From: Seronis Zagato I on the other hand WILL call my fellow Zagato a racist. Her comments were completely out of line making assumptions as to what criteria the employess of LL prioritize their responces. I've seen the Lindens respond to these matters. But they have other issues they deal with too. Please clarify whether or not the above statement is considered name calling. If he/she/ were calling be a "silly woman", it would not be so bad. But to call someone a racist who has immediate family members of different races not to mention was raised to be socially diverse, I am very angered by this accussation. What exactly is allowed in these forums? If anyone can call me such names, can they also call me a Bitch, a whore, ad other 4 to 5 letter words? If so, make it clear so that I can unleash my mouth, because I am bottling up several unladylike words. Warmest regards, MadamG |

Ah, we have forum Guidelines. The general construct of what you describe is similar to this situation: editing aggressively offensive personal attacks to remove those statements that violate the community standards (with an accompanying statement explaining the violation and reason for edit), please note language, such as "fraud, liar, cheater, griefer, troller, jerk, scam artist" etc is strongly discouraged, but will not be removed.
So no, we don't have a specific "name calling" rule, but aggressively offensive personal attacks, like calling someone a "lowly dumbass with the IQ of a slug" (for example) and demeaning their self-worth, are not allowed. Someone who chafes you can also be put on Ignore here: http://forums.secondlife.com/profile.php?do=editlistI would also encourage the classier way out, as it says a lot about who you are.  Warmest regards! |
