From: Elex Dusk Little late for that. The damage has been done. A resident has been singled out by a member of the Busy Body Committee! LET THE WITCH HUNT BEGIN. *OMG Damage done* Runs screaming from the sl forums....NOT  Not the first post to be against terms. A rule was broken the post will be locked and you wont have anyone to pick on for 5 minutes.... As for others reading this...I have to agree, there is something wrong when one person can't state a name, but someone else can rip off many many residents, and walk away with so much as his name being mentioned.

From: Micheal Steadham Time to move on to the really pressing matter of theft of hundreds of thousands of lindens by person/persons in game. Okay... prove the theft. All I see is a resident-run enterprise that's presently set a limit on daily withdrawals. |

From: VooDoo Bamboo You know this right here just goes to show how screwed up the so called laws are in SL. This guy faces getting a thread locked over a stupid name yet this other guy can take people for thousands of real $$$ and nothing is done. Something to make you scratch your head. It's not the laws of SL, it's the laws of RL. If it is indeed true that he's "stolen" real money, that's an RL crime, and you can sue him IRL for it. Likewise the RL law says that until he's found guilty at a trial, he's innocent - so it's illegal to shout out that he's guilty in public places. |

From: Elex Dusk It's not whether or not they make sense. It's what we all agreed to. If a resident can't abide by the Terms of Service, the Community Standards, and the Forum Guidelines, then maybe Second Life isn't the right community for them to belong to. Okay, 1000 L bounty to whoever can give provable evidence of Elex Dusk breaking either the forum rules or the TOS. You think your all high and mighty my guess is your just as big a hypocrite as anyone else who claims that they have the right to judge other people on the rules, and no just because the rules are there doesn't mean you have to or should be the one to enforce them, let the moderators do that since that's essentially their job (or at least what they volunteered for).

where is my lindens? I'd disagree, though I admit I may have crossed a line on that last post. It just annoys the hell out of me when people act all high and mighty just because they can. I deleted that last post of mine where I did that.

All I see is a resident-run enterprise that's presently set a limit on daily withdrawals. Which changes at the persons discretion, and if you think that you can even get $1 withdrawn, you're mistaken. If you aren't an investor, then you have no idea and this is why I'm continuing this thread. To warn prospective investors so they won't fall trap like we did. |

So all I have to do is pay 20 people for slinging mud at my business competitors, and when enough of my henchmen claim to have been ripped off, no one will buy there anymore? Hm... Just being sarcastic to show why this forum rule is in place.

Just being sarcastic to show why this forum rule is in place. Actually never thought of that before but I could definitely see people doing that if the rule weren't in place, though there has to be a better way to prevent that and allow reasonable naming of names.

Actually know, they'll take your friends, your neighbors, any radical feminists, and any women who are good with herbs or medicine and burn, hang, drown, etc... (depending on where you are) them but your safe if your actually a witch.

This thread shouldn't scare you at all... unless you happen to have something a member of the Busy Body Committee wants... or you have something they feel you don't deserve. Then they feel they have every right to take it away from you, or meddle with it, on the basis of all the "good" it will do for the community. |

If the thread scares you, then what about the possiblity of Second Life becoming completely like Real Life with all the restrictions and problems therein. All I'd like to see is if they're gonna enforce certain RL laws, abide by them all. Not just a few select few that the "high and mighty" elite have decided need to be observed.
Does that scare ya??
