If that's all that happened, I totally concur. Hard to get the full story from that, though. You never know, they might've called them a moron AND insulted their mother!

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and waddles like a duck... and then it rains, and the water rolls off its back... then it dives into the water after the crumbs you toss, and goes tailfeathers up after the crumbs as it chases them to the bottom... is it a TOS/Forums violation to call it a duck?

Well, perhaps.

Regardless... kudos for saying what I suspect many of us were feeling. Especially as it seems that that particular instance was the only TOS violation on the police blotter (which encompasses both SL _and_ the forums) for that entire day - meaning that not a single griefer attack or <18 resident reported was resolved on that day, I'd have to assume.

Methinks the ducks may be running the asylum (recklessly mixing metaphors).

At least they spelled "moron" correctly. Some of them don't even get that part right. :)

oh yes, I can get bombed off my land multiple times, shot at and pushed across my land multiple times, listen to nasty comments. but guess they just missed calling me a moron. I wonder how I can get them to call me that in earshot of a linden so they will finally issue a warning or something. GRRR I am so sick of this crap. I have filed over 20 abuse reports anything in the police blotter about any of this NO WAY. I am also not the only one reporting the same ppl in the same sims, again though NOTHING. Lindens need to wake the hell up or the ppl that actually pay for this game will be leaving and what you will have left is a bunch of children with freebie accounts.

Something is up. Someone has hacked the police blotter maybe. Look at this:

Date: Friday, June 30, 2006
Violation:
Second Life: Respect, Pets
Region:
Arabian Nights
Description: Hedgehogs will be respected, dammit!
Action taken:
Warning issued.

I know the moron thing is believable, having been warned myself for saying something far milder than that on the forums, whle others get NOTHING for using x-rated and foul sexual language.

But - something is up in this case.

...and the ducks, of course... they will still be here.

All (admittedly strained) humor aside... you're quite right - the situation seems to have tripped and fallen facefirst into a Kafkaesque mire.

Honestly, I wish the Lindens all the best here... the ones I've spoken to have been (almost always) uniformly helpful, as well as very cognizant of the current situation. I feel for them, as, I think, the ones I've spoken to feel for us.

*sighs*

Be quiet, Taco.

Here's another possibility: Is this April Fool's Day in a country not the U.S.?

Hmmm, what if you were to disrespect a hedgehog by calling it a moron? Would you get two warnings for the price of one? :eek:
