Linden Lab bans Anshe Chung

You never know. makes me wander. the topic wasnt locked yet, so heh..

Given LL's proven track record of the lack of ability to pull off even the simplest of things, something this complex is certainly not possible without some external input.

Perhaps they spent their $11 million windfall on hiring a professional to choreograph this.

I'm curious.

Honestly, you all keep yelling out that 'This won't end well." as if it's some canned repetative pills to shove down our collective throats. Truely, no matter how it ends, LL will still be alive, and Anshe Chung will still be screaming louder then schoolgirls at the swingset.

Regardless if our fellow republican Anshe will be favored on this, it'll be something to pile up on the blame Philip Linden pile. The funny part about this 'problem' is that it happened to Anshe Chung. She, above all else could be the one laughing at this, but no.

A public apology is near? I wouldn't hold my breath, nor would I suggest my worst enemies to do so. The problem here, with Anshe Chung and Linden Labs, is that the fight is between just them and don't you think that they are adult enough to argue for themselves? I am sure they can handle this like responsible adults, or 11 million can look a lot more tasty then a for hire sexual slave turned packet real estate queen.

In truth, I could care less what Linden Lab's or Philip does on this matter; it'll be so, and it won't be reversed. Did anshe finally piss off our beloved ruler, or has he just pulled a Zeus and crushed her tiny little dreams like she pushed him to do?

I'm writing this, only because I'm bored, and I don't mind poking a cat fight with a stick. Such a beautiful thing. *get's popcorn and watches the pixels duke it out*

Congrats, and happy April Fools, Philip...and if you're reading this; remember, we have a dinner date at 8. You're paying, and I'll bring the Anshe doll. We can stab her, just for old times sake.

I've only read this thread and not the other. Having said that, where are the throngs of concerned renters? It seems to me that at least one renter would air their concerns over their landlord (or is that landlady?) having her account suspended.

Considering the tiny % of residents that read the forums, and bearing in mind the majority US playerbase is only just waking up, my guess is that most haven't even heard about it yet.

If this is a joke, I shall demand compensation for having our hopes dashed.

Lewis

I thought her account was called "Anshe ACS" now..?

thats an alt account

Haha, Philip does not care about pesants, they are just that. PEON's

Naw, it's sad really. She get's slashed, and everyone who trusted her to provide care free and fun land are now in the red because someone Linden Lab thought it would be in everyone's best interest to shut her down.

*pops a few more kernals*

I'm sure Anshe has tenants outside the US. Also, these forums are like a drama engine. Even if one of her tenants reads this thread, they will go in world and spread the word. This is Anshe, not one of us "mere consumers". Its big news, and its bigger than the forums.

Who cares if Anshe is "big"? At the end of the day, given the facts available to us, it seems she defaulted on her payment - by her own admission, went overdrawn on her account, and was shut out exactly as standard procedure is supposed to happen.

Should any of us get preferential treatment? No. Unless your name ends in "Linden", you're just another commoner who pays LL for the privilege of playing their game.

LL make the rules, not a player or group of players... and if we break them, we suffer the consequences.

It will be solved one way or the other:

1) It was a computer error which has been resolved, and Anshe carries on playing.

2) It was the required result of a set of circumstances, and possibly eventually bye bye Dreamland.

Lewis

Personally, I'm not gonna call it either way for now. All I'm saying is that it looks peculiar.

Well, well, well........

After reading through all this, Anshe, by her own admission is behind the 8-ball on her payments to LL.

This is no joke. If indeed she is in arrears, then LL should have given her a 7 day grace period, but Anshe denies this. She claims 2 days, which may or may not be the case, but her account is obviously locked. I would dare to speculate, that her account is more than 7 days behind. If this is the case, then she will be back on track as soon as LL gets paid.

Which brings us to the next point. Anshe claims this is a punitive issue, based on some thing other than late payments. That's a pretty tall accusation to throw at LL.

Sounds like Anshe is hung on the horns of a dilemna.

In all retrospect, there is probably more to this than meets the eye.

Tra la la.

This has been a most interesting thread to read. Two things come to mind:

1) I just noticed that Anshee Chung is in-world

2) Anshe can count her blessings that LL doesn't retroactively rewrite their financial agreements the way she did with me over The Forest.

Maybe we'll see a chastened AnsheCorp come out of this, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anshee[/]b yes but not Anshe.

Lewis

I now suspect this is a joke.

Looking at Anshee Chung's profile, it contains a picture of her in a witch's black hat with the comment "Some people if you try to kill them they come back as undead to haunt you..."

If she really had an account banned and was standing to lose tens of thousands in US$, I doubt that modifying her avatar and creating a new profile snapshot would have been high on her priority list!

That shots been there for years from what I remember, I remember seeing it a long long time ago.. As for the quote, I'm not sure of. But the picture I've seen. Think its from.. Halloween 2004?

This is not one of our April Fool's jokes.

While I can't comment on the validity or lack thereof regarding various speculations in this thread due to our strict privacy policy--which applies to any and all Residents of Second Life, as the Community Standards do--I also know that a matter like this is best resolved by contacting Linden Lab's billing and Concierge so that it may be agreeably resolved as soon as possible. I'd certainly encourage doing so, and I wish the best with a speedy resolution.

I am sorry for any and all inconvenience, and regrettably, I apologize that I cannot offer more personal assistance in this.
