines judge you must move, the answer you'd get would only be "You don't qualify for the free swap".
-And if you push them, you'll likely get some waffling about "we do not know what future users will find offensive, so we cannot guarantee you'll not be required to move later".

... or Blondin ... ?

This is true, but I was responding to someone suggesting that everyone should naturally accept *everything* anyone else might present, and that everyone should treat how their actions or attire might affect others as those other's problem. In other words, I was speaking against someone taking an absolute position, not someone saying 'this plan represents too much curtesy,' or 'this plan means well but goes overboard.'



Yes I am, because many are pointing at imperfections in the plan and instead of saying 'fix these aspects' are saying 'haha! this plan isn't perfect, scrap it entirely!.

I am very critical of portions of the plan, and agree that implementation should be delayed until they are taken care of (particularly moving costs).



This is true too, but that does not make it so in this case. You consider this plan fatal, I do not think it will be as bad for SL as others do. Some could be affected very badly, but I have argued in favour of LL mitigating the potential damage a lot more than they are. I also think those aversely affected *might* have some legal recourse in this case, if they can show that LL did not do enough to mitigate the damages and that those people did take significant monetary damages.



I repeat: LL need to provide a lot more support for moves, be a lot more accepting of the desires of people to move (even if there was a couple month's cooling off period to let people get a better sense of how this will really work in practice), and that they need to find better means to allow businiesses to advertize.



No, it does not, but unless you can show where I have argued in favour of this simply because it is new, all you have is a straw man.



Can you give an example of my arguements being absurd rather than mere disagreements? Many of the more recent posts are saying things I was saying a lot earlier in these threads, that were dismissed on the premise that I am too new here to have any meaningful opinion, or that I might be a linden, or simply that bring in favour of the overall plan is somehow 'absurd.'

You are against this, so describe the results as a 'tiny' mitigation effect. Do you have evidence of that? I do know the mitigation effect is not as big as, say, Aristotle would like people to believe, but do you have evidence that it is tiny? Also, do you have evidence of the long term damage from all this? There are a lot of assumptions being made by those projecting their losses. To what extent are they based on fact, on panic, or on neither and are simply arbitrary assumptions?

Well, then, I'm sure I must have read something about Churchill quoting Shaw to someone- probably Lady Astor- she was a frequent foil. My favorite Churchill stories are the ones where he's arguing with someone

^V^

Interesting interpretation of "public", this Linden has. 300 people..., this is a middle-small albanian family, or the amount of people at a mafia-member-funeral, or a meeting of a Hells Angels chapter, or a wedding ceremony in whatever societies, millions more examples are available about why 300 people at one place are *not* necessarily "public".

Enough reason to set "Churchill" onto the filtered words ban list. As well as "Shaw". They both were unfriendly individuADULTS (Churchill did not even hesitate to jail the suffragettes!!!) and their wicked and highly subversive personalities should not be exposed to the zillions of education hungry teenagers and business hungry corporate employees flooding the grid soon (By the Zillions according to Meta Linden). "Mickey Mouse" should be banned from search as well, cause there is an obvious sexual relationship with Minny Mouse going on. Not to mention all the highly explicit content created by "Bukowski", "Miller", "Sartre", "Kerouac","Seneca","Freud" and all the remaining terrible "Artists".
