Well since I'm piss drunk on cheap beer and really don't give a fuck as this is a game here goes.

To the OP who thinks he needs compensation after a paltry month in world, STFU!

The AR button is down and to the left. In case you didnt' hear me STFU!


I can't let you get away with that!

[WTF? NO ATTACHMENTS? - Ok imagine a kitten saying something smartarsed]

As I sit at the internet center in our lovely downtown San Francisco hotel room, I'd just like to apologize and take full responsibility for today's outage. I didn't realize the "don't pull this lever" sign at the LL offices was deadly serious.


(Full rundown of our visit coming as soon as I'm not getting charged by the minute for internet access)

Aw let the poor fellow alone. He needs his just compensation. Along with today's outage and recent upgrades I bet SL was down for 12 hours total in the past month. Therefore, according to my calculations, LL owes him 16 cents!

Yes, LL can compensate us all, then LL can demand compensation from the power company, who then can raise their charges to their consumers to compensate for their loss, thereby pushing up LL's overheads, forcing them to increase charges for Second Life.


Good plan


There was one time the members got compensated for problems........But don`t look for it again. it wil not happen. Not with this amopunt of people in the game now adays.

I no longer have cable, but I used to routinely demand compensation for lost service and would get it.



I do feel some sort of compensation would not be totally out of line. I have owned a services company for years and if my server went down there were many tmes I would simply offer a credit as it was just a smart business move. But that is just my opinion.

Just because it's in a TOS that's agreed to doesn't actually make it legal.

Just an FYI.

Which is a terrible shame, but not particularly relevent in this case - "reasonable expectation" verses downtime of services has been tried in court before.

I am OUTRAGED that SL was down this morning, preventing me from logging on and making silly hats before I went to work. I am ENTITLED to 24/7 access to silly hat building tools.

*cocks AK-47*

LINDENS! OUT HERE, NOW! And don't think you can get your Lessig mate to save you! He's a big man, but he's out of shape.

Business, you are not paying for 100% service. You are just mistaken.

I think it is you who is mistaken. Are you sure you know what you're discussing?




From: Dragon Stryker
What I'm saying is exactly the same thing. We all pay taxes, so if I'm late to work because someone

else got into an accident on the road I drive on every day, I should be compensated for that time I lost sitting in traffic.

It's the same thing as what you're doing in this thread.

It is not the same thing. It is 2 situations that cannot be any more completely different.
1. You are paying taxes because you have no choice.

This is the single huge factor that cannot be overlooked. I do not see how in the name of all sanity you could say that these

situations could be in the slightest sense similar much less exactly the same.




From: FlipperPA Peregrine
This is the greatest thread I think I have ever seen. It has it all. Well, everything but monkeys!


Actually, you're here.




From: Cybin Monde
and i'm back..

ok, MANY posts were made while i wrote my last comment. in that time it seems that the thread has re-directed itself and has

become less negative and more of a serious discussion.

the radar blip is smaller now.. feel free to continue this discussion in the civil manner in which it has evolved into.

i will still be keeping an eye on this thread, but i have not flagged it nor will i provided it continues in the same vein.

Thank you for your continued support. (anyone remember Bartles & James?)

Feel free to delete posts that are unrelated to the topic by trolls with no self controlling popping in to make rude

comments.
If you have such permissions as moderator.




From: Joy Honey
A fully reliable company will have downtime, no matter how much we wish they would not. The ONLY thing in

this day and age that is reliable information... we are all gonna die some day. Taxes... not so reliable any more. I suppose

I should call the power company and demand money off my bill because we had a horrendous storm and power went out for 2

hours... wait, I've had no power for 6 hours for the month of January (2 terrible storms), do I demand compensation for

that?

Of course.
Demanding compensation does not mean they will give it to you, but it will show how responsible they are.
Reality is that most places are just not so legitimate.
Sure anybopdy can have downtime. The difference is that a fully reliable company will take action to compensate their

patrons. Normal companies are not so fully reliable. Therefore, we do not expect much from them. What was your point exactly?




From: Lecktor Hannibal
I only bought Bartles and Jaymes (see <----) when I couldn't afford a case of Schlitz.

With any luck, you probaly will afford it next time, and be too drunk to post here.




From: Cybin Monde
try to keep these points in mind for current and future issues. i know sometimes it can be aggravating,

but LL is made up of humans like you and me and they will do what they can to provide reasonable customer service.

Thank you, but I did not start this thread without the understanding of these points.
Regardless, the facts remain.
And thank you as well for presenting your disagreement in a positive and mature manner.
There is nothing wrong with disagreeing. Too bad some people just don't know how to disagree without rude comments.




From: LilMissy Fox
You need to step back and get a life....or at least come to grips with the reality of this one. This

isn't a perfect world.... NOTHING is perfect...or works perfect 100% of the time. Your being inmature. This IS a game......

YOU are CHOOSING to pay for the service......and they like ANY other business in SL or RL world have the right to be down for

whatever reason. Hell when they are down.. it's to simply try and make SL a better place to play.
SL is entertainment ya know........... and your bitchin about something so damn small in the whole scheme of things.

Let me guess.... you count the pieces of bread in a loaf and if it doesn't come out to EXACTLY what YOU think it should

be............. you call the bread company and complain?

If this is ALL you fuc*in have to sit and bitch about.

Sucks to be you!!!!!!

Yes some people like to b and moan about trivial things lashing out and throwing out insults exemplifying the pain they are

in. Thanks for the prime example. Sucks to be who?




From: Enabran Templar
Maybe Business should get a job. ;)

I'd rather not. Better to let you do all the work. Hope it's so fulfilling that we won't have to see you on these forums any

longer.

From: Buhamut Bligh
And I apologize for coming off as snide, but this thread was nothing more then troll bait from the very

beginning. Now stop trying to pass it off as anything else.

This thread is a discussion. Anything other than kindness and productivity in a discussion is trash. But trolls do tend to be

presumptuous, so I guess we shouldn't expect much better.
It's nice how when a troll disagrees with something, they either make a rude comment or presume what they disagree with to be

the troll/troll bait.
Hopefully the legitimate people here that want to have a legitimate discussion will not fall into the same nonsense.




From: Phoenix Psaltery
Good god, man! Can't you see what effect your constant sniggling is having on Mr. Templar?

You mean on you? I'm sure you'll get over it.

With any luck that will never happen. But it is refreshing to be very far away from San Fransisco now that I know the likes

of it's occupant.

Therefore, according to my calculations

Try not to strain yourself.

my TP rolls always run out... I must have spent -hundreds- on these things by now, and I DEMAND

COMPENSATION!!!

TP running out alot? So sad. Happens to people that constantly have to wipe in two places. Yes it does come out of the mouth

for some such as Khashai. I wonDer what that's like.




THIS THREAD WILL BE CLOSED.
TROLLS ARE EVERYWHERE ON THE SL FORUM. EVERYWHERE. I HAVE NOTICED IT FROM THE BEGINNING.
IT'S A SIMPLE FACT THAT THE SL FORUM IS INFECTED, AND ANYBODY TRYING TO HAVE A LEGIT DISCUSSION WILL BE FLAMED BY TROLLS.
I GUESS MODERATORS DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DELETE POSTS. APOLOGIES TO ANYBODY HERE THAT WANTED LEGITIMATE DISCUSSION.
I ENCOURAGE ANYBODY TO DISCONTINUE POSTING HERE. THE REST OF THIS THREAD WILL BE NOTHING MORE THAN SAD COMMENTS FROM SAD TROLLS REGARDING THIS POST. I GUESS LEGIT USERS CAN STAY TO LAUGH AT WHATEVER TROLL FOLLOWS THIS POST.

Not everyone is a troll Business. I support your efforts to get the 16 cents that you are entitled to.
