What is the Criteria Linden Labs?

Okay. First off, I personally didn't find any posts in here offensive. But it has been reported.

This thread has been reported for: Reposting (refer to link about Guidelines).

But I read this thread and don't see it as a repost. For me, there's no harm in questioning LL and their policies in a civil manner. Also, several points have been brought up in here that make it relevant. In my personal judgment, this thread should not be taken away on a too literal interpretation of the Guidelines.

So I've acknolwedged the report but don't see the need for any more action, especially disciplinary. I don't have the final say though.

I thought it was okay to ask since I didn't understand.

Are all things which are reported flagged for review by a LL moderator

Are you saying here that your judgement is not enough to overide a report?

goodwin's law.. coming in at post #5!

I noticed that too, but it's been recently demonstrated that while Nazi iconography is against the TOS, drawing Nazi analogies to Second Life forum business is NOT grounds for diciplinary action, thread closure, or post deletion. So I don't think that post was the culprit.

I condemn the resmod program. I'm not trying to stir the pot, or cause Linden Lab trouble. Everybody knows that is not my nature

If Aimee Weber condemns the Resmod program, that's enough for me to think there must be something very seriously wrong with it indeed. That's like Duff Man protesting against the Duff Beer company (ref. Simpsons).

What I glean is that the resmods see the reports, and if they are laid-back about them, they do nothing. But should one of them see a report and feel it needs to be looked at, then and ONLY then does Jeska ever see it.

That right there is pretty interesting, wouldn't you say?

On a serious note, there has been some *very* alarming inconsistency since this program began. If tthis thread is gone in the morning, it will, sadly, at this point *be* consistant.

Nope, wrong glean there, Coco. The Linden Mods ALWAYS get reports on posts.

I can read a report, do nothing, but Jeska/Pathfinder/etc. will get that same report and do something if they find it valid enough.

ResMods don't pre-screen these reports and decide when to chuck em to the Lindens. We don't have any power but to move threads into Review and the Lindens can do that themselves.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what a righteous indignation going at full speed sounds like when it hits a brick wall.

And I would like to report Reitsuki for that first paragraph! Is it necessary to make such a nasty comment?

Would you rather I just had thought that to myself and never asked, or gotten it cleared up?

No - cause then you wouldn't be able to make such a nasty comment, would you?

And your post is what nastiness and condescending superiority sound like when they get a chance to rear their ugly heads.

My first post back yesterday was asking what had happened to the forums and why the resmod thing was set up so poorly. For my effort my thread was sent in to review because some person in these forums abuse reported it.

The thread I have found was Nuked by LL and I was sent a warning letter stating that I made a personal attack within that thread which was clearly a lie on Linden Labs behalf. Any resmod who saw that thread last night can vouch for the fact that no personal attack was made by myself or anyone else who contributed to that thread.

Linden labs has once again thrown together a poorly concieved plan withought giving the residents any information or criteria based on what direction the forums are taking.....Nice backbone LL.

As for my warning I beliecve I am owed an apology due to the fact that I made no personal attacks....I have the balls to admit when I am wrong.....Wonder if anyone at Linden Labs does?

If you could see some of the posts made by a couple of the resmods in the past, you would be as confused as I am about what standards, if any, are used to issue warnings about posts as well as for resmod selection.

I am definitely going to compile a list of soem of these nasty nasty posts that were apparently given a "pass" by whatever Linden was reviewing forum ARs at the time. Sone are so insulting and crass you would never ever believe they were overlooked when reported.

Ok, so what you mean is, a laid-back mod won't do anything, but one who thought it was pretty bad might sequester the thread?

Go' head if you want, 's your right.

As I've repeatedly said before, It's got nothing to do with your opinions. You're free to have them. It's got everything in the world to do with how you express them.

You did *not* need to sound all high and accusetory like you had uncovered some sinster plot without any facts to back it up. That's just fear-mongering, and it doesn't help anything right now... we're all wound up enough as it is over the mistakes and problems here without adding to it with stuff like that.

That's what I object to, not you having reservations about the ResMod program... I think we all do, myself not excluded.

The thing is, though, nice takes a back seat to professional in customer service. A lot of the best customer service types I've ever known back when I was a guide in Everquest were actually pretty nasty people if you were just talking to them, but somehow managed to put it aside when they were "on the job".

I'm not saying it's a glowing reccomendation, but it doesn't automaticly mean they can't do the job. Part of the reason why I never agreed with the "no warnings on record" thing.

Resident Moderators Selection Criteria:
- Must be both an Second Life Resident and forum participant for at least 3 months
- Write thoughtful, constructive posts
- Have clean Linden Rapsheet (no warnings/suspensions)
- Be peacemakers and know how to use humor to diffuse not attack
- Be warm and welcoming to fellow Residents from all walks of Second Life
- Clear from past participation that they value positive discussion and will contribute to the overall tone of the Second Life Forums

Well you know what, Reitsuki? I don't like you either. Not one little bit. Consider yourself lucky that I don't indulge in little nasty commentary when you post.

I wouldn't disagree with this, but a ResMod's past forum behavior is directly related to this position's requirements.


In the case of the first bunch of requirements it's certainly possible that a user with a dismal forum history could STILL do the job while on duty, but how on earth would Jeska know this if all she has to go by are the user's forum behavior?

However the last one is directly related to a user's forum history.
