People who ban unverifieds for no reason are lame-o's

I like campfires. I want to sing some songs and feast on marshmellows. Thank you for the invite.

Well, there sometimes is some live music, if I am up to playing. And I am searching for marshmellow roasting animations.

When the new land options regarding verified status came out, I was disappointed to not find a ban all but unverified option.

I'm really sorry that reading big words is such a problem for you. But your reading skills are not my problem.


Let's see - who started a whole thread with the juvenile term "lame-o" about the verification flags, and then finds out it wasn't the verification filter that ejected you from that parcel after all -- how's that whole hollow argument working out now?


Let me get this straight, you're telling ME to create content? How much content have you created so far, exactly? And leave my panties out of this, it's only making you look childish.


I agree that banning unverified's isn't a good solution. (Hey, whaddya know?) However, I have no compunctions about banning ignorant twits from my land. There just isn't a flag for that on their profile.


If you're serious about this, I have a notecard I put together from various personal experiences and other forum posts that outlines many ways to make money in SL. I'd gladly send you a copy if you want one. Just don't expect a used pair of panties along with it.

I know I can't expect them everytime and I imagine you may even be running low at this point. Thank you for setting my expectation. You got any used shoes in that bloated inventory of yours you want to rehome?

If you already have the notecard put together I'd love a copy. I also started a thread since I was going a bit off topic in here about job stuff. Thanks.

Wow, I'd so love it if there was a flag for that.

I agree with Cindy, the Lindens seriously botched this one up. Instead of giving us the means to actually deal with the situation they prematurely created, they gave us a nice caste system all rolled up into a simple little toggle. One that isn't being used on my land, as I do not like banning because by groups, but by individuals.


I understand open registration had to happen, but why didn't they give us the tools to handle it before they did it? 'Because we didn't know what we'd need,' was the response I got from Philip Linden. Not an acceptable answer, since as Cindy also stated, we could predict the outcome rather easily. So, why didn't they announce that they were making the change and ask us what we thought we'd need? We'd been asking for better security/anti-griefing tools for some time now.

So, anyone visited a Linden Sandbox that didn't resemble a battle field recently? I did.. but it was on the Preview grid....

Right now, all I want is the ability to disable/enable pushing on my avatar. I want control over my avatar, not some griefing idiot who thinks it's funny to play yo-yo with what I am supposed to have sole control over.

How not stupid.

I am only display prim statues on my mature land, so I have no need to ban anybody, there is nothing to buy and there is no adult material.

However, if I was in the sex/adult trades, I'd have those ban's on without question.

There is *no* way to tell whether you are a child who is just faking your age. Since you cannot prove your age to us, we are left to use the only tools available to us; ban everybody that cannot be verified.

I cannot speak for your experience or why the land you visited kicked you out, but the reasons I stated above, I don't have any problems with the current system. (it could be improved, but that is the subject of 100 other threads).

This is utter BS my 17 yr old cousin just recieved a VISABUXX card from his parents so he would have a CC to use for "EMERGANCY" uses. What is a VISABUXX card it is basically debit card that only allows you to use what money you have put on it. So now he can lie and join SL, get verified, and be considered a adult just because he is verified?

Another fine fleace blanket fix from LL!

What have you done to "prove" you are not underage?

Summer we should get together in-world and kick one back at The Elbow Room sometime, I'm getting testy about being accused of being your alt. =)

Banned on mine as well.

I'm glad you mentioned VISA BUXX:

From the VISA BUXX website concerning the use of credit cards for age verification:


http://www.visabuxx.com/moneytools/tools_ecommerce.cfm

You think Visa is the only one that feels that way?

This has been the policy of credit card companies since at LEAST 2001 when THIS lawyer wrote the Federal Trade Commission lobbying that Credit Cards are not a valid means of age verification.



Ginsu would have NEVER let LL remove credit cards as a means of age verification if he didn't already know that the credit card issuing companies themselves were making it policy to state unequivocally that it is NOT a means of age verification.

A lot of people are going to do more harm to SL then anything Plastic Duck ever did when it comes to new member retention and strained and fractured community relationships.

Way to go Linden Labs.

What for? Not that I even know where your land is anyway, but now I'm looking it up.

For trolling and because its my land and its my right.

That is such a cop out, you forgot to call me an alt too.

Someone called "Banking Laws" is hardly likely to complain about alts.

This joke is not getting nearly enough love.

Really? Its not a copout when I find your attitude and presence to be disgusting and completely undesirable at any height on my land. I was being polite and not sayin it directly: I don't like you and want you nowhere near anything I own.

Soooo, I guess our date for tonight is off?

Off topic for a minute. can somebody explain to me what a forum troll is? I mean if its somebody that scans the different subjects to find one to put their two cents in or maybe give some insight on a certain subject, then arent we all trolls?

Back on topic I went to the place Summer is banned from and yes she was incorrect it wanst a land ban but a security orb bouncing her. As she stated earlier so far no reason has been given to her from the owner. But accroding to some of the people here she has the right to report it and DEMAND a reason for it. Right?

Before you guys Ban me from your land and your places of business for appearing to be on her side. I agree with her about people being lame and using the ban unverified to"protect" themselves from the underage kids but read up to my last post and the following post. But if she did something to offend or piss you off be a adult and tell her what she did so maybe, just maybe, she can understand why shes getting tped home. And yes I know some of you have explained and this isnt directed at you.

Me. (And yes, anyone is very welcome to ban me from your land for that or any other reason you wish with the tools you have been provided, as is your right! Except Neph. Obviously.)

A good example is one who posts -just- to inflame threads, or posts the same crap day in, day out. The land and economy has a good example, but I can't name names.

Has the lindens made a "official" definition on what they call trolling? I am just trying to figure this out.

We've been here before then - you ban everybody anyway!
