Having said that, I will add that I'm tired of worrying about these things. Maybe you will get lucky Enabran, and they will close down every forum on the site.

Coco, it could happen. Here is an old thread where Philip responded to that concept.

Linking to a sluniverse forum thread for Philip's views is kind of amusing.

Actually, while the stipend changed, wasn't it always sorta tied into the ratings? Soo, when they did finally implement it, I actually wasn't that shocked. I can't do as much shopping each week, but eh...*shrugs*


Speaking of which I noticed on the preview grid negative ratings were removed.

Cut the FIC crap - I started the thread several days ago in general, before anyone else had, to get a lot of people to respond in support of not closing them, so that the Lindens would see the support for it. That is exactly what happened - look at how many people voiced their opinion. Brace was nice enough then to put it in the Hotline forum. What exactly did you do again to try to stop this from happening? Instead of whining, put your actions where your substantial mouth is.

Very interesting. I wonder what happened to that Mac somebody guy? He was interesting.

And I see some things have been going on forever, apparently. From Kris Ritter on 7/2/04:

"And then other times it seems like they are being ridiculously heavy handed. And inconsistently. It's no wonder that people accuse them of having favorites who can get away with anything time and time again. It feels like that to me too."

This certainly predates me and also certain others who have raised the same issues. Yet I'm led to believe that these issues are merely products of my neurotic imagination and thus talking about things like equal opportunity for all is totally irrelevant.

I notice also the issue of suspending and banning people without their being able to know the details of why they have been suspended is another issue from time immemorial that still hasn't been adequately resolved.

It's also clear that the Philip has always viewed even offering forums with a jaundiced eye. I guess we're lucky to still have them at all.

I guess most of what I read was in response to the closing of the rants forum. I can understand their closing that a lot better than I can understand their closing the Classifieds, though. It would be less painful if they just pulled the plug on the whole thing rather than take it away by pieces.

Cut the FIC crap? I was making a point of how this FIC shit gets started, sorry your so angry that you missed that point Mr.

I found your post to be excessivly rude, and you think I should be thanking you for being the change, kiss my a$$$.

Well maybe everyone else is tired of the same old whining about everything bullshit.

Seriously, if I or someone else had been in Cristiano or Brace's places, would you have bitched about it then? Would you have mentioned FIC?

What does it matter WHO posted it, LL listened to the collective voice of all the posted that posted in that thread.

Seriously, if you hate LL and Slers THAT much, why put up with us?

Maybe employers and prospective employees and seekers of products and services can advertise in the classifieds section of Metaverse Messenger. That's what newspaper classifieds are for, and I'm sure Katt and Phoenix have very reasonable prices and would be thrilled to provide this service.

Yes, we can do that, Sansarya. But having everything available on the "official" web site is much better and makes much more sense. VERY much better for new players, too. It was the Classifieds I lurked more than anywhere else when I was new.

I've put a question in the hotline about the rest of the classifieds.

I was acturaly blaming LL for the fic divide. A lot of ppl have posted a lot of threads in recent days on this topic. Ironicaly the only one that gets a responce from a linden was the thread link I provided. LL had every oppertunity to reply to any number of posts they chose which they replied to and I think I know understand how these "fic" rumors get started. Sorry if you missed that point but it was the point I tried to make.

What makes you think I hate anyone? Please quote me where I say "I hate LL" or "I hate xxxxx player" I don't hate anything, disagree you bet, question, of course. Wonder what motivates ppl and LL, damn straight. But hate, no you must be confusing me with someone else.

I will tell anyone in a heartbeat to piss off if I feel they are being excessivly rude. If you have a problem with that I highly suggest you put me on ignore.

...and so the advertizing in the general forum begins. Perhaps it was not intentional I can always hope

gah what is it with me and my use of the word HATE instead of DISLIKE today *smacks self*

I merely mean, every single last post I ever see from you (which won't be them all, I am aware) its moaning, or complaining about LL or people within SL.

As for the suggestion of muting, I don't see the benefits of believing in free speech then muting someone whos opinion merely differs from those of mine and others. I'd rather tear my hair out and bat my head against an artexed wall, I am not nearly hospitalised enough. THANKS THO!

I have little time these days. for the LL forums. Therefore I just speak up about things that I find a problem with. If I had all day to sit around in my pj's and eat bon bon's, I would be posting a lot of "nice nice, huggy, feel good" posts.

Huggy Huggy Willow you look so good today :D

Being at work for 8hours in freezing cold obviously does my complexion good!

So from you it's fuck your opinions, kiss my ass, what else? You are a a class act. I didn't miss any point. You resent the fact that they paid attention to Brace's hotline post, which linked to my thread. Yet, where was yours, or any other hotline thread about the issue? That is what got the answer. There were multiple posts in this forum, in Shopping, and in Land and Economy. My thread didn't get a response, the hotline one did. You spout off about all this stuff but do zero to change any of it. I have no respect for anyone who just bitches about something and doesn't do a damn thing to improve it. Linden Lab listened to the collective voices of people in that thread. The only one who made an issue out of it was you, and it just smacks of your constant sour grapes attitude.

:eek:Your a very angry man, you know that? You come off with your high and mighty attitude and when someone calls you on it, out come the claws.

What do I do? I speak my mind, that should be enough. Since it's enough for everyone else who does the exact same thing. Yet you only call me out on this, interesting. I would say you have personal issues with me and me alone. Get over it.
