today after a frustrating day of crashes i was changing the attributes to some textures i wanted to sell.
the server took about 30 seconds to respond to every change
and since i had about 150 textures it took me over an h to complete
i decided to send a note to all the lindens in the people listing stating that the new server sucks and the new viewer is not good and that i was sending this note to all of them in the hope it would reach someone that could do something about it.
I was expecting an answer from some of them at least
it came in the form of logging me out and banning me for 1 hr.
i think the second life logo should be changed to only have the midle finger up
since that is the way they treat the customers.
I have been a premium customer for over 2 hr and i never complained, but this is too much
Linden is making Microsoft look good

...send a note to all the lindens in the people listing...
Blogging about it would be criticism.

Posting a trouble ticket or Jira would be direct criticism and and expectation of a solution.

Sending out note cards basically saying "you s**k", at best, sounds like spam griefing.

While you're playing in their sandbox, don't be surprised if they boot you a little if you're tossing dirt in their face. It feels good to vent once in a while, just be ready to take the hit if you vent on the wrong people at the wrong time. (=_=)

All I can say is, Lindens are still people, with all the failings and frailties we all have. Honestly would you want to be bombarded with stuff like that? The reality is that the Lindens you sent notecards to probably have nothing to do with the actual operations of the databases. Lindens aren't the Borg with a hive mind.

I know currently some think I'm being too harsh with my own grievances, but I'm trying to remain constructive. It isn't that easy when one's emotions get involved I know.

Probably filing a ticket etc would've been the way to go with this...but I understand that you must have been very frustrated......

I've also gotta say, the image of your idea for the new SL logo......actually can't stop laughing....... :D

Whatever. Lindens reaction is once again predictably juvenile and unprofessional.

It exists. It's part of a particle flooding tool that I've been using for quite a long time to introduce a little fun into an otherwise utterly pointless waste of time.

You forgot electricity, network bandwidth, heating, air conditioning, Cheetos, and room deodorizers. Then again... There's always Springer. (^_^)y
